Tell that to your, uh...rainbow-regurgitating figure at the computer.

When I first saw this thread I wondered if someone was getting condemned just on the basis of a nausea-inspiring avatar.

I hereby condemn AMOM for not condemning me. This is indeed a very serious matter. I give you the brow of seriousness :eyebrow:

Against. In the GAR, it is perfectly normal for mean old men to defend their property and swipe cookies from a child's hands. Unless that child of course is the son of a Party official.

On a side note: I laughed for a good five minutes after seeing the pictures. :rofl:

Because if it is, I'm probably going to say something mean and contrary just to contradict the majority.

All you have shown is that A Mean Old Man is

1) Against Crime and the Corruption of the Younger Generation
2) In Favour of Property Rights of Individuals
3) Working to Actively Combat Obesity and Promote Health

None of these things seem to be condemnable in the least. I'd suggest a commendation, but it seems I'd be a bit slow in that respect.
Do not presume to know my mind. If I haven't specifically said I believe something, don't assume that I do.

Maltropia opposes this resolution on the grounds that "curmudgeon" is misspelled, and remains in the singular in the Operative Clause where it should be in the plural. We also disapprove of the "z" in "traumatize", but will not vote against the Resolution over that particular letter.

I didn't start it - or indeed, realize that this was an old thread - but it seemed particularly timely, given discussion in the other thread.

Postby Balaerica » Tue Dec 06, 2011 4:28 pm

I totally support this resolution. AMOM must meet human rights requirements if it wishes to dominate the international scene.

I would focus on more than just children; disappearance, civil and political rights, cruel and unusual punishment, etc.

The grounds for this condemnation seem too lightweight for me. By this token thousands of nations in NS would deserve a condemn badge.

Against.

A player can be both commended and condemned at the same time; certain people have had both condemnations and commendations simultaneously .

Just for the heck of it, I'm gonna say "for", even though I don't see any real punishment or reward when you're codemned or commanded.
The Malvine Islands are controlled and run by The Federated Republic of Ruridova and are officially a Ruridovan Overseas Territory. Any acts of violence against the Malvines will be taken as an act of war against Ruridova.
