[PASSED] Ocean Noise Reduction

[Turtles with Guns]

my turtles enjoy the soothing sounds of the ocean we need to increase the noise if possible

[Massachusettsistan]

My people rely almost entirely on fishing to sustain our economy, passing this would damn 5 million Massachusettsistanians to poverty.

Please reconsider passing this.

Bell votes for this even harder.

If we can't make money, we'll just take it from you liberal weaklings I guess.

"Because you know, name calling will get you far. I'll have to remember that if and or when it happens and recommend our Department of International Aid deny any request for assistance from Massachusettsistan. May I ask just HOW having to put a freaking muffler on your fishing trawlers is going to ruin your economy? You can still fish. God."

We practice halal fishing, making us do that is a violation of our religious rights.

"It's my understanding that any fish is considered halal, so long as it has scales." Jason shrugs "I'm no expert, and I'm just going off of my own cursory research, but that appears to be the case."

Our sect of Islam prohibits fishing with anything other than loud boats.

"And my sect of Old Norse Paganism prohibits tolerating bullshit, ambassador. You're not trying to take us for fools, you're trying to take us for utter gibbering buffoons. If your religion is this oddly specific and unforgiving, perhaps the World Assembly is not for you. For the rest of us who are capable of participation in the World Assembly without being inane, we will find a reasonable way to accommodate the law without crippling our industry."

I really don't appreciate your intolerance sir. Islamophobic sentiment seems rife in your nation, I hope something can be done to stop your bigotry.

The prophet Mohammad is estimated to have lived from 570 AD - 632 AD. At this time, the concept of the combustion engine would have been incomprehensible, let alone an understanding of the decibel level of the noises it might make. Your sect of Islam is non-existent and non-sensical, which is where ambassador Bell's sentiments originate, I think.

How is it non-existent when 5 million of my citizens practice it? Who are you to judge our beliefs?

"I don't believe that Islamaphobia is terribly prevalent in the C.D.S.P., at least not more than anywhere else. We have our xenophobes and bigots, but its hardly rampant. My intolerance is towards your lies."

"Tell me, how the hell does a sect of Islam, seemingly founded hundreds of years before the creation of the steam engine, let alone the combustion engine, have an issue with it due to a single clause over a ridiculous thing as "having loud boats while fishing?"

OOC:
Perhaps fishermen were formerly required to scream loudly. In any case, can we all please just ignore this blatantly absurd RP? There's no reason to be giving it a platform like this.

IC: "Anyway, while I do feel that it is a bit overreaching of the WA's power considering that the argument is a bit of a slippery slope and that it's a little issue compared to other environmental issues, I suppose it's tolerable. Plus, I doubt that a vote "Against" would be helpful, so I support. At least until the next Repeal comes along."

[Scherzinger]

Just like the secret treaties, we refuse to implement this into our lives. My military and industry will suffer all because of Mrs. Nature here good luck getting my vote on anything of yours.

My nation will not comply with this farce, the military sonar we use in the waters will stay on

[Imperium Anglorum]

My nation will not comply with this farce, the military sonar we use in the waters will stay on

Does the resolution require that they be off? Or are we now operating in waters full of Vitami's magical non-existent clauses?

We support Vitami and continue to scoff and laugh at the Democracies who are too stupid to realize that rulers dont want your shit. The Emperor and Empress continue to express their hatred for you

We are proud members of the WA, and will continue to do what we please. The Emperor and Empress do not fear your empty threats of expulsion. As Empress Kawashima said, " We never were afraid of Democracies before, and will continue to be fearless and would welcome your petty threats of expulsion. We dont hate IA, we just hate your attempts to make everybody a disgusting Democracy. And how can you call yourself a Democracy when your leader is a bloody Emperor?! Good luck with your Democracy conversions and well see you in whatever court you try to devise against us."
