Repeal "Condemn The Black Riders"
« on: June 23, 2012, 12:38:35 PM »
Category: Repeal
Resolution: SC#91
Proposed by: [nation]Cowardly Pacifists[/nation]

Quote from: Repeal "Condemn The Black Riders"
Argument: The Security Council:

AWARE that The Black Riders - commonly referred to by their initials, TBR - are a well-known group of raiders;

ALSO AWARE that TBR generally engage in crashing and tagging regions - a practice that involves temporarily seizing a regional delegacy but ultimately returning control of the region to its natives;

CONCERNED that SC #91 uses misleading language to portray TBR as a much greater threat to international security than they truly are;

OBSERVING that the very first line of SC #91 mistakenly accuses TBR of attempting to "invade other nations," something The Black Riders don't actually do;

FURTHER OBSERVING that SC #91 uses charged terms like "cultural genocide," "terrorize," "terror," "complete defacement," and "horrific seize," to describe the actions of TBR, despite the fact that their crashing and tagging practices are relatively mild compared to the practices of other raiding groups;

NOTING that SC #91 suggests that the actions of TBR led to the "undeniable downfall" of the Region of reunited muslim states, even though the RORMS community retains possession of its native region and is undeniably alive and well;

BELIEVING that the aforementioned instances of exaggeration are all calculated to make World Assembly nations think TBR are especially fearsome and villainous;

AFFIRMING that the World Assembly should never express that it is "FEARFUL" of a raiding group within the text of a condemnation;

SUSPECTING that many of the raiding members of TBR actually support SC #91, which they view as a badge of honor rather than an expression of shock and dismay;

RESOLVED that a condemnation should not serve to exalt or glorify a region for their misdeeds;

CONVINCED that if The Black Riders deserve to be condemned, the text of the condemnation should truly and accurately reflect the nature of their wrongdoing;

HEREBY REPEALS SC #91, "Condemn The Black Riders."

I hope there's no problem to post this...

I'd like to point out the name of the person that wrote this, the contradictory argument of subjectivity, "misleading" insinuation and that "their petition says TBR are bad, but TBR aren't that bad". In terms of "Argument" it's an horrible one. And if they want to be so rebel they actually like a Security Council Resolution for their reprehension behavior then why should we repeal it? We're just adding to their ego...

Give me argument otherwise and I might consider another vote.

Frankly I don't care if they take it as a badge of honor. Peace loving WA members will recognize that an SC Condemnation is NOT a good thing. The SC Condemnations are there for a reason, and to avoid using them because raiders strive to get these Condemnations is ridiculous. Raiders will be raiders, and people who think Raiding is a bad thing (which I would judge is much of the NS world) would take this Condemnation as a warning.
Today's date is: Today is Jocidi, 5 Cielidor AR 5 - Day 1770 of the Glorious Revolution.

Many trials make manifest
The stranger's fate, the curses' bane.
Many touchstones try the stranger
Many fall, but one remains.
