Repeal "Suppress International Piracy"
Proposed by Cyanbeard
Avast!

We the hearty mateys of the World Assembly,

The jolly swashbucklers aboard the vessel of international law,

Perturbed by the grief imposed upon the brethren of the open seas,

Bothered about the harsh penalties levied upon those weary souls,

Feeling a touch of sea-sickness at the sight of folk forced to scuttle their scurvy ships,

Also worried about the extreme demands laid upon nations' navies, coast guards and judicial agencies by laws that are too strict,

Appalled at the vast number of honest folk forced to work for corrupt governments as "privateers" in order to continue their trade,

Verily believing that it is now time to signal a shift,

Plotting a passage into yonder patrimonial seas of bounty,

Hereby repeal GAR #20 "Suppress International Piracy"

Opposed, doesn't make any reasonable arguments against the resolution.

Against.

This kind of argument opens the door to any number of repeals based solely on the idea that the people perpetrating crimes are having fun, so why should anyone else want to stop them? It's rather disturbing to see the amount of support this repeal currently has.

For, mainly for the humor value.

Of course, one can come up with any number of IC rationalizations :p

Here lies a toppled god.
His fall was not a small one.
We did but build his pedestal -
A narrow and a tall one.
