Thus making the proposal entirely unnecessary.

Of course it is a problem. Refusing to answer them means that either the author has no response to them or ignoring them because the answers do not support their argument for this proposal.
And the refusal to explain why nations should be forced to open their markets is suspect.
I have answered all of the points I have seen.
The answer as to why nations that don't want to must open their markets is simple: we must acknowledge that if they don't want their markets open up they will fall behind. This falling back in economics is rather concerning as this will lead to many people being in poverty and many people needing more help from their government. This proposal will allow governments to raise more money allowing them to do good more good for their people. We are forcing nations to do something that is good for them. Yes, I do no y'all continue to note that countries may manipulate other economies and this is a legitimate concern, however, we are allowing nations a lot of freedom in determining their regulations and as long citizens can get on the exchanges, nations may feel free to institute limits to what foreigners can do including what percentage of a company's stocks they can own. Regulate how you want, but know by opening your markets you will be able to do more good.

Since you're mocking that, you're saying that all nations always do as mandated by resolutions? That runs counter your previous claims when you were trying to get that metagaming resolution of yours passed:Imperium Anglorum wrote:I agree with Auralia's position on the topic of mandatory compliance in a role-play setting.

And freeing up stock exchange for foreigners will do that exactly how?

This doesn't address anything which I raised.
Why is it the case that the inevitability argument does not also apply to this proposal? You haven't done any work to substantiate the use of the inevitability argument.
You don't have a link between this to the argument made.
...^this?Imperium Anglorum wrote:Every reasonable nation has already done so and the unreasonable ones would not listen anyway!
The nuance has flown over your head.
My argument isn't about the proposal.
It is about the fact that your argument is invalid, faultily premised, and bad for discourse in the GA

Though 2.b. might want an addition of adding breakers of international laws on the list of banned peeps. I'm sure you don't want to allow terrorist funders and war criminals to be allowed on the financing market. Unless the subclause's current language already does that, I'll leave that for others to decide (so don't edit it yet).

(1) Minor duplication has always been permissible. (2) Even if it duplicates, this wouldn't apply to that, because that affects member nations, without touching on relevant implications with an international stock exchange, since there was no such exchange at the time.

Oh goddess no - I wasn't suggesting there was duplication. I was just suggesting that the proposal wouldn't need editing to specifically bar people funding terrorism or the like, because funding terrorism is already a crime so the clause that allows people to forbid criminals from trading should cover terrorism since terrorism is already covered as a crime.....
I swear that made more sense in my head.
