What the hell? The omnipotent UN does not recognize any nation's rights I assume. Maybe we should draft a resolution that would allow nations to disregard anything that falls under national sovreignty. Especially resolutions dealing with marriage and business, and basically anything that doesn't affect the international community as well. Echoing Abattoir on this one as well. -explicitive removed- the UN.
Also, I noticed I said I voted to abstain from the resolution. I guess I was too caught up in Lamoni's wording at that point... I actually voted AGAINST the current resolution for reasons mentioned previously in this post.

As much as I support same-sex marriage, I would have abstained from this proposal if I were in that cesspool of corruption that is the United Nations. This proposal is a major affront to national soverignty. That's why I neither support or oppose it. |

Delegate votes no as per regional opinion. (If both abstain and either yes or no are tied for votes, i'll generally go with the yes or no. Saves time and misunderstandings.) |
