Putting Pillows To Bed
Category: Declaration | Type: Declare
Proposed by: The Wallenburgian World Assembly Offices | Onsite Topic


Startled from its restlessness at the sound of international uproar over pillows and sleep aids,

Determined to tuck in this midnight raucus once and for all,

Snuggling into a final resting position for the supreme comfort of all member states,

The World Assembly hereby declares:



  1. Poorly chosen, placed, or prepared pillows can exacerbate neck pain and long-term injury rather than prevent it. Pillows should not be used for long-term sleep assistance except as advised by a pillow professional.
  2. Long-term use of sleeping pills often builds up tolerance and can interfere with healthy sleep patterns. Furthermore, sleep medication is often unsuitable for pregnant individuals, senior citizens, or individuals with other health conditions. Pillow professionals may offer alternative sleep assistance options.
  3. Pillows are not, in fact, cuboid, but rather come in a variety of fun and engaging shapes. Member states might take great joy in the possibilities offered by round, triangular, pill-shaped, cylindrical, and u-shaped pillows, as well as countless uncommon but nonetheless pleasant geometries such as heart-shaped. Local pillow professionals are best equipped to locate the perfect pillow shape for any given need.
  4. Pillows are not exclusively useful for supporting the head. These devices are capable of a wide array of physically and emotionally fulfilling roles. They can just as easily support the feet, the back, the neck, or—with sufficient surface area—the entire body. Dogs in particular may enjoy burying themselves in a good pillow. Pillows are also excellent for hugging, lounging, travel, and constructing sturdy, multi-level pillow forts as defensive installments amidst the frequent pillow fights which ravage the World Assembly campus.
Note: Only votes from TNP WA nations and NPA personnel will be counted. If you do not meet these requirements, please add (non-WA) or something of that effect to your vote.

  • Vote For if you want the Delegate to vote For the resolution.
  • Vote Against if you want the Delegate to vote Against the resolution.
  • Vote Abstain if you want the Delegate to abstain from voting on this resolution.
  • Vote Present if you are personally abstaining from this vote.

Overview
This proposed declaration concerns pillows and sleep aids, with a detailed discussion of the use of sleeping pills, pillow "professionals", the shapes and sizes of pillows, and the use of pillows with various body parts which we will not repeat here.

Recommendation
We are not going to lie and, to put it bluntly, this proposal should be renamed as "putting this joke to bed". We are getting tired of various proposals related to pillows, which includes one passed General Assembly resolution and several failed ones. There are far more important global issues that keep us up at night but this is instead helping us cure our insomnia. We see Security Council declarations as a tool for serious topics - satire has its place in NationStates given its origins from a satirical novel, but this topic has been overdone and is making us yawn rather than laugh.

For the above reasons, the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs recommends a vote Against the Security Council proposal at vote, "Putting Pillows To Bed".

Abstain

It is silly & cute, but it codifies a term (pillow professional) that it doesn't even define. Then again, the legislation doesn't actually do anything. So, abstain.
 
Against

This joke wasn’t funny when it first showed up and it’s not funny now. Worst of all, this is just riding the coattails of the unfunny joke because people get the reference. I basically don’t have any expectations for the SC at this point but come on, I’m getting just a little tired of these shenanigans.
 
Against. I don't mind satirical declarations (I have a declaration on the WA Strangers Bar pending which is also light hearted as the Strangers Bar itself is satirical roleplay) but we really shouldn't do the same joke twice.
