What? No discussion? No debate as to what specifically does and does not fall under the definitions? No extreme and/or graphic examples?
 
I'm kind of with GBM on this. I came here thinking that I would have to defend my proposal, but I find two Aye's and one against, with no explanation as to why they are against. No, I'm not complaining, far from it.
 
AYE.



I think this is a good proposal. It's pretty well written and is specific on the guidelines it covers. Seems fair to me.
 
Thank you for voting. The count was 8/1 in favor, so I have voted for the resolution.

Congratulations to Karmicaria! You finally won over this tough crowd. ;)
 
Thank you! I'm glad that I could manage that. I hope that you don't mind if I visit here a little more often.

I like you guys. :tb4:
 
Actually, following some of the posts in this topic, would you (and by you, I mean GBM :D) mind if I occasional contribute to these debates? I no longer have a UN nation in TNP so wouldn't have a vote, but I used to enjoy arguing about these things...
