The Senate of Aurentina,

RECOGNISING that there is no passed legislation regarding hate speech,

ALARMED at the legal status of hate speech as a result,

AMENDS the definition of "harmful in nature" in the Limiting Legislation Act to "slander, personal information not belonging to they who utter the information, sensitive information, open threats against another person, hate speech, and threats of open rebellion, or terrorism against our nation."

ADDS a new clause to Section E of the Criminal Code of the Aurentine Commonwealth entitled "Hate Speech", which says "Hate Speech is determined to be assault by Person X on Person Y based on their nationality, skin colour, race, sexual orientation or religious beliefs in a ridiculing, insulting or threatening manner, or in order to incite hatred towards Person Y. It is a Contravention."

HEREBY PASSES the Criminalisation of Hate Speech Act.

Children of Immigrants Standardized Test Act

Author: Placenza (ATBP) | Sponsors:
Category: Domestic Development
Urgency: Moderate



The Senate of Aurentina,

ACKNOWLEDGING immigrants are immigrating to Aurentina every year,

FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGING many of those immigrants intend to stay in the country and rear children,

REALIZING the immigrants were not raised in Aurentina, and therefore are not fluent in Aurentine politics,

BELIEVING it is that State's job to educate these children,

DEFINES a standardized test as an exam created by, given by, and graded by the State,

HEREBY ENACTS the Children of Immigrants Standardized Test Act, mandating the following:

  • The children of immigrants will attend a course after school hours on Aurentine culture, government, and language at the beginning of the fourth grade.
  • At the end of the fourth grade, the children of immigrants will take a standardized test on the course's material.
  • If a child fails or does not take the test, he will be restricted from working in a public office, a government job, and from voting.
  • Children who fail the test may retake the test twice a year if they wish to.
  • Children who pass the test may take public office, obtain a government job, and vote.

Your test scores indicate that you are a tough-minded conservative; this is the political profile one might associate with a police officer. It appears that you are tolerant towards religion, and have a pragmatic attitude towards humanity in general.

Your attitudes towards economics appear socialist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a patriot.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a uncompromising principled hereditarian with many strong convictions.

An appalling infringement on the rights of people solely based on their parent's status as naturalized citizens.

What would make any sane Senator support this first step in the BSP mission of relegating immigrants to "second-class" status?

It is not "second-class status", it is a measure to prevent the children of unknowledgeable, and possibly uneducated immigrants from taking part in Aurentine politics. How can they expect to do good when they do not know how anything works?

What makes the children of immigrants any less knowledgeable or educated than the average child?

Such a thing could be easily solved by amending the Education Act to require all children receive education in government structure and procedures.

The real purpose of this bill is transparently clear, Senator. And it will not stand.

What makes them less knowledgeable/uneducated is that their parents are not Aurentine natives, and therefore are not well-versed in Aurentine politics.

And I agree with you, and withdraw the Act.

So instead of proposing a bill to ensure all children receive equal knowledge on government policy, you proposed a bill to:
  • ostracize the children of immigrant citizens by forcing them to take after-school classes;
  • force these children to take a test that the children of born Aurentine citizens are not required to take; and
  • deny a group of Aurentine citizens the right to vote, to hold public office, or work in the civil service because they refuse to take said test?
A bill which does nothing to help the situation and instead merely perpetuates your party's policy of immigrant-bashing?

The Führer would be proud, Senator.

And I agree with you, and withdraw the Act.


Good, it saves us the trouble of having to debate and then shoot it down.

Opposed, as this is the first step to take away the rights of many.

As a woman born here in this country to two non-citizens, and as the adopted daughter of two immigrants who fled prosecution elsewhere, I ask everyone to oppose this legislation.

((Ha, even if y'all did get your way, you could never revoke my status as a "born citizen", since my Senator was living in Aurentina when we got independence.))

It is a Contravention."

Your test scores indicate that you are a tough-minded conservative; this is the political profile one might associate with a police officer. It appears that you are tolerant towards religion, and have a pragmatic attitude towards humanity in general.

Your attitudes towards economics appear socialist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a patriot.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a uncompromising principled hereditarian with many strong convictions.

My nation represents 98.2% of my actual views.

Night watch Act

Author: CTALNH (SAP) Urgency: High SIMBEDS: Security Sponsors:CTALNH (SAP),Belmaria (LCP)


Aware that our country is facing quite bit of problem because of criminal elements,

Believing that people should be able to freely form night watch organizations,

This Act:

Allows the creation of night watch organizations at will by people who are interested to help maintain public safety,

Repeals Section 4d of the ISA,

Defines a "night watch organization" as:

1. A Watch or Guard the roams streets at night, especially for security

2. Armed organized citizens following said Watch or Guard

Anybody gonna sponsor this?

Strict state control of the economy is necessary to make the great leap forward into that brighter future, and all elements of society must be sure to contribute or else."

Please learn to read other posts. That was removed in place of an amendment to another act.
