(OOC: I was looking forward to the ensuing explosion of rage and Natsov that would result from it being passed. Even without the controversy, it was still a good law that I would like to have seen passed, if only for the resulting discussion about WA overreach.)

OOC: Thankfully. I just hope that there is no constant resubmission of this.

Agreed.

[Nunavutialand]

Oh, we've nothing else to say here, other than you should question the validity of that "regionmate" when they provide your with further information.

OOC: If it makes you feel better, the information was offered unsolicited.

OOC: More proof that the Secretariat is a complete and utter twat.

Let's calm

[Nova Trieste]

The people of Nova Triest is glad to see that majority of the WA values common sense more than the subjective morals of the "ethics police". I'm almost feared that our glorious work of purging our territory from traitors, bandits and spies would have been... compromised.

[Sacara]

Extremely delighted to see this fail.

[Inberdia]

It would have been entertaining to see this pass, but I dont really care.

[Hamstan]

Ambassador Hamer stands. He looks relived and rejuvenated.
"Today, I address you, thank Hamehameha, a delegate from the free Confederacy of Hamstan. I hope that this day is marked well as the day the nations of the world stood up to what could have been tyranny by the Assembly. Let us also hope that this day marks a turnaround for an as-of-late increasingly globalist and overbearing organization. We Hamstanians also have a debate on this very issue brewing, but the fact that that decision is not being made for us is a great relief. Let us now reflect on our actions and continue to try to make both the world and the Assembly a better place for all mankind. Long live the World Assembly! Libertate et iustitiae mundi Valete!

[Hobbesistan]

Well this was entertaining

[Linux and the X]

We hope this will be resubmitted. Even if it fails again, we're happy to see it drain the resources of those states that believe it acceptable to kill.

[Kashida]

This cost Kashida literally nothing to fight in fact after the first day we just kept an eye on the voting.Also how petty lose with dignity.

[Kashida]

Victory! We the nation of Kashida are glad to see the ban defeated and to see that WA nations sovereign right of law will remain with the nation.

Ooc: ironic considering how many Against voters wouldn't have complied.

[Sefy the Great]

it's actually easier on the state to kill a criminal then let them live and hoover up the taxpayer's money (or human souls or Sanity or whatever).

But dear Ambassador it is not your right alone to dictate what is right and wrong. Just because you may feel your view on capital punishment is right and justified doesnt make it so.

Its a grey issue not a black and white issue. Same goes for abortion, euthanasia and sending men and women to war knowing they could be killed. You will never get 100% agreement to think so is selfish.

Your rights may lie with the accused or the woman wanting to abort or the person dying a painful death, other people feel the rights of the victim have been trampled on and justice needs to be served or they think of the life growing in the womb or the fact that doctors have given false diagnosis and healthy people have died or members of society feeling people with mental issues should also be euthanized.

Ambassador, so are you suggesting your thought process and beliefs are right and those outside your thinking are incorrect in their thinking?

What is right to you, may in fact not be the case for what is actually right.


What is right? The universal question does not lie in you alone.

[Arasi Luvasa]

"We have already discussed inalienable human rights as accepted by this assembly I believe."

[Xanthal]

I agree with the West Phoenician delegation. Right and wrong may not be a democratic question, but in the WA it has to be. Otherwise what kind of question can it be? Everybody thinks they're right; how are we to decide whose morality to follow if not by voting?
