| Message | "The Paraplu Party may or may not eat fetus during full moons." No one is going to publish that. And I think most people would find it odd that I am so against abortion and yet eat fetus! Popstry! |

| Message | "spread dirty lies about the candidates of the parties who voted against it." That's a pretty lame threat. Especially as you've publically admitted that any claims you start to spread are in actual fact lies. Seems you just killed your credibility. Anyway, we beat you to it: http://www.takeforum.com/particracy/viewtopic.php?p=133663&mforum=particracy#133663 Just so you know, Republica Daily is our national newspaper (OOC: and has been since 1987 in particracy years) |

| Message | it is nessisary! you shouldnt be able to publish falsities about people. this would limit slander and force people to talk on intelectual grounds, rather than petty name calling. |

| Message | "talk on intelectual grounds, rather than petty name calling." Its ironic that the party that proposed this is in fact one of the least intellectual and most prone to name-calling. |

| Message | Excuse me? When have i ever resorted to name calling? And when have i tried anything other than to engage in intellectual disscussion? |
