UN: Repeal "Max Barry Day"

[repaxan]

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.

Once again, the original resolution stepped outside the bounds of traditional UN work, but it's entirely deserving in this situation.

I vote AGAINST this measure, and I hope we keep Max Barry Day.

It does seem a bit ill-considered. This entire game is an advertising medium for Max Barry. Aren't his increased book sales a big thank you? After all, Max Barry did not start this game out of the goodness of his heart. He started this game to help make himself money. There is nothing wrong with that. However, it is certainly not worthy of an international holiday. I have to agree, that with all the worlds pressing issues, with all the people so worthy of praise, this resolution is insulting, and myopic in its view of the world. Shouldn't we grant holidays for something a bit more important than the profit motive? Maybe we should honor people who are selfless in their dedication to others, and aspire to that in our own lives.

I dissagree, I think because a mistake was made with the moderaters, I believe that we get rid of max barry day!

For. Time we cleaned up after the UN and get rid of a UN Resolution that never should have existed in the first place.

Since I voted FOR the Max Barry Day a couple of weeks ago - there was a Resolution to be voted for, I guess - I leave this one to our Delegate. Whatever he thinks is good, I'm fine with it.
