HHAYD Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 (edited) GLS National News Report: With the recent surge of idiotic lawsuits, bizarre child abuse cases, and other W-T-H cases, the GLS Legislative came up with a major amendment to the current Great Lakes State Constitution and a federal law. And its called, "The Bill of No Rights". 1. You do not have the right to blame on somebody for something you did or something that was in your control in lawsuits and other criminal or civil cases. Just because you stuck your hand in a blender while it is on, that doesn't mean you can sue the blender company for something you did. However, product manufacturers are still required to label unknown risks on their products, if there are any. 2. You do not have the right to sue an excessive amount. For example, if a person dents your $40,000 car while biking and causes a $50 damage, you can not sue one million dollars. 3. You have the right to help the police catch suspects, but you do not have the right to beat them to pulp. Innocent until proven guilty. 4. You have the right to raise children, but you may not convert them into cash cows or something you can torture for fun. 5. You do not have the right to sue someone for their action when you were the one who indirectly caused it. For example, if you were leave a banana peel on the sidewalk and a skater slips on it and crushes your dog, you do not have the right to sue that person because you were the one who left the cause of the accident on the sidewalk, the banana peel. This amendment will take effect the moment it is approved by the Legislative and the general population. ---- Child Abuse Prevention Act: All 12th grade high school students are required to take a parenting class. If a mother is pregnant after one year of taking the high school parenting class, she will be required to take a review parenting class. If she has a husband, he will also be required to take a parenting class. Review parenting classes' schedules are flexible, but must be taken about 20 days before the mother gives birth. This federal law will take effect the moment it becomes a law. --------------------------------------- The federal law is pending to be approved, or vetoed by President Jake. The amendment's approval voting day will start on August 20th, 2009. ---------------------------------- OOC: I got bored, so I decided to try to RP something interesting.

Justinian the Mighty Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Hopefully these laws will encourage people to think before they act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HHAYD Posted June 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Just recently, Wash Frak, the nation's most infamous lawyer, decided to sue the Great Lakes State government for forcing people to know how to take care of children and for outlawing lawsuits. The case will be held in the Supreme Court. Here are his words: Are you serious? Are you trying to force people into knowing how to take care of children when they already know how? Your pathetic "Bill of No Rights" blocks off many important lawsuits, such as warning the manufacturers about the dangers of their products. The response from President Jake: The amendment and the law hasn't been approved yet, so basically you are suing over an issue that doesn't exist yet.

Subtleknifewielder Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 These kind of laws are actually recceiving a fairly favorable light in Promised Land, with 66% of those polled supporting them, and 5% fully undecided. If they are approved, we suggest they should be collectively referred to as the Bill of Common Sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
