TurtleShroom wrote:Ambassador, in sheer pity, I propose to you a strongly edited version of your Resolution. Though we are not WA members, we strongly expect you to list the Holy Republic of TurtleShroom as your co-author.

THE WORLD ASSEMBLY:

FRUSTRATED at messy sinks, mirrors, and appliances induced by poorly made toothpaste containers,

WORRIED that toothpaste is no longer fun for younglings nor mature adults,

UNDERSTANDING that in order to be more hygenic, one must brush ones teeth,

THINKING that more colorful or flavored toothpaste may encourage better oral hygene,

REALIZING ALSO that colored/flavored toothpaste encourages teeth brushing because it is more appealing,


YET DISTRUBED by the lack of regulation on what can and can not go into toothpaste,

WANTING colorful and flavorful toothpaste but refusing to compromise safety and dental health for consumer appeal,

FEARING that some conmpanies may insert toxic chemicals inserted to save a quick buck,

ALSO FEARING the chemicals used in toothpaste,

NOTING that some manufacturers do not disclose these chemicals and ingrediants,

NOTING that certain chemicals could harm the mouths, bodies, or lives of consumer,

SEEING THIS as risky and discouraging both to health and teeth,


HEREBY:

MANDATES that all toothpaste manufactured in WA territories be made in various colors,

MANDATES that no toxic, harmful, or teeth-damaging chemicals be inserted into toothpaste,

FORCES toothpaste manufacturers to list all ingrediants in their toothpaste,

FORCES toothpaste manufacturers to pass safety standards,

DEMANDS that toothpaste marketed towards children be safe to swallow,

MANDATES that all toothpaste tube caps be connected to the dispenser, so not to have the unscrewed cap lost or forgotton, thereby pre-empting messes,

REQUIRES toothpaste factories to be clean and sanitized to prevent diseases from entering toothpaste by mistake,


INSTATES the Timmy Tooth Board to create and manage these health and appearence standards,

AUTHORIZES the Timmy Tooth Board to send auditors/health inspectors biannually and without prior warning to WA member toothpaste manufacturers to check and maintain these health and appearence standards,

PERMITS the Timmy Tooth Board to use reasonable fines, never amounting more than seven hundred thousand of the member nation's currency, to convince the manufacturer to maintain these standards,

SPECIFICALLY FORBIDS the Timmy Tooth Board from seizing control or ownership of any WA member's toothpaste corporations, splitting up the companies, and from shutting down the same without expressed consent and assitance of the member states,

EMPOWERING the law enforcement, inspectors, and regulators of each WA member state to enforce these standards in conjunction with and upon the reccomendation of the Timmy Tooth Board on toothpaste corporations as they both jointly deem necessary,

FORBIDDING excessive or cruel punishments on toothpaste corporations.


This proposal demands a more hygenic and colorful world in dental health, and maintains safety standards to protect the mouths, and quite possibly, and lives of those who brush.

So be it,
THE WORLD ASSEMBLY.



THAT is how you do it.

You have to put it as moral decency or social justice, though. It IS NOT HUMAN RIGHTS.
Quick and dirty guide to factions in Mediterranea, and puppets to serve as examples:
-Free Assembly - decentralized group of local associations. Main faction.
-Workers' Republic - anarcho-syndicalist commune
-República Morsica (Betico)
-Republic of Lusca
-Catholic State (The Archbishop of Siraucsa)

I too, hate the concept of crusty toothpaste.
Leadership does not mean domination. The world is always well supplied with people who wish to rule and dominate others. The true leader is of a different sort: he seeks effective activity, which has a truly beneficent purpose. He inspires others to follow in his wake, and holding aloft the torch of wisdom, leads the way for society to realize its genuinely great aspirations.

There's a reason why we left earth and are not in the WA. Well it's not this proposal in particular but it gives a very good hint. Nontheless we thank the Armed Republic of Eraplevok for reminding us.

Wrong. Most of those have merit and a purpose. Toothpaste =/= CoCR
