Inaccurate, the Court ruling also said that Sect. 7.1 did not conflict with Article 2 of the Bill of Rights. Which implies that the Freedom of Speech is not taken as including symbolic speech -- my suspicions that this was the case was confirmed when you and your fellow Honorable Justices hinted...

*coughs* You know most of the Bill of Rights' clauses have not been used in the Courts much at all, right? The Bill of Rights exists because we ought to have protection of these rights, not because in practice we need them often. Ignoring this issue out of legislative laziness is not the correct...

Actually it doesn't make any sense, common or not, at all. At the moment our Freedom of Speech is totally undermined and not anything as a definition like we thought it meant. The Court has chosen to adopted a literal interpretation of Freedom of Speech, which is unusual for any Court to do so...

BW scored "14,1". Interestingly, McMasterdonia is recorded as 4.5 regionalist, compared to Romanoffia's 3 regionalist. Thus McMasterdonia is the one with the more coherently regionalist principle system according to the Gameplay Alignment Test and I think you can see this in practice...

Cormac wanted suggestions, I was providing him with an example of Freedom of Expression in RL.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights writes: "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers."

Could the Court please consider whether Article 1 of the Bill of Rights conflicts with Sct. 7.1.4., in the context of National Flags? If yes: 1) Is this because Nations have the sovereign freedom to determine their own National Flag? 2) Does this right to self-determination apply also to...

Your vote was a major anomaly though, the two voters for Romanoffia made little to know sense (he picked up two Cosmopolitan raiders). My explanation is: Romanoffia's actual ideological score has nothing to do with what he preaches depending upon the time of day -- at least there's enough...

If I were to predict an Election, it would be by making an electoral ideological map, then giving seats to the more experienced TNPer within a certain spread of probability. In cases where candidates are ideologically very similar and both of an equal level of experience and leadership...

I think as a candidate you are perhaps a little too overenthusiastic about how much your qualities had to determining your success; your leader perception certainly helped you greatly in challenging Kingborough but it's not so clear that gave you an edge against Tim (who had a lot of experience...

I would like to posit a different hypothesis, that far-ideological voters are just as willing to compromise and in fact did so, far-right voters were often likely to choose Mcmasterdonia over Blue Wolf. You could argue this is because the far-left is less likely to compromise R/D values. On...

My error must be more basic than that, I think. I was under the impression when I designed my excel tables that ?X2 +Y2 = ?X2 + ?Y2, obviously it does not work like this. My formula was D = sqrt((u-v)2) + sqrt((x-y)2) I'll just recalculate the data, then. No sense in having junk facts. :P A...

I mentioned "personality and leadership of the candidates" quite a bit. For King to have another go at it, he'd need be able to pump up his leadership credentials but also poke holes in Mcmasterdonia's current base support using ideological differences -- namely issues that divide King from...

2012 November Special Election : Analysis How much does ideology factor into voting behavior? Introduction At the end of the 2012 November Special Election, I sought out to do a unique analysis using data generated from the Gameplay Alignment Test as well as publicly available voter behavior...

Cool, sounds fine by me.

That was not an exercise of Freedom of Expression, that was an exercise of the FRA Administration requiring rangers to fly the FRA Flag during missions.

So you're saying that our Right to Freedom of Speech is not synonymous with the Freedom of Expression? Bearing in mind, we cannot speak.. this is a text based game, that makes the Freedom of Speech utterly useless. However, if this is indeed the ruling of the Court... That the Freedom of...

Sct. 2. I report myself on the basis that I supposedly broke the law on the basis of the Legal Code, I wish to defend myself on the basis that I am in fact, not in violation of the laws of The North Pacific. It is called civil disobedience. Were you or were you not elected on a mandate to...

The Legal Code is -quite- clear, the Bill of Rights however is also -quite- clear -- and they conflict, your Honour. When the Legal Code and the Bill of Rights conflict, the winner of this contest ought to be the Bill of Rights. You never explained your reasoning behind the lack of conflict, nor...

Okay, so let's say I say, "Wrong, utterly wrong. Nay!" Or, "Absolutely. Aye!" Would this be a permissible expression or do you want to impose a stricter order.

I see absolutely no time wasted on an important issue of civil rights. You and the other justices recently took the Freedom of Expression, ripped it up, spit it out and then rearranged the remaining pieces of the clause to say: 2. Each Nation's rights to free speech, free press, and the free...

I am unauthorized to post in the Compliant Docket subforum, thus have posted here.

For future reference,

Since it is completely noncontradictory for Blue Wolf to support citizens being able to wear TNP flags on the basis of the Freedom of Expression, but not support people who wish to wear TNP's crest. I have taken it upon myself to shockingly violate the Legal Code on the basis that us lowly...

Erm, let me show you why it is a roundabout. See here: http://www.nationstates.net/nation=unibot_iii

An excellent ruling.
