Senate Protest and Analysis Thread

[Swedish Rainbow Capitalist Cheese]

I would like to bring attention to the fact that Marokai's introduced Protection of Public Health Act, as well as the Bow Chicka Bow Wow Act (Although I like that name) are regional matters that should not be addressed by the federal senate.

As a citizen who cares a great deal about our regions' rights, I see this as a huge wrong on the part of Senator Marokai Blue. I hope that others that care about regional rights will agree with me on this issue. This should be left to the regions.

It doesn't matter in the slightest. The former is a matter of public health and as such is most certainly in the jurisdiction of the federal government, and the latter is simply a matter of coming to terms with the reality of our modern society and growing up.

Unless you have a reason why this is harmful it's all "regional rights" nonsense just for the sake of it.

Don't get me wrong Marokai. I have nothing against the bills themselves. I was a strong advocate for the Mideast's Public Smoking Ban and was an important part of passing that legislation, and when the subject was brought up by Peter in a private conversation, I stated I wouldn't oppose a bill lowering the purchase age of pron to 14, as I do not believe it's the goverments job to regulate that.

However this is still regional matters. If you want to introduce them in the Pacific I will be behind you to 100 %, but it's not the Senate's area to force this on the regions.

I happen to be a member of an Assembly who's job it is to work with this issues. We were elected to handle this, you were elected to handle national problems. I do not believe teens watching porn or not, is one of those national problems.

Oh C'mon Marokai. That's bulb hockey. That isn't true in real life, nor is it in Atlasia.

In real life if it weren't for State rights, there'd currently be zero states with legalized same-sex marriage, there'd be no gun control what so ever in states like New York, and a lot of other things that you like would not be exsisting in America if it weren't for state rights.

Same with Atlasia. If the conservatives ever outgrow the liberals here, and they start to introduce conservative proposals for the entire country that you disagree with, I am sure you won't think Regional rights serve only to interfere with good governing.

The main reason I am so strongly opposed to this is that I am as I stated a member of an Asembly who works with these questions. Therefore I'd be very sorry to see them taken away from us and the citizens in the Mideast, to be decided by you. You often say you do not oppose regions as some of the JCP does, but if all issues are federal issues and there are no regional issues, why do we bother having Governors, Assemblies, and regional initiatives at all?

You know my problem with this is that by introducing the Abortion Ban Bill, and making this a national issue, you give the left the authority to introduce federal pro-choice bills as well. So by opening this door we might very well end up with a national bill forcing Regions to allow second trimester abortion, rather than one banning it. Which I think would be tragic.

As I've said before, we should keep the regional issues regional, and HappyWarrior makes a good point that you can't pick and choose when to be pro-regions and when not to be.

Wow, 14 year olds in porn.  That is a tad creepy, although maybe not illegal.

Not only in porn. Considering prostitution is legal in Atlasia this bill would mean we'd have fourteen-year-olds selling sex.

Obviously this bill is taking things a bit too far

I'm asuming this is to make a political statement, kind of like when Anthony Weiner proposed we get rid of Medicare to prove Goverment run Healthcare isn't all that bad.
