| Message | To 1, 2, 4, 5: This is needed, to make our military stronger. To 3: Minimum income is a sure job killer, so it should be very basic to avoid misuse. To 6, 8: The state should'nt decide for it's citizens, which kind of pornography to consume, however, these laws wouldn't allow child pornography. To 7: Discrimination is discrimination, no matter if it affects a majority or a minoity. Even positive discrimination goes heavily against a basic principle of democracy, the equality of all people. |

| Message | We completely disagree with WMD We don't feel that the minimum income is a "job killer" it will remain as is. 6 does allow child pronography and also rape so we will not allow that law to be changed and the state needs to take steps to ensure that people are treated equally. there is a discriminatory undercurrent we feel that the government needs to actively rather than passively fight aganst. |

| Message | If you consider rape some kind of pornography and not crime, you're right. Minimum income is a job killer, it doesn't matter if you "feel it" or not, it has been proved several times in other countries. It isn't the responsibility to discriminate people just because others are discriminated too. The only just thing would be discriminating those who discriminate, and this cannot be achieved by positive discrimination. As said, positive discrimination hurts people who mostly never did something wrong, which is a heavy injury against the principle of equal treatment by the state. |
