Northeast Assembly Thread

[tpfkaw]

Why don't you want to protect the children?

Oh.  Ohhhhhhh, I get it now.  He's trying to be funny.

It's not very funny that thousands of people die each year from dihydrogen monoxide poisoning and millions more while under its influence.

[Grumpier Than Thou]

Just chiming in here, I think the Northeast Assembly has more important things to attend to instead of wasting time on a superfluous bill that uses an internet-created veil to ban water. Just my two sense.

Are you kidding?  This bill seeks to fix one of this regions most dire problems.  I expect nothing less than a unanimous affirmative vote.

On that note, I motion to reduce debate time by 12 hours.  Now would be a good time to remember that we still have yet to reconsider our SOAP by the way.  The fact that I can't motion to table this garbage is disturbing.

The gentleman from New York motions to reduce debate time by twelve hours.  This will be a twenty-four hour vote.

There is no vote.  It's a request that can be granted, or not granted by you.

Motion granted.

The next bill coming up is almost as ridiculous.

[tpfkaw]

Motion to amend the bill to also ban dioxygen.

The amendment is unfriendly, naturally.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Debate time has expired.  Members will now cast their votes on passage of the legislation.  This will be a 24-hour vote.

The Dihydrogen Monoxide Ban Act

Recognizing that dihydrogen monoxide is a substance more addictive than heroin, crack cocaine, or crystal meth, and causes severe withdrawal symptoms upon cessation of use, that dihydrogen monoxide is a frequently used "party drug," that well-known athletes have been known to abuse dihydrogen monoxide in order to increase performance, that the vast majority of users of cannabis, cocaine, meth, PCP and other drugs have reported "swigging" as a gateway behavior, that dihydrogen monoxide is often sweetened with sugar and marketed to small children in flavors like "cherry" and "root beer," and that dihydrogen monoxide is often mixed with other narcotics to enhance their effects, dihydrogen monoxide is hereby banned in the Northeast region.  Any stocks found are to be incinerated.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

NAY.

[Cincinnatus]

Nay

Ayesoceles triangle.

Also, we have to vote on my amendment first.

Your amendment was deemed unfriendly by yourself.  As the sponsor, you're able to modify or amend it without a vote from the Assembly.  So no, we don't vote on the amendments.

Where does it say I can't propose an unfriendly amendment to my own bill?

I don't understand why you decided to act like a douchebag right when everyone was starting to like you.

Is there something you're filibustering in particular?

Yes, the tax bill.  I cannot in good conscience allow that to pass, especially given the absurdly high taxes that Northeast citizens already have to pay.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Fine then, vote on the damn amendment.

24 hours.

Nay.

A family emergency came up and I will have to go to the hospital soon, so I can't say how much time I'll have to deal with crap like this today.
