Repeal "Commend The Quote Of The Day"

[Gulliver]

Category: Repeal
Resolution: SC#45
Proposed by: [nation]Skyrim Diplomacy[/nation]

WA Security Council Resolution #45: Commend The Quote Of The Day shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: The Security Council,

RECOGNIZING that The Quote of the Day (TQOTD) failed to deliver the "quotes of wisdom" in the days leading to the fall of the nation,

POINTING OUT that many nations participate in the same activities described in the minimal commendation of The Quote of the Day, including traveling to regions and leaving quotes of wisdom and congratulations, and that The Quote of the Day is only one of multiple nations that leave such greetings for regions,

ACKNOWLEDGING that TQOTD wrote very minimalistic greetings, and that many messages left by TQOTD contained the same, copied content with a minor salutation,

DISTURBED by the cherry-picking policies employed by TQOTD and the refusal to visit regions that did not agree with TQOTD's policy, and that the original Commendation in question blatantly lies about this point,

NOTING that The Quote of the Day does not perform any unique or special world-changing activities, nor do the actions of The Quote of the Day affect the world or the World Assembly at large,

FURTHER NOTING that TQOTD no longer exists as a nation, and wishing to remove a Commendation from a nation that no longer exists in order to prune the halls of the Security Council,

WISHING TO, instead, pave the way for a future Commendation of the The Featured Region Followers as a whole and refrain from Commending individual members of the aforementioned region,

HEREBY REPEALS Commend The Quote of the Day.

This is now at a vote.

I am against this. 1: a nation ceasing to exist is not a reason to repeal a commendation of their past work

2: in relation to the part under the "disturbed" heading, the region that the quote of the day did not visit was Nazi Europe. Frankly i don't give a crap about Nazi's i would prefer that those regions are ignored.

3: a commendation is not only award to nations who change the world as this resolution insinuates. The Quote of the Day spread good will throughout nationstates, and I think this is deserving of retaining its orginal commendation

4: this is repealing for the sake of repealing. Instead of finding something productive to make a proposal on, I KNOW lets find something we can repeal for shits and giggles.

Yeah you don't repeal Lenin's statues from Poland because he ceased to exist...oh wait...

[McMasterdonia]

What a silly comment.

This is a commendation. The correct parallel to make would be to say "you don't take away a nobel peace price from someone when they die.

Its effectively what this is doing IMHO.

[Delfos]

It's politics. I'm against commending.
