    [GA - Failed] - Against Racial Discrimination (2nd)

    Did you even read the rest of the paragraph you responded to, which explains how this would not be permitted? If you're arguing that it's too broad, as your original argument seemed to imply, you should be able to give one example of when those acts wouldn't be genocide. If you're arguing that...

    [GA - Failed] - Against Racial Discrimination (2nd)

    Glad people are at least honest at why all the votes are suddenly coming in at the last minute! Edit: Preserving in case it gets removed,

    [GA - Failed] - Against Racial Discrimination (2nd)

    It does not do this. It says that Section 2 "does not prohibit" them, not that they are absolutely unrestricted under Section 2 in all forms. If some company is hiring only, say, white people who speak English for a position where only the latter is an actual necessity, the discrimination...

    [GA - Failed] - Against Racial Discrimination (2nd)

    I was referring less to your post specifically than to the sudden flood of Against votes as soon as the resolution hits vote. I don't understand this point. Taking intelligence into account in such a situation would not violate the resolution ipso facto. However, applying an interpretation of...

    [GA - Failed] - Against Racial Discrimination (2nd)

    Is there a reason all this opposition is suddenly coming up in the last minute, as opposed to before it actually hit vote? I still don't think this is true. An employer could indeed claim that they are discriminating based on intelligence, but that doesn't change the core fact that they are --...

    [GA - Failed] - Against Racial Discrimination (2nd)

    This was not why it was withdrawn; rather that was private comments on the proposal from Coporiana.

    Brief closing and opening remarks (Jan 2024)

    Given that I was appointed despite explicitly declining the position privately, I would like to enter my resignation as Deputy Minister into the public record.

    MoWAA roll call, January 2024

    For the record, I had removed @nvxl from the Ministry towards the end of my service as Minister, due to their failure to respond to a roll call.

    [SC, passed] Commend Quebecshire

    Quebecshire is certainly deserving and this does very well in explaining why. For (non-WA).

    [GA, withdrawn] - Prevention Of Hate Crime

    I literally, also, explicitly addressed the quoted post by IA gameside. Absolute for (non-WA),

    [GA, not in queue] - Against Racial Discrimination

    Kenmoria literally started in the WA Discord that their quoted post was an IC comment made in "poor faith" by their IC Ambassador, and they had no OOC objections to that clause. Absolutely for (non-WA).

    [GA, not in queue] - limit alcohol consumption

    This was the target of the raids. For (non-WA) specifically on the grounds of the quorum raids.

    [GA, Passed] Procedural Rights Of Defendants

    I'm not convinced by the other complaints raised here, and it's always good to see a new author drafting and submitting proposals. For (non-WA).

    [GA, defeated] Repeal: "Convention Against Heinous Crimes"

    Yes, I was referring to the old version. Like the old version, this repeal still makes a number of quite exaggerated, misleading complaints. This is still just a more bloated way of repeating nonsense. That a trial is fair does not mean that requiring said trials to happen is "superfluous"...

    [GA, Illegal] - Repeal: "Convention Against Heinous Crimes"

    Even if you don't like the WA police, we shouldn't encourage this sort of lying and bad faith in a repeal.

    [GA - Passed] Whistleblowing Convention

    People shouldn't be punished for telling an agency something that's wrong in good faith. If the agency doesn't investigate properly and wrongly punishes someone, that's really the agency's fault. It makes absolutely no sense to punish a whistleblower because an agency doesn't properly...

    [GA - Passed] Whistleblowing Convention

    The reason for this is that the proposal is at exactly 5000 characters and it would break the character limit to include a longer preamble :P. Edit: Regrettably, it appears it is only at 4996 characters...however the point still applies.

    [SC, defeated] - Condemn Tinhampton

    The very strange complaints about a "clique" aside (rhetoric I've primarily seen used by anti-GA trolls, such as LWU during the quorum raiding), nobody is claiming that Tinhampton does not write a lot of bad proposals -- I have certainly found myself opposing many of her proposals, for instance...

    [GA, defeated] - repeal "sophisticated investors protocol"

    I don't think this is what the text of the target says, even if the author's intent is indeed this. The resolution says "A competent authority of a member state must define, if desired in writing by the said investor, to be [']sophisticated['] if that investor...". This does not require that...

    [SC, defeated] - Condemn Tinhampton

    For (non-WA). I do not disclaim bias as co-author here, but I'm not seeing a compelling reason that a 36x WA Author should not be C/C'ed.

    [GA, defeated] - repeal "sophisticated investors protocol"

    I would be curious to hear the rationale for the unexplained opposition. While I cannot vote as my WA is not currently in TNP, I find myself increasingly agreeing with every one of these arguments each time I read the target. The target is indeed toothless apart from a singular provision which...
