| Message | we agree, however I believe the age of adulthood in Lodamun is 18. under this proposal a 17 would be banned form working. I need more time to consider this bill and would appreciate the input of fellow parties |

| Message | We do see your point, and could be convinced of a plan that would allow workers as young as 15 or 16 (with added regulations). To the best of our knowledge, however, we do not have those choices...and we can't support any legislation that would drop the age of adulthood. |

| Message | As we all know, our brave Union was founded on the hard working backs of our people. With the regulations we already have in place and our current economic prosperity, it allows people to choose to work or not. Furthermore, the 15-20 age group is one of our largest, passing this bill would cut that in half. Considering that we have under %5 unemployment, if passed, this would drop that percentage at least %1, giving the appearance of effectiveness but leaving thousands our HRH's subjects unable to work. This is a fine idea in theory, but not only would it put people out of work, it would cover up the damage it does to our economy by fuzzing the numbers. Free Lodamun cannot accept this. |

| Message | If you do not support lowering the age of adulthood to 16 or 17, the United Republics Party cannot support this bill. |

| Message | I have to say that, in its current form, this bill seems incomplete. I must consider the young adults who have decided that they would rather pursue a career than further education. Who is to say what they can or cannot do. |
