    [GA - Passed] Promoting Natural Sciences In Schools

    I agree with Tlomz. I'm not sure how enforceable the word "deliberate" is here: can nations "accidentally" introduce false information or doubt? I too think that there needs to be an external committee to set standards. Clause 6 is also questionable, explicitly allowing religious studies to...

    [GA - Draft TBS] Preventing Financial Crises

    Can I get a clarification? A proposal cannot mandate a non-zero number for allocation of government funds, but WA can mandate expenditure on a program without giving a specific number. Does this imply that states are mandated to spend as little or as much to satisfy the obligations of that...

    [GA - At Vote] Repeal: “On Tobacco And Electronic Cigarettes”

    One that focused solely on the word "should". The point on education raised a red flag for a nation concerned about addiction resurgence, and the jab at the word "on" was an unnecessary distraction. As you said, opening the door to considering other 'species' added a complication though mostly...

    [GA - At Vote] Repeal: “On Tobacco And Electronic Cigarettes”

    Thanks for the update, Pallaith. I wasn't aware of the unintentional language allowing optionality in compliance and the GenSec's rulings on these issues. It re-contextualizes my view concerning a well-written repeal, but this isn't one.

    [GA - At Vote] Repeal: “On Tobacco And Electronic Cigarettes”

    This appears to be a hodgepodge of poor reasons that fail to form a cohesive argument for repeal. The author makes a questionable assumption about the species of the populace; as far as I know, it is implied that nations are comprised of humans, and usage of words such as 'persons', 'humans'...

    [GA - Failed] Repeal: “Defending The Rights Of Sexual And Gender Minorities”

    Thanks for your answers! Absolutely, this has significantly advanced LGBTQ+ rights, and I believe it should not be taken for granted that this can be done time and time again. Given the immense difficulty of securing rights for traditionally ostracized groups through popular vote, I believe...

    [GA - Failed] Repeal: “Defending The Rights Of Sexual And Gender Minorities”

    I in no way meant that LGBT+ people would be able to discriminate against anyone. I reread that and realize that it was unclear. Let me rephrase: In this specific scenario, what I am asking is: why is one protected class (religion or belief system) allowed to continue to discriminate against...

    [GA - Failed] Repeal: “Defending The Rights Of Sexual And Gender Minorities”

    Please, let's keep it civil. There's no need to attack Toast. While we may not agree with the consequences of repealing this particular legislation, I feel it is important to discuss how we write resolutions. Clause 5 appears to be the World Assembly (momentarily, hopefully) conceding the right...

    [GA - Failed] Restricting Solitary Confinement

    I too am conflicted. I believe there needs to be some legislation to ban or limit solitary confinement. But the notion of "reasonable" is indeed ripe for abuse. I am also unclear on why those who need to be protected should be subjected to solitary confinement. As of now, I lean Against.
