Bill: Liberty, Prosperity, Individuality
Details
Submitted by[?]: Freedom Party
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This bill asks for an amendement to the Constitution. It will require two-thirds of the legislature to vote in favor. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: December 2073
Description[?]:
| A new national motto of "Liberty, Prosperity, Individuality" I think we might be able to get this to pass. Individuality is a noble value. Individuality reflects the fact that people have different ideals, values and experience. That they are allowed to express them and be themselves. We can not say that everyone has to be the same, individuality is saying that everyone is different and therefore we must all be ourselves. |

| Message | SDP: why are you against it? To us, "individuality" is a noble thing, unity in diversity and all that. Whereas "efficiency", while generally a good thing, has more the smack of what capitalists demand of their employees. We've supported this motto change every time. |

| Message | I'm against it because, even though individuality is good to a certain degree, it might encourage egoistic behaviour as in "everyone has to look after themselves" rather than a community in which the community supports the weak. |

| Message | I agree that "efficiency" sounds too capitalist, but I feel we shouldn't replace it with "individuality". I'd rather have something along the lines of "Equality", "Justice", or "Brotherhood". |
| Date | 22:05:00, June 27, 2005 CET | From | New Party | To | Debating the Liberty, Prosperity, Individuality |
| Message | We would support this change. |
| Date | 22:14:03, June 27, 2005 CET | From | Freedom Party | To | Debating the Liberty, Prosperity, Individuality |
| Message | No way equality, justice is also socialist sounding and brotherhood as well. Indiviuality goes across all spectrums with only opposition ideologically from communists |
| Date | 22:55:05, June 27, 2005 CET | From | Humanist Socialist Party | To | Debating the Liberty, Prosperity, Individuality |
| Message | Huh. I guess I don't associate the word "individuality" with egoism. As I say, to me it just celebrates the fact that we're all different in various interesting ways. We'd support Equality, Justice or Brotherhood as well, but something tells us they ain't gonna get through. |
