Silly and/or Illegal GA Proposals. zOMG!

Democracy Across The Board
A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.


Category: Furtherment of Democracy
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Eddmah

Description: In an attempt to promote equality and justice within the political system, I propose that all WA members abolish all laws, practices, and traditions, that hand leadership over to an individual, without them being elected by the people and for the people.

This proposal includes the removal and replacement of the following, as Democratically elected leaders...

DICTATORS: No member or delegate nation of the WA shall be ruled by a self proclaimed, lifelong dictator.

MONARCHS: Royalty, granted positions of power on the basis that they are born of a royal blood line shall not be given authority to govern and make governmental decisions, however, they may maintain ceremonial rights as well as diplomatic positions as Heads of State.

THEOCRATS: There shall be no ruler, leading the government under "divine right" in WA nations. However, religious figures will remain free to control their respective groups, run for public office (should religious laws permit it) and/or advise the elected government officials.

1. Illegal. Changes the way the game works in favour of one system of government.
2. We are tired of la-la land know-nothing proposals which try to mandate a "one size fits all" policy on everybody.

I swear by my pretty floral bonnet, one more of these and the Kingdom and Empire of Grays Harbor will declare war on the proposer just to annoy them.

but, instead....

Evidently. So there's probably no need to repost the same thing every damn time. We get it. Your dislike of how the WA works does not make such proposals illegal in their own right.

i apologize that my objections to useless proposals offends you. that they all seem to fit into the category I post my objection over should say something. I do not dislike how the WA works. I dislike "one size fits all" proposals, and ones that are contrary to the rules. That is what makes them illegal. If you do not like my objections, you are most certainly free not to read them, because I most certainly will not stop posting my disapproval of useless and illegal proposals.

edit: why feed the troll

[Grays Harbor]

cute. because somebody disagrees with you, they are automatically a troll.

should you care to notice, i do not object to every proposed resolution, in fact, it is not even half of them. just the ones which exhibite illegal properties.

so, please show me where there is a rule which states that a WA member, and a regional delegate, is not permitted to voice objections, and i will stop. otherwise, i shall continue to voice those objections.

edit: why feed the troll

Cool it, guys. QoD, I can't see GH's comments as intended to troll. They're just comments. GH, they'd be better elsewhere, though.This is a help-your-tired-mods thread (check the intro). Possibly a help-novice-authors-learn thread. All that's really needed is a comment on why it's silly, or a reference to why it's illegal. If you want to discuss an entire category, you can do it in a separate thread.

You both agree it's illegal. I do too (ideological ban). Next?

[Grays Harbor]

thank you

Corporate Tax Act

A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.


Category: Free Trade
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Mattheis

Description: In the interests of free trade and the furtherment of the economies of the world, it is in my opinion that we void all taxes against corporations that wish this.

THE EFFECTS OF THID ACT

-All taxes on corporations will be void if they decide to partake in this act

-Corporations who takepart will not be able to recieve goverment funding, or bail-outs under any circumstances

-A six month grace period will be offered to all corporations that partake to allow them to decide if they want to maintain their position, or to switch back

Not sure about this one. Though there be bad spelling.

The world police isn't allowed in the World Assembly. It has been pulled already.

But this is Time Police. They patrol the timeline.

It doesn't matter what their patrolling, it's still a WA run police force which is illegal.

[Eddmah]

I apologize. I was not aware at the time, that my proposal violated WA standards. I accept the rejection of the proposal and do not wish to encourage disunity or war among nations.

Conceiled Weapon's License

Category: Gun Control
Decision: Tighten
Proposed by: Cheztope

Description: AWARE that guns promote violence and crime if put into the wrong hands.

FEARING that if guns such as small firearms or pistols are bought without restriction, violence and turmoil would over run society.

DEMANDS that countries prevent immature, underage, criminals, or any other party considered not suitable for possesion of small arms be restricted from owning, stealing, or otherwise possesing any firearm whatsoever.

HEREBY establishes the FPCB (Firearm's Protection and Control Bureau)

STATES that the FPCB shall provide practice, studies, schools, or any way that is possible to educate about gun safety. If an individual that is eligible passes the educational and practice pourtions of the Conceiled weapon's Licence test they shall be granted permission to carry small firearms into rural or otherwise low population density vicinities.

FURTHER STATES that the individual who owns or posses a firearm is liable for all charges that would be filed against him/her.

UNDERSTANDING that crimes may erupt, but will hopefully be prevented by individuals who protect themselves by owning or possesing firearms.

INSISTS that the FPCB shall work with member states to devise the highest standards of quality education that a potential owner of a legal firearm shall be tought.

HOPING that in with a law in place such as this one, the people may be able to stop crimes on their own, helping to cut theemergency response teams such as police and medical team's budget, making room for economic growth.

Hello, is this resolution only creating stuff? "Demands" may not be an operating clause, correct me if I'm wrong.

Repeal "Nuclear Arms Possession Act"

A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution


Category: Repeal
Resolution: #10
Proposed by: Fertuccini

Description: WA Resolution #10: Nuclear Arms Possession Act (Category: International Security; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: ABHORED that nations would even suggest to posses nuclear weapons, I would rather be in exile than expirience the effect of a nuclear bomb,
NOTICING that there are many other modern weapons that can be used to deal with external conflict,
REALIZING that many nations will be reluctant, but that it is extremely important to prevent any nuclear disaster from occuring.
REQUIRES that any nuclear bomb that wants to be dropped will have to be individually voted on by WA members

Tries to do more then a simple repeal.

[Bears Armed]

Oh dear...

Repeal "Nuclear Arms Possession Act"

*(snip)*


REQUIRES that any nuclear bomb that wants to be dropped will have to be individually voted on by WA members

"Me! Me! Drop ME!"

Since when did nuclear bombs have feelings?

Their feelings are irrelevant. If they're not good enough to make the team they deserve to be dropped, or at least relegated to the substitutes bench.

[Mostly Everything Goes]

But they WANTED to be dropped. So, I guess they purposefully were fail bombs.

True. If they're not going to go out there and give it 110%... ah sod it, that's enough sporting metaphors for one day.

It's impossible for one to give more than one has. So, yeah, I guess they all get dropped.
