For. This pretty much touches on all of the concerns about the original mentioned in our IFV.

In theory; but, in reality it doesn't work out that way. It just delays the inevitable, and allows the worst offenders to conduct business as usual, while placing the greatest burden on smaller businesses and individuals - those least responsible for emissions. Relying on corporations to...

Against. Cap and Trade schemes simply attempt to make a commodity of pollution, instead of actually addressing the problem in a realistic manner. They are a grotesque neoliberal solution to humanitarian crisis. It's a stall, designed to generate profit from tragedy during transition, and it...

Against. I said my piece on these on the last one.

I think what's inspired the author of GA#312 is a look beyond the fourth wall, and into the real-world UN. There are some very large and very influential countries who have committed atrocities, used chemical weapons, engaged in illegal warfare, and who have suffered no consequences, stood no...

Yeah, I see that, but road tolls usually apply to wear and tear for roads exclusively. They're usually pretty low. They don't apply to all routes. They'd have to be some pretty enhanced tolls to cover some of those expanded costs: Police, fire, ems, increased carbon emissions, spill cleanup...

Against (El Fiji, we're 0 for 3 The proposal doesn't take into account the marked increases in wear and tear on the infrastructure of a nation through which items may be passing, as a result of this 'free-passage' law. It also doesn't consider the additional costs that may be incurred by the...

For. This sort of legislation affords national populations greater access to an understanding of their rights under law, and will prevent unscrupulous nations from suppressing that information. A more informed populace can also hold their governments to greater accountability if they have a...

I, bowloftoast (THX1138), a Squire (182,523) with 649 endorsements, as of August 31, 2018, hereby apply to join the Security Council. (After consideration, I feel that my application is premature. I hereby withdraw.)

Against. There seems to be an almost willful misinterpretation of the language of the original legislation being used to justify this call for repeal. The author of the above states: "...the target resolution requires nations to prosecute in section 3, but that the target does not also require...

Against. This is another piece of legislation that starts by stating the importance of free speech/free expression, but then includes a grocery list of exceptions. The below section, in particular, is problematic: "Mandates that member states shall extend to legal persons the same rights in...

For Common sense regulations.

For This has been amended enough to support. Agree that the death penalty prevents the State from correcting any errors made in the legal and conviction processes, and, that the death penalty has not proven to be a deterrent to criminal acts.

Against. For pretty much the same reasons as before. 1. "conclusively shown what already makes intuitive sense, that sexual orientation and gender identity are not choices" The author presents opinion as though it were irrefutable science, and, while the scientific community has failed to reach...

Against. Free speech should be as much as unequivocal, with the exception of what restrictions to it fall within established law. There seem to be quite a few limitations listed here that perhaps shouldn't occur: - blatant or explicit pornographic material Why? If the author doesn't like porn...

Vice Delegate: < Pallaith > Would you like to reopen nominations? < No >

Against. The author of this repeal continues to see through the narrowest possible lens when considering his arguments, relying on, and making broad generalizations, based on the actions of the most extreme (ISIS, Taliban) who do, in fact, seek to destroy/eradicate the artefacts of other...

For. The original legislation is a bit of a morass, and probably shouldn't have passed in the first place. Regardless of the context of that moment, that line about feline animals makes a farce of the whole legislation. No way on Earth something that ridiculous should be on the books, as law...

Against This region's history shows nothing but tumult since the founder CTE'd. It's been a revolving door for over a year-and-a-half, and there doesn't seem to be any real sense of loyalty to the region among natives (or former natives). The region 'Boston in Exile' only has five members, and...

For ...provided it's genuinely being repealed for the sake of adding this enhancement. I'm all for more clarity and less advertising.

Against. Unsubstantiated, and even if it's true, hurt feelings are not in the purview of the WA.
