| Message | Article 1 sounds somehow strange, but we support it. About Article 2, we agree that must exist some kind of control on fireworks, since some people, mainly kids, are not able to handle them safely. |

| Message | for child labour if your kind of young its very hard to get a job and make some money and also it can help poor families support themselves. |

| Message | Continuing... About Article 3, we suggest that govern should not subsidize private corporations, but act as an investor of last resort, by nationalizing failing industries that provide vital goods or services; so that produce self-resources. We encourage Article 5. Articles 4 and 6: we don't see any important matter on them. |

| Message | Rewriting, many Articles changed their order. Article 1 sounds somehow strange, but we support it. The same for Article 2. About Article 3, we agree that must exist some kind of control on fireworks, since some people, mainly kids, are not able to handle them safely. About Article 4, we suggest that govern should not subsidize private corporations, but act as an investor of last resort, by nationalizing failing industries that provide vital goods or services; so that produce self-resources. We encourage Article 6. Articles 5 and 7: we don't see any important matter on them. |
