| Message | Any reason why or is just yet another example of socialist irrationality? |
| Date | 08:38:27, May 16, 2007 CET | From | Revolutionary Democratic Socialists | To | Debating the GM Crops Bill. |
| Message | GM crops give too much control to the corporations that own the patents, and control these crops. Also can tend to be dangerous. WE want research into the technology, as we belive in all research; but at this stage, we need to limit its use. |

| Message | "GM crops give too much control to the corporations that own the patents, and control these crops." Breed different strains of crops? Create competition? Do these concepts mean nothing to you? "but at this stage," OOC: What would "this stage" be exactly (not directed at you specifically, just asking generally)? Its 2405 and we've been debating GM crops since the 2100s at least. You'd think after three centuries it would cease to be an issue. |

| Random fact: It is not allowed to call more than 5 elections in 5 game years in a nation. The default sanction for a player persisting in the early election tactic will be a seat reset. |
