[SILLY] GA Joke Proposals Only

[Kryozerkia]

It would be unfair to place a moratorium on joke proposals, however, the threads are cluttering the first page. As a compromise, we have a mega-thread. Not to be confused with Silly and/or Illegal GA Proposals. zOMG!, this is reserved for ambassadors to let off steam in the form of parody proposals.

Joke proposals such as:
[JOKE]A Ban on Bad Things
[JOKE] Apocalypse Preparation Act
[Joke] On Crimethink

can all be posted here.

Have fun!

ADDENDUM -- This thread is strictly for General Assembly joke proposals. If you've got a Security Council joke proposal, it can be posted over in the SC forum in its own thread. This mega-thread is strictly for the General Assembly joke proposals.

Should I ask to have my joke OP merged into this thread?

[Kryozerkia]

Should I ask to have my joke OP merged into this thread?

Sure. I'll see what I can do.

[Araraukar]

Thank you, Kryo.

EDIT: Now the first post of thread isn't your explanatory post.
2nd EDIT: And now it is. You're intentionally trying to confuse my tired brain, own up.

[Kryozerkia]

Thank you, Kryo.

EDIT: Now the first post of thread isn't your explanatory post.

I realized that. I fixed it. To fulfill the prior request, I sent a copy of the text to Slafstopia so they can post the content of their locked thread.

[Slafstopia]

Greetings, ambassadors. This is my first attempt at writing a GA proposal, so it seems fitting it would be a joke. I have nothing valuable to contribute.
After the International Peacekeeping draft, I felt the need to make fun of it. Then it evolved into this.

No. We'll merge if need be, but sticky threads are about stuff that's relevant to the GA. This isn't.

Ban Opposite-Sex "Marriage"
A resolution to restrict civil rights in the interest of moral decency
Category: Moral Decency | Strength: Medium | Proposed by: Oneracon

The Nations of the World Assembled,

NOTING the recently renewed controversy over the definition of marriage in international law that occurs around this time every year;

WISHING to settle this contentious debate once and for all;

RECOGNIZING relationships between couples of the same sex as being of higher quality due to being based solely on love and not instinct to reproduce;

NONETHELESS EXPECTING member states to assure appropriate rights for opposite-sex couples to ensure optimal breeding and population maintenance;

HEREBY enact the following:

1. Marriage, for the purposes of international law and the law of World Assembly member states, shall be defined as the union of two persons of the same sex to the exclusion of all others.
2. No member state shall give identical or greater rights than marriage, or equivalent domestic relationship between same-sex couples, to a couple consisting of two persons of the opposite sex.
   1. For greater clarification: the right to refer to a union as a marriage shall not be given to any other form of union besides that which is described in this resolution.
3. No member state shall allow opposite-sex couples to enter into marriage and all such marriages currently existing within World Assembly jurisdiction are hereby annulled.
4. No member state shall recognize a marriage of an opposite-sex couple that was performed outside of World Assembly jurisdiction.
5. Nothing in this resolution shall prevent member states or their sub-national jurisdictions from offering a marriage-like alternative to opposite-sex couples such as "civil union" or "domestic partnership" within their laws if they so choose, provided they do not counteract Section 2.

Delegate Phillip Webber of Oneracon rose to address the chamber.

"My fellow delegates, people of the world, and our honoured shadowy puppet-masters... I stand here today to present the early stages of a replacement for the Freedom of Marriage Act in the event it is repealed." He paused.

"We all understand that while the intent of FOMA was good, the point was made during a repeal debate that same-sex couples can't have children. This got us thinking over at the secret gay propaganda and child recruitment cabal (which meet in Room 35043A a few floors up, for those of you who aren't aware) and we realized something. Why should this most hallowed assembly be encouraging unions between man and woman? Why should we be encouraging a relationship that is based entirely on the urge to reproduce?"

"As a family man myself, I can tell you that I am indeed concerned about the children of the world. What sort of lessons must a child be learning in a family based solely on its founders' biological urge for sex? This resolution will show that the World Assembly wants children to be raised in families based on love and not primal urges, and I urge the nations of the world to support the Kingdom of Oneracon in this endeavour!"

Checking his notes, he added "We already know of several nations who are planning to support repeals of FOMA, and we thank them for their support."

Yes, this is just a joke proposal. Blah blah blah heterophobia blah blah, etc.

Haha, you beat me to it. I had mentioned a ban on opposite-sex marriage in the current FoMA repeal debate since people seem to assume such a ban already exists. Might as well make it a reality!

ALSO NOTING that if there are more lazy people, you get less $.

SHOWS that bad things are needed to keep people from eating too much bugers.

HIPPOS ARE BIG
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.
Category: Human Rights | Strength: Strong | Proposed By: Architeuthis

Description: WHEREAS the participants of the NationStates forum, while quite noisy, do not accurately represent the vast majority of the NationStates players, and;

WHEREAS hippos are indeed quite large,

I hold this truth to be self-evident...

Inflatable Gandalf Act
A resolution to improve world security by boosting police and military budgets.
Category: International Security | Strength: Strong | Proposed By: Royston--Vasey

Description: The Government of Royston--Vasey has noted a rise in the number of road deaths in all nations in the past 10 years. This is due to the reckless driving of some people who do not stop at crossings. To encourage drivers to stop and so reduce road deaths, the Inflatable Gandalf Act would install 4 inflatable Gandalfs on all road crossings which shout "You shall not pass" at speeding vehicles which refuse to stop at crossings where pedestrians are waiting to cross. Where there are no road crossings, the act would provide the local residents with their very own Inflatable Gandalf to aid safe passage.

[The Akashic Records]

This is pretty good too.

Furthermore, a man was walking down the street the other week, and had he been wearing a hat, he would still be alive today.......
Oh, I see he is. How are you feeling, Mr. Jenkins? I understood you had died of crabs. Never mind. For my next point, just consider: do you have crabs, how do you know and were your genitals the same shape they were when you got up in the morning?

PPU would vote for that, but then a hivemind isn't probably the best judge of an individual's worth.

[Helltank]

An old one I had lying around.

The World Assembly hereby:

RECOGNISES the need to lower crime rates in many nations.

FURTHER RECOGNISES that the most effective way of doing so is to scare potential criminals into not committing crimes at all.

DEFINES "serious crime" as the act of committing a crime that physically injures another, living, human being.

FURTHER DEFINES "very serious crime" as the act of mentally injuring or taking the life of another, living, human being

REQUIRES the passing of a law that any human being who is found guilty of having committed a serious or very serious crime to undergo a punishment, known as "Severe Punishment".

REQUIRES "Severe Punishment" to be split into two categories:"Serious", and "Very Serious". Criminals committing Serious and Very Serious crimes shall be sorted into these two categories, respectively.

REQUIRES countries to execute criminals undergoing Severe Punishment, which includes other punishment. This punishment is defined as below:

(i)For criminals in the "Serious" category, children will be allowed and encouraged to use government-provided permanent markers to mark, in any way, shape or form, the criminal, before execution by guillotine.

(i)For criminals in the "Very Serious" category, citizens of all ages will be allowed and encouraged to use government-provided wooden paddles to beat the criminal to death.

ESTABLISHES a "Severe Punishment World Assembly Council", whose role will be to oversee the Severe Punishment, including sorting, pardons by the president of any nation, funding, purchase and distribution of permanent markers and wooden paddles, inspecting the quality of wooden paddles etc. etc.

ENCOURAGES governments to give out prizes related to Severe Punishment, such as "Most Creative Marking" and "Hardest Single Handed Wooden Paddle Hit".

BELIEVES that public display of Severe Punishment will discourage future criminals from crimes, especially Serious or Very Serious crimes.

I like it because it's so deadpan.

Repeal 'Freedom of Marriage Act'
A resolution to restrict basic human rights because my religion says so
Category: Moral Decency || Strength: Moderate || Proposed by: Bodobol

RECOGNIZING the purpose of GAR #15- 'Freedom of Marriage Act', to allow two consenting adults the right to marry and be happy together, regardless of their sex,

HOWEVER CONCERNED that, unfortunately, this act also allows icky gay people to get married,

CITING Bobby 6:66 from the Big Book of Bobism, which says that homosexuality is wrong and icky,

OVERLOOKING the fact that I may or may not be a closeted homosexual myself,
