| Message | Torture is an evil act. It simply forces people to say things they don't believe out of fear of physical retribution - and therefore serves no purpose except to please the perverted sadism of certain police officers. Vote for this and you support sadism and evil. |

| Message | The Books of Law clearly state that a thief must repay what has been taken, double in certain circumstances. If he does not have the funds he should clearly not be exempt from the Law: but should pay with his labour. |

| Message | Reading our previous statement we realise we were rather far off topic. We were of course defending slavery, not torture. |
