International Language

A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.


Category: Free Trade


Strength: Significant


Proposed by: Sleegi

Description: DEFINING language as the words, their pronunciation, and the methods of combining them used and understood by a community,

NOTING that the language barrier is causing the advancement of technology, industry, and agriculture to dwindle,

FURTHER NOTING that the wide difference of languages makes communication with everybody a difficult process.

The World Assembly Hereby,

ESTABLISHES a organization for the creating, and up-keeping of a new, international language,

BELIEVING that this will help the advancement of the world.

Approvals: 0

Status: Lacking Support (requires 67 more approvals)

Voting Ends: in 3 days 4 hours

Any other issues with this proposal aside, I note that there already is an international language. Someone mind telling me exactly how many WA proposals have been submitted in languages other than English? Anyone?

[Grays Harbor]

But isn't it a good thing that the WA is finally defining what a language is? After all, we have all been communicating in grunts and clicks for the past several thousand years without the benefit of this glorious oversight, right?

They "demand" a revote? Really?

Not to mention the atrocious grammar and spelling.

[St Joanne]

Faults in grammar really do reduce efficiency of a proposal.
And honestly, should a revote even be considered? Is this in progress of going up to the General Assembly or is it already repealed?

[Kryozerkia]

They "demand" a revote? Really?

Not to mention the atrocious grammar and spelling.

I really do wish that players who implement repeals would take the time to read the resolution...

Well, thanks to the Read the Resolution Act, at least someone in their government is.

Repeal "Permit Male Circumcision"

Argument: RECOGNIZING the false fact that male circumcision may be performed for any medical reason.

BEING AWARE that male circumcision was introduced in some countries centuries ago to prevent easy masturbation.

ALSO AWARE that masturbation most commonly is recognized as bad not only morally, but most religiously.

INFORMING that male circumcision is a religious act that has no medical reasons and exposes babies for unnecessary pain and health risk.

HEREBY,
REPEALS Resoulution #141, "Permit Male Circumcision".

I think this one is pretty hilarious, on account of using an urban legend as the basis for a repeal. And even if the urban legend were true... it .. makes.. no .. sense.

Not really worried that this will pass, but does the fact that this proposal is based on ludicrous urban legends not qualify it for deletion?

EDIT: I also encourage the moderators to visualise the debate, should this thing come to a vote!

[Knootoss]

RECOGNIZES the deterioration of the Earth's magnetic field.
DECLARES that nations cannot mine more than 10 tones of iron in order to not deteriorate too much the magnetic field.

A new bronze age beckons!

[Ardchoille]

Not really worried that this will pass, but does the fact that this proposal is based on ludicrous urban legends not qualify it for deletion?

Max has explicitly said that it's not up to moderators to judge the truth or falsity of a proposal. True, he was talking about the massive spin often put on events in C&Cs, but the principle holds.

However, what we technically know as the "'Waahhh! I don't like it!" violation holds good.

EDIT: I also encourage the moderators to visualise the debate, should this thing come to a vote!

Retro me, Satanas!

[Doomiedoomiedoom]

RECOGNIZES the deterioration of the Earth's magnetic field.
DECLARES that nations cannot mine more than 10 tones of iron in order to not deteriorate too much the magnetic field.

A new bronze age beckons!

Since when did our planet have magnetic fields? I thought we stayed down because it was mandated to put glue on the bottom of everything.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY PROPOSAL
ID: blahem_1300758785

Repeal "In Regards to Cloning"
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation


Category: Repeal

Resolution: GA#142

Proposed by: Blahem

Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #142: In Regards to Cloning (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: General Assembly Resolution #142 states,

" DEFINES cloning as 'the creation of an organism that is an exact genetic copy of another' "

Due to this wording, of "an exact genetic copy of another" leaves room to imply that clones that differ even the slightest in DNA will be exempt from all restrictions.

Thus, the DNA-differing clones (should they still be considered clothes), will no longer be humans, nor clones, and thus will be at the mercy of the government.

It is imperative that this resolution is repealed and rewritten to protect the clones and their genetically altered brothers and sisters which are not immune to the restrictions and safety measures.

Thank you.

Approvals: 1 (Defero Populus)

Status: Lacking Support (requires 66 more approvals)

Voting Ends: in 3 days

No operative clause, and does not understand that clones are still considered to be equivalent to non-clones. Also,

the DNA-differing clones (should they still be considered clothes)

makes me LOL.

Not too bad actually, but ...

BANS the use of tactics that would violate international laws.

Meaning?

BANS the use of mercanery ships to further the cause of a shipping company's quota.

How would mercenary ships (presumably raiding boats) help further the quota of shipping moved?

URGES nations to pass any legislation to enforce the Act.

I thought the gnomes made sure that we did ...

[Frenequesta]

BANS the use of tactics that would violate international laws.

Meaning?

I don't know myself, but it may also be a house of cards violation. Law of the Sea, perhaps?

[Grays Harbor]

BANS the use of mercanery ships to further the cause of a shipping company's quota.

We too are having difficulties making heads or tails of this one. WTF does that even mean?

Arguments for:

What the hell is this? "Day of the crappy one line proposals"? Did somebody forget to send me the memo again?

[Mousebumples]

What the hell is this? "Day of the crappy one line proposals"? Did somebody forget to send me the memo again?

Why do you need a memo? Did you have a crappy one-line proposal to submit?

[Grays Harbor]

What the hell is this? "Day of the crappy one line proposals"? Did somebody forget to send me the memo again?

Why do you need a memo? Did you have a crappy one-line proposal to submit?

Considering the "quality" of those submitted today, I believe I could come up with a one word proposal which was better.
