What?? When did this happen and why would anyone do that?
hmm time to whip out Jedi Mind tricks to make them forget their evil plans, only dangerous sith would threaten Mikeswill. (just a side joke but I am annoyed that someone would threaten Mikeswill I mean I wouldn't threaten someone in real life but over nationstates is a tad cringe)
But wouldn’t using mind tricks to wipe the mind of evil.... be evil itself?
Who even knows. A debate for the resident philosophers, I guess.

Hmm...Are you calling Obi Wan Kenobi evil? He used jedi mind tricks to control the minds of those Stormtroopers....

I wouldn't threaten anyone in real life or online too and don't understand the mentality or thought process of someone who would threaten other people. :(
Right, I'll put the Armed Forces on yellow alert just in case.

Governing a large country
is like frying a small fish.
You spoil it with too much poking.
Center your country in the Tao
and evil will have no power.
Not that it isn't there,
but you'll be able to step out of its way.
Give evil nothing to oppose
and it will disappear by itself.
You bring up an interesting point. Was not intentionally saying Obi Wan was good or evil. Rather is suppressing the agency of another in itself evil.
A more interesting thought: if there is a great evil you cannot defeat through just means, do you use a lesser evil to defeat it. The problem is either way evil remains.

When a country obtains great power,
it becomes like the sea:
all streams run downward into it.
The more powerful it grows,
the greater the need for humility.
Humility means trusting the Tao,
thus never needing to be defensive.
A great nation is like a great man:
When he makes a mistake, he realizes it.
Having realized it, he admits it.
Having admitted it, he corrects it.
He considers those who point out his faults
as his most benevolent teachers.
He thinks of his enemy
as the shadow that he himself casts.
If a nation is centered in the Tao,
if it nourishes its own people
and doesn't meddle in the affairs of others,
it will be a light to all nations in the world.

General Assembly Resolution At Vote
Ban On Sterilisation Of Minors Etc
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.
Category: Civil Rights
Strength: Mild
Whereas the sterilisation of minors or incompetent persons is not prohibited by the legislation of this most excellent Assembly :
And whereas it would be most safe to entrust the authority to make such a determination to independent medical authorities :
Be it enacted by the World Assembly, by and with the advice and consent of the Delegates and Members, in this present session assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows :
1. It is unlawful in all member nations to sterilise, in any way, a person below the age of majority or any incompetent person, without the approval of an independent Institutional Review Board, which has certified after review, the necessity of sterilisation for the long-term health of that person.
2. The WACC may make regulations to clarify upon and enforce this resolution.

The Tao is the center of the universe,
the good man's treasure,
the bad man's refuge.
Honors can be bought with fine words,
respect can be won with good deeds;
but the Tao is beyond all value,
and no one can achieve it.
Thus, when a new leader is chosen,
don't offer to help him
with your wealth or your expertise.
Offer instead
to teach him about the Tao.
Why did the ancient Masters esteem the Tao?
Because, being one with the Tao,
when you seek, you find;
and when you make a mistake, you are forgiven.
That is why everybody loves it.

Act without doing;
work without effort.
Think of the small as large
and the few as many.
Confront the difficult
while it is still easy;
accomplish the great task
by a series of small acts.
The Master never reaches for the great;
thus she achieves greatness.
When she runs into a difficulty,
she stops and gives herself to it.
She doesn't cling to her own comfort;
thus problems are no problem for her.
