Repeal "Child Welfare in Adoption"

A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.

Category: Repeal | Resolution: GA#297 | Proposed by: Kerknia

Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #297: Child Welfare in Adoption (Category: Social Justice; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: This bill goes against certain laws implemented in Kerknia, as well as many others. In Kerknia, homosexuality is punished with execution. There is no way that those put to death can adopt a child. There are also security issues involved. If a child from a raider nation is allowed in, they may eventually instigate revolution, or worse, help their raider brethren. These issues are why I propose the repeal of GA Resolution #297. There is no doubt that the common good would be improved if the bill was overturned.

Branding, Honest Mistake, Grossly Offensive?, Format - this is an extremely ill eagle.

More like NatSov and nothing but NatSov.

And you've inspired me, an ill eagle would make a great emblem for the WA!

Thinly veiled RW references, specific dollar amounts, pretty vague body of text.

Gun-Users in the Military

A resolution to tighten or relax gun control laws.



Category: Gun Control

Decision: Tighten

Proposed by: Vaque


Description: DESCRIPTION:Though this is a resolution to tighten gun laws it also relaxes the laws in a sort of way. This shall be explained in three articles.

ARTICLE No.1:Citizens of any region/country that are registered with any weaponry dating from the Modern-Era onward and uses it for Hunting/Sporting shall use that weapon for military use.

ARTICLE No.2:If this citizen is eligible of carrying a weapon AND uses this weapon shall attend a 5-Month Weapon Handling Class and shall be conscripted in the military for a total of 4 1/2 Months and shall be granted leave if this conscript has an entry-visa or telegram from an M.P or High-Ranking Official.

ARTICLE No.3:If this citizen who owns a weapon should be injured during the 5-Month Weapon Handling Class or during Basic Training before his official assignment in the military, shall be assigned a 4-Month leave and shall retake the 5-Month Weapon Handling Class after his leave is completed.

As you may've seen there are loop-holes through all of these articles and shall be filled below:

No.1:If a citizen is to have his gun license and DOES NOT have his registered weapon, he or she will STILL attend the class and be conscripted.

No.2:If this citizen is to desert or not attend the class at a certain date, he or she will be tracked down at their location and be court-martialed.

No.3:If this person is actually caught being injured on purpose by an M.P. or Supervisor he or she shall be court-martialed. This is filled loop-hole is void if his or her weapon is jammed.

Pretty sure the WA cannot mandate conscription.

Oh noes! Save the environment

A resolution to increase the quality of the world's environment, at the expense of industry.

Category: Environmental | Industry Affected: Logging | Proposed by: Beikun

Description: As our industry grows, our environment worsens.
Sooner or later, there will be no environment......... Which means that the world will be inhabitable for many animals. That, in turn will mess up our livelihood, therefore making life bad!
In order to prevent that, we need to pass 2 laws.

1. Environmental protection Act
   
   1. The environment of the surrounding areas shall not be disturbed.
   2. In the act of disturbing, the severity of the case shall be examined. Depending on it, the charge will be a small fine to a sentence of 3 years.
   3. Endangered species shall be put in a protective wildlife reserve. This will be a safe area for them.
2. Emergency endangered animal act
   
   1. Endangered animals shall be kept in safe, natural preserves, to not be disturbed by the common public.
   2. If an animal nears extinction, they will be kept in utmost safety.

So there it is! Please pass it in order to save the environment

As always with these proposals, I genuinely can't tell if this is bad satire, or just bad. Either way it appears to be illegal for contradicting Endangered Species Protection and proposals like Uranium Mining Standards Act and Sustainable Forest Management.

Also - a sentence of 3 years of what? 3 years in prison? 3 years of hard labour? 3 years of having to watch Charlie's Angels reruns?

No, they must say a sentence that takes three years to say.

Pretty sure the WA cannot mandate conscription.

Pretty sure if you own a hunting rifle, you're already going to know how to handle it.
Also,

No.3:If this person is actually caught being injured on purpose by an M.P. or Supervisor he or she shall be court-martialed. This is filled loop-hole is void if his or her weapon is jammed.

So if I'm reading this poorly-structured sentence right, if an MP or supervisor intentionally injures you, you'll be court-martialed, but you won't get court-martialed if your weapon happens to be jammed.

Umm... bumpersticker one-liner type thing/blog, and the only mandate thing makes me struggle to see how that requires increasing education spending, so possibly category violation?

[The Dark Star Republic]

It had an operative clause; don't see what was illegal about it.

But it did have the traditional spelling errors in an Educational proposal.

[Araraukar]

It had an operative clause; don't see what was illegal about it.

Never said it didn't, just that I didn't see it doing anything that would increase education spending, which is what the chosen category requires.

[The Dark Star Republic]

Overhauling every education system in the WA would require quite a bit of funding.

There's probably no point arguing on this point, though, as no one has deigned to explain why it was deleted so it could be another issue entirely.

[Defwa]

I understand where you're coming from DSR, but if nothing else this resolution was a clear case of bloody stupid. Not technically illegal, but pointless. Sure its got am active clause, more or less, but its not stated at any point what it actually does. He might as well have said flibble the gibblets to the wonk wonk wonk. None of it had any meaning- though their intent was insinuated.

Its better to keep the queue clean so the rubber stamp brigade doesn't make us go through untested tripe to get to important imaginary issues.

[Araraukar]

Overhauling every education system in the WA would require quite a bit of funding.

If there was any overhaul needed. "Think outside the box"-way of critical thought is not necessarily equivalent to "major overhaul of school system". In my mind it just means critical thinking, which should already be taught in a rational nation's schools. (Theocracies might not have it "pre-installed" in their schooling systems, I'll give you that.)

Maybe we'll find out why it was removed, if the submitter makes a fuss about it.

In your mind, but not in the proposal, which is explicitly about "inquiry based learning".

Nonetheless, the proposal did have four clauses, so on reflection it may have been illegal for being too wordy.
