| Message | one thing ive learnt is that you should never be overly confident in this country. The PPP will not vote yes, the rest of us will probebly vote yes... but i have had bill that i thought would pass that were utterly rejected. |

| Message | I think this one is conroversial actually. But I think we need to drag this country into the modern age - and part of doing that is recognising that different family structures can work, especially in an age when single parent families are the norm. |

| Message | well i am all for it. i do think we need to be modern, but the PPP will oppose you all the way... anything controversial is shot down by them. |

| Message | Why can't everyone adopt children? Why only couples? |

| Message | I think that single parent families are less preferable IF there is a choice on the matter... Some would argue the same about a homosexual couple, but the evidence support one conclusion and not the other in my view. If we are trying to build modern family values I think a two parent houshold should be our ideal. |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
