| Amendment to the Cultural Act |
|
I would like to propose an amendment to Article 1 of the Cultural Act.
I think it is very important for our region to be as inclusive as possible. We should not limit SPIT only to those who are of sufficient age, and who are willing to, drink alcohol. All South Pacificans should be able to enjoy SPIT!
So...only lemon-lime soda?

I will say though that if there's a willingness to edit the recipe, I was wondering why there wasn't actually any tea in the recipe...
South Pacific Iced Tea is a version of Long Island Iced Tea, which contrary to its name doesn't actually contain tea.

I would appreciate it if you could add the name of the act at the top of your proposal and the name of the article these sections fall under, like this:
Alternatively, you can include the subtitle as well.
I think this is a nice idea. May I suggest that the proposal be changed to "who are unable or choose not to consume alcohol"?
Another option would be to rewrite Section 7 to read: Quote:(7) The official beverage of the region is South Pacific Iced Tea, the recipe of which shall be composed of but not exclusive to vodka, rum, tequila, blue curaçao, and lemon-lime soda. Anyway, those are my suggestions; feel free to take them or leave them.

Upon further reflection I do think having the language in terms of substitution rather than omission as Nat suggested could be clearer; I quite like the language Nat suggested actually, if something like this would be better supported?
You forgot to put vodka on the list but, apart from that, I think it looks very good

So, I mean this in the nicest way possible, but you're not going to find a "substitute" for vodka ... rum ... tequila ... etc. A substitute would be sour mix, water with blue food coloring.
Not to mention making the regional drink an ... anything goes ... which is what this proposal is doing is just silly. Just say we have a regional drink we call a SPIT but in the spirit of inclusivity we have no recipe for it because that's literally what the above is doing.
