| Message | Explain how Art2 protects the people... I would have thought a non-volunteer brigade would provide greater protection. I would support the local police departments, and am ambivalent about firearms/gated communities, but cannot support the death penalty and torture. |
| Date | 04:25:31, April 25, 2007 CET | From | Free Movement of Gaduridos | To | Debating the The Gaduri Protection Act of 2394 |
| Message | It would be easier and more effecient if the local not the federal govts ran the FD, As for firearms, we believe that this gives people the ability to protect themselves, govt cant do everything. gated communitys is just one of those things, who cares where the people want to live it is not for us to decide the death penalty, theres just some suck who dont deserve to live and torture would be a last resort in a desperate emergency |
| Date | 10:30:41, April 25, 2007 CET | From | Gaduridos Dictatorship Radical Party | To | Debating the The Gaduri Protection Act of 2394 |
| Message | I agree, there should be NO death penalty or torture. If you kill criminals, how does that make you better than them? |
| Date | 14:03:46, April 25, 2007 CET | From | Gaduri Resistencia | To | Debating the The Gaduri Protection Act of 2394 |
| Message | Even so, a volunteer FD does not provide as much protection. |
