    Responsible Arms Trading

    I typically don't use hereby, but can add it if you guys would prefer. Clause 5 is actually meant to be a broad blocker on the entire gun control category. It is supposed to be as broad as possible without violating the blocker rule. While it is possible, if not likely, that a lot of weapons...

    At Vote:[GA] Repeal "Rights and Duties of WA States" [Complete]

    Emphasis mine. That is a silly argument. GAR#2 actually has no impact on the game currently. It is merely a codification of the current rule set. Its existence with the current rule set in place is largely symbolic. Appealing to its longevity is not really a compelling reason to keep it on the...

    IN QUEUE: Repeal "Reproductive Freedoms" [Complete]

    That's correct, although I'm not sure how that's particularly relevant. That replacement is meant to guarantee access to reproductive rights while permitting the WA to act on sex selective abortion separately. They're separate issues and addressing them in one resolution wouldn't be feasible...

    IN QUEUE: Repeal "Reproductive Freedoms" [Complete]

    That was an obvious typo and you know what I meant. It should read "right wing, pro-life conspiracy."

    IN QUEUE: Repeal "Reproductive Freedoms" [Complete]

    To clarify, in case there were any doubts, this repeal is not some right-wing pro-life conspiracy. It's not really a secret that both personally and IC, I'm very pro-choice and I do not support a WA that fails to recognize reproductive rights. The arguments proposed reflect my sincere concerns...

    [GA] At Vote: Repeal: Responsible Arms Trading [Complete]

    I know me making my case is essentially irrelevant at this point, considering the margin that the repeal is passing with, but the repeal itself is a remarkable, almost unprecedented, piece of trash. Literally every single argument is incorrect. If you dislike the concept behind the original...

    [GA] Responsible Arms Trading [Complete]

    I wasn't suggesting you were an idiot, and I apologize if you feel that I somehow conveyed that. I was just genuinely confused. It's just that resolutions dictating domestic gun policies are so wildly unpopular that even without a blocker, I can't imagine one would ever pass. As SP noted, the...

    WA 101: Lesson One

    There would be no statistical impact on your nation. From an IC perspective, you'd still be required to comply with all active resolutions.

    Recommendation drafting: Repeal "Reproductive Freedoms"

    Sorry for being late. I absolutely think this must be passed. As a pro-choice liberal who generally leans IntFed, even I recognize that GAR#286 covers an issue that is not of international scope. Furthermore, the resolution is so partisan in nature that it prevents, from an IC perspective, many...

    Recommendation drafting: Individual Working Freedoms

    I'm so sorry I didn't write anything up for this, I completely missed that this was even coming up to vote. Either way, my recommendation would have been very similar to yours, so I'm not too upset. Sorry for the negligence, won't happen again! :blush:

    To be perfectly honest, I do wonder why Bears chose someone who is disliked by two of the other signatories, but I wouldn't worry about Gruen being anything short of completely professional.

    It is Gruen! We appointed him ambassador. You've got some pretty impressive fortunetelling skills, McMasterdonia. :D

    Recommendation drafting: Fertile Farmland Protection

    The GHR that was filed is wrong, so this will very likely go to vote. Here's my recommendation: It's a shame this resolution didn't spend more time cooking because its goal is actually something that most reasonable nations can support. At its core, this resolution seeks to address sustainable...

    WA advertising

    To be perfectly fair, DSR would make a very good ambassador. He's probably the most influential and prolific author in the combined history of the WA and the NSUN, besides Powerhungry Chipmunks, and he's generally very pleasant, but he can be sort of confrontational. Plus, if Mouse really is...

    Yes, I'm sorry the IDU is taking so long. I was also under the assumption that Sanc had already ratified the treaty, but it seems that Bears Armed is putting it up for a one week formal vote. I'm going to try to convince him to expedite the process, because I doubt a week is necessary. It's also...

    Recommendation Drafting: Ban on Leaded Fuel

    Sorry for posting so late, I haven't had a lot of time to sit down and write this these past few days. Better late than never, though! This resolution, despite the complicated language, is actually very sensible. As always, we first must look at the issue and whether or not it deserves...

    Recommendation Drafting: On Hydraulic Fracturing

    This makes absolutely no grammatical sense: "The World Assembly, defines, noting, believing, thus seeking, the General Assembly hereby declares," is not proper English. Resolutions are meant to be one very long sentence. Should an author choose to use a less accepted style, then they should at...
