[PASSED] Repeal 'Enabling The Disabled in Academia'

[Thyerata]

I would be for, purely on principle, and when reading it, I found that it touches all my concerns. I would definitely support this resolution.

Ditto. I would add, were it possible, the fact that the target resolution was forced upon us in violation of basic custom and courtesy. Further, I would suggest removing the last clause. Semantically, I don't think it works in this context.

That's why I posted.

Hell, we even have superdelegates piling onto the target's success.

OOC: To be fair, some of them vote as per the internal vote on their offsite forums, rather than their own personal opinions.

Which reflects poorly on the voting members of their region.

[Regele Baular]

The Supreme Dominion of Regele Baular lends its cherished and steadfast support to this repeal. While our august nation treats all of its citizens with respect, and far exceeds any standards set out by the limped hand of the international community, we cannot in good conscience support this kind of tyranny. Imposing a financial burden on member states, including those who already exceed the standards outlined by the original resolution, would be a devastating drain on lesser nations. The fair and just Senate of Regele Baular has already had to cut the popular "Flags for Orphans" annual taxpayer event in order to run the necessary bureaucratic checks that the original proposal requires.

As such, we are for the repeal. As with all things, the fair treatment of citizens is best solved through war, and the armed dissolution of tyranny, rather than through imposed economic changes.

Please update this to submitted.
IC: "This is not a well written proposal (whereas, for example, is grammatically incorrect). It's too [message redacted] hard to understand. Do I give a damn though? No. Just repeal that damn resolution already!"

OoC: Have you noticed that a lot of resolutions are repealed or are nominated for repeal (with quorum) within a few weeks?

[Imperium Anglorum]

This is not a well written proposal (whereas, for example, is grammatically incorrect).

The preamble clauses are used in the same manner as those used in the Statute of Westminster. There is an error. After the word education in the third preamble clause, there should be a colon, not a full stop.

It's too [message redacted] hard to understand.

It really isn't.

Of course they are. The mob is fickle, to quote the character Gracchus from the film Gladiator.

Wait, that line was stuffed in the mouth of a guy they decided to call Gracchus???

Yea, I had a similar reaction on rewatching the show film. Though, I'd say Tiberius was likely sound. Gaius, certainly not so. Baltar gives him a good name.

"'Whereas' is not a good word, it's very annoying and causes confusion, because it's meaning is usually not what it means in casual conversation. As we said before, despite the confusion, we'd love to see that resolution repealed and don't give a damn what's in the repeal. Hell, we'd campaign for you!"

OoC: Not that you would need campaigning, you having your API system.

[Holy Roman Universal Empire]

I agree. Definitely support a repeal.

Madsons: It seems obvious to me that he would be able to smell these oranges. How utterly detestable!

"I love apples. That would evince support. Perhaps directions on brewing a nice hard cider."

"Seconded. Since directions for baking a whole pie from scratch would take up too much space."

OOC: Madsons is still around? No Madsley?

OOC: If Parsons got Madsons to follow him around to the WA, and now he's PM, why would he want him in Number 10? Hell, I'd call it a great victory for the PM, to get old Madsons out of the way.

[Excidium Planetis]

OOC:
You know, it would have been great if instead of the target, Resolution #404 was a Page Not Found error.

And whereas the use of the phrase 'the disabled' dehumanises persons living with disabilities, reducing them to be a problem to be normalised or 'solved' whilst subsuming their identities into a single aspect of their personhood:

Wait, what's the point of this silly part? Fluffy pandering/enticement for certain voting blocs? Or what?

Do note that it's fluffy pandering/enticement that won the original, say, half its votes. I say, if it's fluffy pandering that doesn't destroy meaning, keep it -- not that there's any way not to, considering it's already in queue.
