Bill: Vote on and ideas on Bill: Jubilee and Sabath laws

Details

Submitted by[?]: Am Echad, Pays Libre

Status[?]: defeated

Votes: This bill is a resolution. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

Voting deadline: June 2554

Description[?]:

The Year of Jubilee, every 50th year - the "Sabbath of Sabbaths" - when all debts were cancelled, and all property returned to the original owners. On that all small debts (below 5000) would be eliminated, medium (5000 to 20000) reduced by fifty percent, and so on. This will act as a defult Law. Situations decided by the Supreme Court, (or moral court if passes) will be exeptions to the law. All unfiled lawsuits will be cannelled on the Jubilee date.

And Moses commanded them, saying: 'At the end of every seven years, in the set time of the year of release, in the Feast of Tabernacles, when all Beiteynu is come to appear before the LORD thy God in the place which He shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Beiteynu in their hearing. Assemble the people, the men and the women and the little ones, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law; (Deuteronomy 31:10-12)
That means that on that day TV shows must stop or play biblical stories and bible passages so that the bible for Christians and the Torah for Jews can be read and praised

MessageWe believe this, while great to recognize as a Jewish tradition for our pride and nationality, is impractical in the 21st century, and would cause more harm to our economy and legal system than good.

Random fact: There are two countries based on Egypt in the game. Cobura is based on modern Egypt with a retro twist, while Hawu Mumenhes is based on Ancient Egypt with a modernist twist.
