Why are you against this repeal? I know you said that you're against anything that has "kawaii", but there is no mention of this. :blink:

Still, it's not exactly a valid reason to vote against a resolution. If you say, "They deserve it," or, "They are invaders," we understand why you're against it. But saying you're against something just because they have something that is not relevant to the topic is illogical.

Are you all seriously suggesting that I should rethink my opposition because a few of you cannot accept a vote?

The Lemmingtopian positions stands.

"The target of this repeal is a sad excuse for a condemnation, Ambassador. It doesn't help that the author failed to draft it."

How exactly has Canterlot not been fair for developing countries? All they did was tag-raid small regions, which doesn't affect the nations' status as a whole.

I do not object to your point of view on the Resolution, I half share it. Nor do I condemn attempts to reverse Resolutions which could be mistaken, nor do I fail to understand how support is garnered for Resolutions.

What I oppose is proposing such repeals instantly, without time for everyone to cool down, reflect and give other matters on the floor a chance at being voted on.

That being said, I congratulate you on getting the repeal passed :)

We had four days of voting to "reflect" on the resolution. That was enough.

I wouldn't say that it was too much time, but many other voters and I certainly didn't need that much time. I simply had to look at the resolution's thread and see that the author did not draft the resolution to make my decision.
