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

FOR

this makes me laugh all the time, 1st the pass it, now they repeal it, don't pass it the 1st time for god sake, this is stupid, NO TO REPEALS!!!
-
It was a stupid proposal in the first place.
-
stupid but it passed, what's stupid if that the majority passes it and i hope not again a majority repealing it, if people didn't like it why voting for? It's not even logical.
-
I don't know... maybe they didn't realize that the resolution they passed was totally illegal (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=420465)?
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.
-
not realizing before is incompetence, negligence and ignorance all together.
-
yep but that is why i vote.....
FOR!
-
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.
-
FOR of course
-
Definitely FOR!
-
not realizing before is incompetence, negligence and ignorance all together.
Umm ... yeeeees ... and how is this an argument against repeal?
-
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.
-
AGAINST. No doubt about it.
-
hmm did you read about it being against the rules jack ass?
-
Yes, I did, my respected fellow citizen. Then, as said above, it should never have been able to make its way that far. From my viewpoint, if it is illegal it should not be given the possibility of its survival, as it is the case. Therefore, I assume that the resolution for its repeal has nothing to do with its legality: besides, there is no word in it about that issue. And if I am asked to give my opinion, I give it; that's all.
No need to worry: it is obvious that the Delegate vote won't change, and that is fine for everyone in a democracy. But democracies also imply that each and every vote counts.
-
It passed.
