Message | Actually article two isn't my favorite option either. That's just what happened before, even when I tried to change it. I would prefer the national government being able to do it during times of emergency. Which one did you want? |

Date | 22:53:19, April 03, 2007 CET | From | Liberal Tukarali Democratic Party | To | Debating the The Anti-Fascist Bill |
Message | Was article 2 the curfew part? That is what I meant I may have messed up. We support no curfew at all. |
Date | 01:46:01, April 04, 2007 CET | From | Free People's Movement | To | Debating the The Anti-Fascist Bill |
Message | Article two was the curfew pact but I added another one and apparently there's something behind the ordering I don't know about. Curfew seems to be something we're divided about then and it would be better for us to simply go back to how it was before and ten argue about it. |

Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar). |
