SENATE BILL: The Question Time Act (Tabled)

Motion to table

Judging from your reaction when Antonio tried to table your "End to Imperialism Act" right off the bat, I'm surprised you're now trying to table this legislation before Barnes or anyone is even able to make an argument for it.

seeing as Barnes hasn't been around lately, maybe you know someone who'd offer an argument on his behalf?

I'm actually contacting Barnes through Facebook as we speak. Hopefully he gives me a response regarding his absence, and he can return to his duties soon.

Read the comments from actual Senators to see how we feel. Look at the bills in the queues that are more important. Look at Barnes' disappearance.

Antonio's motion to table was soundly defeated because it was unwarranted. His argument was so mature and well-developed that it consisted of "LOL". Please stop being such a troll, Ambassador. You know damn well this motion I to table is appropriate.

Actually, I don't think this motion to table is appropriate, and it's starting to bug me how you feel the need to attack anyone who disagrees with you, this time by calling me a troll. Just like you wanted a chance to lay out your reasoning's for the "End to Imperialism Act", I think Barnes should at least be given a day or two's chance to lay out his reasoning's as well before this is tabled and thrown out.

Antonio may have displayed his feelings in a less mature way, but both of you are the same in that you were trying to table something without even letting the sponsor give his reasoning's, which I disagree with.

The "sponsor" has neglected this game and isn't able to vote on bills.

Fair point on the first part, but I've contacted him and hopefully he'll be able to get on soon.

Completely disagree with you on the second part. I know you've expressed many times how you don't like anyone who's not part of the legislature butting in on a thread, but I don't see anything wrong with it, especially when they're the author of the bill and a member of the President's cabinet. There were quite a few bills introduced on behalf of my Administration where cabinet officials were part of the debate. I'm sure Polnut will be making an appearance himself in a few days to speak on his tax proposal.

I'm not trying to get you in a "corner", so to speak, I simply think it's wrong  that you get mad when people are trying to table YOUR bill without discussion, then turn around and try to do the very same thing to this bill. You really need to learn the definition of "troll" before you start throwing it out left and right.

I don't have hatred towards you or anyone.

I agree with you that the early arguments in your bill's thread were garbage, but I certainly wouldn't call the arguments made about this bill "gold". Regardless of the first couple hours of discussion, I still think the sponsor should at least have an opportunity to defend his piece of legislation. I'm sorry you think differently.


Regarding the bill itself, I think it should be amended so that anyone can propose a question, not just a Senator. I also think it probably needs to stay open longer. I would be interested in hearing Barne's reasoning for doing this every week. I think this could turn out to work very well, but it may start getting repetitive if we have it going on and on each week.
