Repeal "Max Barry Day"

A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution
 
Category: Repeal
   
Resolution: #223
   
Proposed by: Omigodtheykilledkenny

Description: UN Resolution #223: Max Barry Day (Category: Education and Creativity; Area of Effect: Educational) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: These here fine United Nations,

Commending Resolution #223's laudable purpose, to recognize truly great men and their achievements;

Duly congratulating this resolution's intended honoree on his many titles from coed beauty pageants throughout the NS world;

Expressing its concern, however, that this resolution breaches the reasonable limits to which this body has traditionally held itself;

Chagrined that amidst the many serious problems the world faces today, including war, terrorism, poverty, oppression, corruption, pestilence, disease, famine, malnourishment, starvation, taxes, illiteracy, substandard education, substandard sex education, imperial measurements, necrophilia, space junk, nations not labeling chemicals correctly, shortages of computers for schoolchildren, invisible tree people, shortages of computers for invisible tree schoolchildren, rampant ecclesiastical self-defenestration, and reluctance to eradicate the Arctocephalinae, the United Nations would actually pass a resolution declaring an international holiday for some dude who started a Website suggests that this institution's priorities are somewhat out of whack;

Randomly kicking ambassadors in the nuts for even thinking this proposal was a good idea,

Hereby repeals Resolution #223: Max Barry Day.

Voting Ends: Sun Oct 21 2007

It was a stupid proposal in the first place.

I don't know... maybe they didn't realize that the resolution they passed was totally illegal?

Real World Violations

George Bush, Hamas, France, The Michigan Compiled Laws (Annotated), and Smith & Wesson do not exist in the NationStates world. Don't bring them up in Proposals. This includes references to real world documents, movies, and books. This is really easy to grasp and is a "bright line" violation. A Proposal that is wonderfully written, but mentions "the Great Wall of China" will be deleted.

MetaGaming

Essentially, a MetaGaming violation is one that breaks "the fourth wall", ...

Also, the UN gets to correct the mistakes they make; that's why we have repeals.

On the basis that I voted, according to your wishes, against the original proposal, I have voted FOR the repeal.

However, that vote can easily be changed if this thread comes to a different consensus.

it's not, it's against incompetent, negligent and ignorant people that voted yes 1st and voting again in repeal. If it's illegal it should have never passed.
