[quote="Kaboomlandia";p="28732422"][quote="Little Tralfamadore";p="28732337"]This proposal is human-centric. There is a wide variety of races within the GA. Some will be little effected by heavy metals, others actually rely on heavy metals for their lives.[/quote]Quoting Sedgistan back from when I revived this draft:

[quote="Sedgistan";p="28516876"]It's really a matter for voters to decide, not moderators - i.e. there's no legal requirement to cater to non-humans in proposals.[/quote]

Specifically catering to non-human species, or more generally, species that do not exist IRL, would undermine my entire proposal and make it illegal for Optionality, so I didn't do it.[/quote]

I do not know what "irl" means [ooc of course I do]. I do know that there are many lifeforms that heavy metals are a necessity. Will you tell the ambassadors that their countrymen must die, or perhaps never see a child born because heavy metals are a problem for you?

Other species are not effected by heavy metals for good or bad. This law would require huge expenditures with no benefit to them.

There are many laws that the GA has passed that allow for exemptions or makes other paths available to other races. When we talk about laws that take effect upon a citizen coming of age we understand that that age will vary from species to species.

Just because you didn't have to add a simple clause about lifeforms that heavy metals weren't a problem for or who actually needed it doesn't mean you shouldn't have. Simple basic compassion and empathy would have caused you to do so.

We will vote no on this proposal

Well... How do I say this... *Laughs Nervously* so, I thought I was helping the free market by passing this bill and I forgo..Well I didn't forget, I was too tired too, it was 2:00 AM so can you blame me? So I passed it without reading the fine print and I may have kinda sorta maybe brought slavery back. Whoops...

Well, it was 2 in the morning, so I guess you're not entirely at fault. Heh... We all make mistakes, right?
