Dear members of the court,
Objection! DA is attempting to bypass the trial and go straight to the punishment. L-man, chill with the trigger finger. He must be found guilty first.
Defense council will have to excuse me, for some reason I thought everything was crystal clear to everyone! We will proceed with the trial since it is clear you have decided to take on the impossible.
For the records I would like to restate that the Defense council has acknowledged the accused party (TBK) being guilty of violating the 1st, 4th, 9th Amendment of the IPC Constitution which were charges brought forth by the DA. Therefore we can conclude that Defense have pleaded guilty to the charges brought forth by the DA however have brought a whole new case upon which the trial should be based, whether this is a reasonable request I leave it for the Judge to decide. If the appeal for the trial to be based on a totally different basis in denied, then I would like that punishment is carried out as soon as possible.
We must do our best to uphold the principles under which IPC was founded by its Founding Fathers…aka Ahreeman. I do not believe that it was his intent to limit the freedom of the existence of those such as TBK.
Objection you Honor. Speculating on behalf of someone else.
I hereby challenge the enforceability of IPC’s Constitution. I claim that the Constitution can be interpreted not as a minimum standard which would require electrocution by anyone failing to reach its demands, but as an ideal for which its members ought to strive.
If rules and laws are meant to be "ideals" that society should strive for then we would be living in a lawless society. Dear members of the jury, why do we have laws in our society? Why do we for example deem rape to be illegal and something that should be punished? We have laws to uphold the rule of law and we enforce the law in order to deter people from breaking it and for punishing those who break it. Breaking the law jeapordizes the peaceful society which we seek to live in. If we were to allow people to roam around free doing as they wish and "advicing" them to "follow ideals" there would be utter chaos! Some individuals might not want to strive for any ideals such as the accused party in this trial. If a rapist was adviced to follow an ideal, but knowing that if he didn't there would be no repurcussions, do you members of the jury think that would deter him from carrying out his crime? No it wouldn't; it would in fact encourage him and other criminals to increase their illegal activities. The very same can be applied to spammers and those who seek to disrupt freedom of speech.
If one is in accord with Amendment 5, and exercises his right to hold nothing sacred, he may run into discord with Amendment 1, which demands protection and servitude of the Persian Culture. These two amendments could potentially be in conflict with each other, if we encounter a Taazi wanna-be (such as TBK). He holds nothing sacred (in accordance with A5), and is in violation of A1. In fact, no Taazis should be allowed in here if we are going to enforce A1. Furthermore, all foreigners who don’t particularly care about Persian Culture ought not be allowed in here either. Yet, A4 points out that EVERYONE (including foreigners) are welcome here
Here I would like to call for an official representative of IPC Office to set clear what Amendement 1 of the IPC Constitution entails and other amendaments whose interpretation have been brought into question.
Amendment 1 of the IPC Constitution states:
1st Amendment.
Iran Politics Club's mission is to protect and serve the Persian Culture.
Can IPC then intervene in the day to day activities of the board and "protect and serve Persian Culture" from those who seek to trash it? If so how would IPC intervene:
1) By constantly engaging in a discussion with the accused party; which would waste a lot of time and space on the board.
2) By warning the accused party to stop repeating their offense and if continued then ban him.
3) Other ways?
With that having been stated defense council has chosen to interprete the "Nothing here is sacred!" sentence within Amendment 5 very literally. Members of the jury, can we not conclude what is reasonable and what is not. If we take the "Nothing here is sacred!" sentence literally then rape, murder, spamming etc would all be allowed would it not?
Since it's the interpretation of the Constitution that has been brought into question here it is imperative for IPC Office or the Founder to take to the stand and set the record straight once and for all, as it is clear the Constitution is being interpreted in different ways.
In fact, no Taazis should be allowed in here if we are going to enforce A1. Furthermore, all foreigners who don’t particularly care about Persian Culture ought not be allowed in here either.
Again we need clarification on the powers of IPC in serving and protecting Persian Culture in order to be able to address this.
[quote]Furthermore, A4 could potentially be in conflict with itself. As DA points out, TBK is in violation of this Amendment because he is foolish and does not conform to an “intellectual standard.â€
