The phrase "Hurr Durr" represents the independent spirit of the people of the Northeast, and our region's values of liberty and justice.

Also um...hurrdurr.

I like the phrase "Hurr Durr" for our slogan - the other regions have demonstrated that we do not have to be 100% serious.

However, I also like our current slogan:

What if we were to change our motto to...

"Fax mentis est incedium gloriae... Hurr Durr"

?

Or we could potentially make it our second motto and have two.

What would be the Latin form of "hurr durr"?

We could have two slogans.  And I prefer "hurr durr" over "herp derp," really.

It's my understanding that Hurr Durr is a retort or phrase Morgan likes to use. (He can probably clarify this,)

I do acknowledge that making this part of our motto is a bit of tomfoolery, but tomfoolery is not unprecedented in Atlasia. The Midwest and Pacific do this, and even the Southeast is now known as "The Imperial Dominion of the South."

I would be opposed to a giant makeover like that, but this, in my opinion, is harmless.

It's more of a retort.  It's used all over the interbutt as a response to when somebody says something retarded.  For example, in a discussion about tagging, someone might say in defense of tagging that "nobody owns the walls," to which someone will reply with "hurr durr" or "herp derp."

I propose an amendment to my bill:

1) The phrase "hurrdurr" is hereby added to the end of the motto of the Northeast.

Well, that was fun, but perhaps we could get down to some (semi)serious business now?

I generally support the measure, though I'm cautious about points 4, 5, and 6.

Hi Bill.  Nice to meet you.

Oh, wait...

This bill is of great personal importance.  The name you all know me by is not legally my name.  As early as the first or second grade, in elementary school, I disliked my legal name.  I first could not get it changed because of my age, and even now that I am no longer a minor, I still cannot get it changed for practical reasons, due to the whole process of getting a name change, which to my knowledge requires court dates and other legal nonsense.

If all I needed to do was fill out a form and drop it off, I could change my name without my father knowing, and actually be happy.

Besides my personal reasons for sponsoring this bill, I believe that everyone should have a name of their own choosing.  The legal system has no right to interfere in any way, unless it causes tangible harm to others.

I believe that this same process outlined in the bill should be applied to marriage, in complete fairness.  The process to change one's name after marriage should not be easier or harder, than simply getting a name change because you feel like it.

Finally, I hope the Assembly will support the final point of this bill.  It has no legal effect -- it is only a resolution by the Assembly.  Women should, of course, be able to take whatever name they want, but too many people take a very traditionalist point of view, that women should even be forced to take their partner's surname.  We should make a simple statement, expressing that women of the Northeast have this right, and that, furthermore, men have the right to take their partner's last name.
