UN: Repeal Common Sense Act II

[Jesioneka]

Description: UN Resolution #30: Common Sense Act II (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: UN Resolution #30: Common Sense Act II (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: The United Nations,

REGRETFULLY ACKNOWLEDGING that individuals may be reckless, irresponsible, ignorant and/or foolish, and

SOBERLY MINDFUL of the potential for the waste of time and resources represented by such individuals,

NONETHELESS REMAINS AGOG at the chutzpah exhibited in crafting a resolution that seeks to legislate against stupidity, yet which simultaneously fails to account for the myriad factors involved in personal decision-making, and furthermore

RAILS MOST FURIOUSLY at those who seek to undermine the lofty goals of this institution by assailing it with such egregious trivialities and alarmist pettifoggery, and consequently

RIGHTEOUSLY PURIFIES the UN statute of this most disingenuous resolution by

REPEALING United Nations Resolution #30: Common Sense Act II.

[repaxan]

I vote YES.

[Mandali]

Seems like a very poorly worded resolution, to the point that I can barely understand it. I'll vote with the majority of 10KI on this one.

[The Candy Lane]

I have no clue what the repeal is saying so im hoping Jes does.

[Twobagger]

Big words, little content. I think that this resolution is extremely trivial and the author had to pull out the thesaurus to hide the actual meaning of the resolution.

Voting AGAINST.

For those of you wondering what resolution would be repealed if the current repeal effort passes, here it is:

Far too many civil injustices occur each and every day in courts around the world. Frivolous lawsuits plague innocent homeowners and businessmen, who have done nothing wrong but earn enough money to become a target of an opportunist.

Lawsuits on the basis of idiotic negligence on the part of the victim shall henceforth be dismissed in the courts of UN member nations, as they violate the civil liberties of those being sued.

Idiotic neglegence shall be defined as such:
1:Burning oneself with a hot beverage, such as coffee.
2:Injuring oneself while using a tool in a reckless or improper manner, such as without safety gear or for a purpose the tool is obviously not supposed to do.
3:Consuming a legal product which is either high in fat or damaging to the body, such as fast food or tobacco.
4:Any injury incurred during the commission of a crime, such as cutting yourself on a broken pane of glass while burglarizing a home.

This proposal will lower the tax burden on all citizens, it will make the jobs of Judges and Juries easier, and will help restore a modicum of common sense to the world.

If this changes any of your votes, let me know.

I notice many of you have voted for delegate's wishes this time. Just so you know, I am inclined to vote "yes" -- that is, for the repeal. I don't particularly like the snobby wording used in the repeal, but I think the resolution it's repealing is even more offensive.

[Petalumadom]

I'm definitely against this one...

But it will be hard to beat it now as it's about 3,000 to 1,500 For to against...

[Bad Infinitum]

Nay. Unless the motion is actually repealing something that needs repealed, I will always vote against any "Repeal XXXX" resolution solely on the basis that it takes no creativity at all.

[Jesioneka]

In accordance to the will of the region, I voted yes on this resolution. (The delegate's wishes were "yes" and added to the "yes" total.)
