I am deeply disappointed to see that no effort has been made to get the first letters of each clause to spell out either the proposer's name or a potentially sexual reference. Ditto the title.

Furthermore, the title is not in an obscure foreign language, or even in Elvish.

Though you do have Another Bloody Committee, you have left out the obligatory acronym of questionable origins.

It is also inevitable that "theist" be spelt "thirst" at some point, yet nonetheless you have evit-ed it.

There is not a single pony or anti-pony reference and nothing applied specifically to under-18s (though I applaud the mentions of "6 years" and "two minutes", which will, of course, prove to be the entire life-span of the citizens of certain member nations).

It is sadly lacking in homophones. You could at least have "tenant" instead of "tenet".

Finally, where is the House of Cards reference that I'm sure some more astute player will have suggested ages ago, but did you listen? Nooooo!

Honestly, I shouldn't have to keep telling you guys, (or possibly "you, guys") attention to detail is vital!

I move that the title be "Delphino Vehebar Per Vorticem".

I need to find a decent house of cards violation, though I will implement sexual references and other crap like that.

What does that mean? I plugged it into Google translator and it said it was Italian for something to do with riding dolphins.

Would mounting a giant electronic board displaying the state of 'anti-theism' on the side of the WA HQ building not give you a house of cards violation?

You could have one on top of the numismatics museum for good measure.

It's Latin for "I was riding a dolphin through a whirlpool".

Require all proposals to now include some sort of penalty or hate speech against anti-theists.

Please pick another way to annoy us, or at least change the thread title back. That's just irritating to view in the topic list. Perhaps something that uses phrases from several different languages but still manages to end in a preposition.

I kind of agree here. I had a look at the new title, and I swear I invented a few new expletives just for this purpose.

It does. The first sentence of the proposal is quoted verbatim from Historical Resolution 1.

It's nice to see that my suggested changes have been implemented.

That shouldn't be too hard, just tweak the "REPEALS" clause by removing the word "previous" to make it self-repealing.

Ossitania stands opposed to this insane piece of legislation! We fail to see why poor, innocent hippos, the national animals of the Independent Commonwealth of Ossitania, must be put through the injustice of forced mating with an anti-theist! We have no choice but to express our dissatisfaction in the most emphatic terms possible!

Ambassador, we don't wish to force hippos to procreate with anti-theists; rather, we wish to horrendously torture them to non-existence, if you will.

Well, I put in "Once there was a little man named Bob. Bob, like many other men, was a very happy individual who enjoyed gladiatorial combat."

What it actually means is anyone's guess.

Ah, no wonder. My translator (OOC: Read: Google Translator) was giving me a jumble of words that didn't make much sense.
