Details
Submitted by[?]: Slaytanic Wehrmacht
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: April 2127
Description[?]:
| Satan hereby demands: "To exploit the people in this country more easily, we need more power to do it. Suppressing these people is very difficult with all these annoying civil rights and stuff. Thus, as a first step towards total control, we need to take those rights away." The reasons for our articles are as follows: - Article 1: One person upset with us is annoying. Many people upset with us gathered in one place, are very dangerous for us, so, it should be forbidden. - Article 2: How can we have any authority over the people if we aren't allowed to punish them severly for disobedience? - Article 3: A Person without a gun cannot shot politicians. - Article 4: We'd go much further with this article if this strange treaty would allow it. Anyways, you always need to know the people's identity. They shouldn't be allowed to be sneaky and stuff and hide their name. We know they are guilty. - Article 5: We need to know what the people write to each other. They could say bad things about us. - Article 6: See Article 5. |
