I am voting against this bill because it gives no specifics on what the program will do; it simply states that police will be taught to 'respect the public.' This seems like something that every police force already has, and I doubt that just making another, elementary program about it would do anything to stop the issue of police brutality. A better solution would be globally-mandated body cameras for law enforcement, or at least a program with well thought-out specifics. As-is, this bill is an expensive and childish way to write off a growing problem.

And, like in many cases, it deals with issues that shouldn´t be dealt with at the international level...

As well, it gives extra funding for "educational sessions", when people can simply spend the smallest amount possible on sessions, use the extra funding for something else, and then, in the case of dictatorships like mine, teach our own version of "respect and responsibility".

And with no form of regulation at all. And it's has nowhere near the right amount of detail. And almost every other problem a lot of GA resolutions have.

Eh, even if it gets passed someone will repeal it in like a week or two.

The Tao can't be perceived.
Smaller than an electron,
it contains uncountable galaxies.

If powerful men and women
could remain centered in the Tao,
all things would be in harmony.
The world would become a paradise.
All people would be at peace,
and the law would be written in their hearts.

When you have names and forms,
know that they are provisional.
When you have institutions,
know where their functions should end.
Knowing when to stop,
you can avoid any danger.

All things end in the Tao
as rivers flow into the sea.

I can't stop this feeling
Deep inside on me
Girl, you just don't realize
What you do to me

When you hold me
In your arms so tight
You let me know
Everything's all right

I'm hooked on a feeling
I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me

Lips as sweet as candy
It's taste is on my mind
Girl, you got me thirsty
For another cup o' wine

Got a bug from you girl
But I don't need no cure
I'll just stay a victim
If I can for sure

All the good love
When we're all alone
Keep it up girl
Yeah, you turn me on

I'm hooked on a feeling
I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me

All the good love
When we're all alone
Keep it up girl
Yeah, you turn me on

I'm hooked on a feeling
I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me

I'm hooked on a feeling
And I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me

I said I'm hooked on a feeling
And I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me
I'm hooked on a feeling

Knowing others is intelligence;
knowing yourself is true wisdom.
Mastering others is strength;
mastering yourself is true power.

If you realize that you have enough,
you are truly rich.
If you stay in the center
and embrace death with your whole heart,
you will endure forever.

This game hit the front page on Imgur a few days back. The vibe of this Region is quite copacetic with the vibe of Imgur, thus increased membership for NS the game and NS the region.

Cheers!

Hi

Tuesday, 12 April, 2016 :: 34

The great Tao flows everywhere.
All things are born from it,
yet it doesn't create them.
It pours itself into its work,
yet it makes no claim.
It nourishes infinite worlds,
yet it doesn't hold on to them.
Since it is merged with all things
and hidden in their hearts,
it can be called humble.
Since all things vanish into it
and it alone endures,
it can be called great.
It isn't aware of its greatness;
thus it is truly great.

The current WA Resolution, Commend Nova Hansa has been posted on our off-site forums at:

http://www.runboard.com/bnationstates.f2.t83798

SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION AT VOTE

Commend Nova Hansa

A resolution to recognize outstanding contribution by a nation or region.

Category: Commendation

Nominee: Nova Hansa

Description: SHOCKED by their resilience to outside threats.

AMAZED by their ability to lead regions, revolutions, and movements.

THANKFUL that they rebelled against a tyrannous leader.

HAPPY that they are with us and the rest of NationStates.

HEREBY commends The Imperium of Nova Hansa for their great work.

**********************************

COMMEND / CONDEMN PROPOSALS:
These Condemn & Commend Resolutions are mostly a popularity contest and a waste of the World Assembly’s time. It is not the Business of the World Assembly to Honour Nations. The WA is not a Beauty Contest. We would ignore these Resolutions were it not for the ridiculous precedent these Resolutions present.

As such, Mikeswill voted against the World Assembly Resolution "Commend Nova Hansa".
