Silly and/or Illegal GA Proposals. zOMG!

[Bears Armed]

The argument is essentially new members didn't vote on it, so we should repeal it.

Changing demographics is totally a valid reason to attempt repeal. Maybe just not a central one

And maybe not when it's still less than a week since the resolution was passed, neither...

GENERAL ASSEMBLY PROPOSAL
ID: stapland_1422116350

Repeal "Disabled Voters Act"
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.


Category: Repeal

Resolution: GA#310

Proposed by: Stapland

Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #310: Disabled Voters Act (Category: Furtherment of Democracy; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: New members of the Delegate should join in on deciding this very important act.

Approvals: 1 (Tutukerala)

Status: Lacking Support (requires 74 more approvals)

Voting Ends: in 2 days 15 hours

I believe members of the World Assembly did join in on deciding, otherwise the resolution wouldn't exist. However, I do have to admit a lack of members of 'the Delegate' participated in the discussion.

Repeal "World Assembly Headquarters"
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.

Category: Repeal
Resolution: GA#8
Proposed by: Filibuster

Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #8: World Assembly Headquarters (Category: Political Stability; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: The World Assembly,

REALIZING that the establishment of the World Assembly Office of Building Management (OBM) was a contentious issue and was only passed by a slim majority of self-invested politicians, many of whom have since retired or been removed from office,

BELIEVING that a World Assembly Headquarters (WAH) is an unnecessary physical construct without which the WA would run more efficiently,

UNDERSTANDING that the WAH mainly serves to satisfy the whims of "drunks, stoners, weirdos, military fruitcakes, sex addicts, rejects, dear little kiddies, honest family types" and militant machistas, whose presence in its premises it completely ignores

FEELING that the resources spent in maintaining the WAH would be better utilized elsewhere,

Also NOTING that the OBM, since its founding, is not accountable to any oversight whatsoever,

HEREBY REPEALS GAR #8

Approvals: 0

Status: Lacking Support (requires 76 more approvals)

Voting Ends: in 2 days 21 hours

Includes to the mandatory "this only passed by a slim majority" argument, as well as the mandatory "we should not be beholden to the drunks/stoners/kiddies/machistas crowd" line, but there's some new ones here too: that the WA would run more efficiently without an HQ -- well, where do you expect us to meet? under the freeway overpass with the bums and the trashcan fires?? -- and that the OBM is unaccountable...no more or less unaccountable than any other den of gnomish filth and corruption known as a "WA committee," but still. Also, they've contrived maybe the perfect acronym, which unwittingly describes the repeal argument: WAAAAAAAH!!!!

People with disablites act
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Djf

Description: RECONGIZING that lots of people have disabilities
DEFINES Disability as its the consequence of an impairment that may be physical, cognitive, mental, sensory, emotional, developmental, or some combination of these.
HEREBY creates the PWDAC (People With Disabilities Accessibly Committee) and tasks it with the following duties
A. Ensure that disabled people can enter and get accommodations needed as well as service at all buildings
B. Ensure that the civil rights of the disabled are met(Voting Marriage ETC.
C.Issue disabled Parking passes to all who fit the definition of disability in whatever method they see fit and impose fines on abusers to the amount that they see fit
D.
E. Receive and take action on all complaints on these issues
REQUIRES all WA nation to comply with the PWDAC and findings and to have a least 25% of parking spots per lot be for the disabled
NOTING that these duties may change through other WA Proposals

Approvals: 3 (Courtian, Prandora, The Latin Commonwealth)

Status: Lacking Support (requires 73 more approvals)

Voting Ends: in 2 days 21 hours

Pretty sure this duplicates something. The requirement that nations reserve a quarter of all parking spaces to the handicapped is obscene. And there's no "D."

[The Dark Star Republic]

I know strength violations are usually given a little more leniency, but there's no way that resolution justifies a strength of "Strong".

[Omigodtheykilledkenny]

Pretty sure this duplicates something.

Wait a tic: viewtopic.php?p=17791610#p17791610

I always assumed this had been replaced sometime when I was out last year. Looks like it never was. So the proposal doesn't duplicate after all. Still dumb.

While I agree that the repeal is stupid, is it really illegal? It addresses all of the points of WAH.

[Omigodtheykilledkenny]

I never said it was illegal.

[Chester Pearson]

I never said it was illegal.

Then why did you post it in the Illegal/Silly thread?

[Omigodtheykilledkenny]

Because it's silly.

Maintain Freedom of Religion

A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.


Category: Furtherment of Democracy


Strength: Significant


Proposed by: Pequod

Description: Whereas this body recognizes that freedom of religion in an inviolable human right,

and Furthermore recognizes that freedom of religion applies to the religious organizations themselves and not only to individuals,

and Consenting to Resolution #35: The Charter of Civil Rights (COCR), which was enacted to forbid discrimination by governments and/or public-service providers based on any "reductive categorisation," not just sex or sexual preference,

and Recognizing that WA General Assembly Resolution #15: Repeal "Freedom of Marriage Act" is now redundant law after the passage of the COCR,

this Assembly, nevertheless, preserves its integrity only if it does not ignore the rights of legitimate religious organizations,

and that Among these Rights is the right to abstain from performing same-sex marriages,

this Act shall require that States enact legislation that will define 'religious community or organization' and will not require these groups to sanction or perform same-sex marriages against their community's beliefs.

This Act shall establish that for-profit companies owned by religious individuals do not consist of a religious community or organization,

and further recognizing that theocracies must not deny the civil protections of civil marriage to any citizens regardless of sex,

this Act REVISES the forthcoming GA #15 "Repeal 'Freedom of Marriage' Act, and GUARANTEES the religious organization or community protections into this Assembly's statutes.

Approvals: 0

Status: Lacking Support (requires 76 more approvals)

Voting Ends: in 3 days 1 hour

The Armed Kingdom of Normlpeople has not approved this proposal.

So, duplication of CoCR, attempting to amend.... a bill that hasn't actually passed yet??

Repeal "Suppress International Piracy"
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.


Category: Repeal

Resolution: GA#20

Proposed by: Cyanbeard

Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #20: Suppress International Piracy (Category: International Security; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Avast!

We the hearty mateys of the World Assembly,

The jolly swashbucklers aboard the vessel of international law,

Perturbed by the grief imposed upon the brethren of the open seas,

Bothered about the harsh penalties levied upon those weary souls,

Feeling a touch of sea-sickness at the sight of folk forced to scuttle their scurvy ships,

Also worried about the extreme demands laid upon nations' navies, coast guards and judicial agencies by laws that are too strict,

Appalled at the vast number of honest folk forced to work for corrupt governments as "privateers" in order to continue their trade,

Verily believing that it is now time to signal a shift,

Plotting a passage into yonder patrimonial seas of bounty,

Hereby repeal GAR #20 "Suppress International Piracy"

[The Dark Star Republic]

That's a fantastic proposal.

I kind of want to campaign for it to get it to vote and see if it passes.

Not sure what rule this would violate exactly, probably ideological bans, but the dude also wasn't very smart with his WA membership. He had two separate nations- The Produxian Delegation and Holy Produxia in the WA for 18 minutes- rather significant given that the older of the two is only 20 hours old- and even endorsed himself!Two way!
