[PASSED] Repeal "Stopping Invasive Species"

[Araraukar]

Humans are an invasive species. They displace other species and are the primary reason other invasive species can move around the world so fast.

She/he/it/they has a good point. Though humans are sapient and as such you're not allowed to class them as pests...

ARI: Well, actually, we suppose that depends on what humans we're talking about, hmm?

[Aaaah Snaaaake]

"Aaaah Snaaaake would be for this repeal if a proper resolution be set in place. Aaaah Snaaaakeans care not just about our own environment but all environs...." Wallace's proper voice drifts off as he slowly notices a talking potted plant, promptly shrieks and lifts his chair in a defensive motion. "GOOD GOD WHAT IN THE HELLS IS THAT?! I TOLD THE PRIME BADGER I WANTED A NEW JOB!"

You'd nominate your universe's version as a pest, then?

OOC:

Oh, that's just the local chlorophyllic hivemind. Don't worry, it doesn't eat creatures that can prove they're sapient. Anymore, that is.

ARI: What? No no, of course not, we were thinking of... erm...

AHUME: Sergeant Boobala.

ARI: Yes, Sergeant Boobala, of course. In any case, we've voted in favor. Nothing earth-shattering here, the repeal makes very good arguments about the resolution's short-comings.

AHUME: Sergeant Boobala.

You know, I think that if Ahume ever got promoted and stopped assisting you, Ari, you'd be in a lot of trouble. As for the firebug you mentioned, there are some humans who would have a really hard time of having enough time to prove they're sapient, before being acted on as a kill-on-sight-pest by quite a few nations here... Excepting your own, of course.

OOC EDIT: Have a good trip, by the way.

"Well, an ogre bounty hunter handed me his severed head in a sack, so I'm not sure you need to have a lot of proof so long as you're in contact with the ogres of Kernen."

[Araraukar]

"Well, an ogre bounty hunter handed me his severed head in a sack, so I'm not sure you need to have a lot of proof so long as you're in contact with the ogres of Kernen."

Well yeah, but that's good for militant nations like yours, dealing with bounty hunters and mercenaries, I mean. The most the Wads would be able to do, would probably be taking whatever song he hated most and singing it loud in the Bar. Oh and ooh, now that I remember, did you ever try out the fruit wine from the bladder plant you got from PPU?

OOC: I still think Bell should've kept the head as a memento - the skull would've made a great paperweight.

"Erm, I tried it out after experimenting on an intern. She didn't seem to choke on any hidden seeds or burrs, so I tried it. Delightful, but I still can't help but wonder if the plant will try to eat me.

"I don't know, the Wads can always deal with mercenaries through intermediaries. The C.D.S.P. generally avoids dealing with mercenaries, but when several jurisdictions are crossed, its easier to put out a bounty then it is to bicker with liaisons."

OOC: Talk about dark! Just because we have a runaway military budget doesn't make my Separatists barbarians!

Well, maybe we are heathens, but certainly not barbarians.

hai1!!

[Asturies-Llion]

The previous resolution is misunderstood in an interested way in this resolution. "Stopping Invasive Species" doesn't prohibit the closure of borders, it prohibits only if it supposed to be done to stop an invasive species from spreading.
I think we have to vote against this Repeal.

[Araraukar]

"Stopping Invasive Species" doesn't prohibit the closure of borders, it prohibits only if it supposed to be done to stop an invasive species from spreading.

Border closure is the most effective way to stop sapient beings from spreading an invasive species, whether by accident or purpose. For a resolution geared towards stopping all the ways in which an invasive species can spread, that's a serious flaw.

That's an extreme option, it must be a flood of invasive species

[Undarum]

uhmm...I think that "all means necessary" is exaggerated, and can be dangerous.I'm for this issue, but it can be hurtful.The invasive species are a big problem for the enviroment, but this "necessary means" can be to.

[Wallenburg]

Repeal "Stopping Invasive Species" was passed 14,844 votes to 2,954.

For the record, I decided to abstain on this resolution.
