| Message | So you think the "Kalistani way" is to get our citizens dependent on welfare and to destroy our struggling economy with needless statism. You also support the raping of little Kalistani girls and boys by perverts and it being viewed by millions on the Internet, wihtout the government being able to take action? Oh, and I suppose allowing all Kalistanis to get cancer simply by regularly going to a public building is also deeply rooted in Kalistani traditions. |
