| Message | Bloody communism. We don't want common oiks in our universities! Especially not now that they think they are 'citizens' when they remain, so far as the Linen and Pimm's party and all right thinking Luthori are concerned, subjects of His Serene Majesty. |

| Message | Communism would be giving the money away, not making a profit from the interest. I must assume then that you never received a Luthori University education or you would have a better understanding of economic theories. If any other feeble minded individuals would like to suppose that the Falls Party supports a communist or socialist agenda please come prepared to be made an absolute fool of, bar none. |
| Date | 00:55:45, June 28, 2007 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the FPA 5-19 Higher Education Loans |
| Message | Our Rt Hon Friend representing the Falls Party has convinced us this is not a communist proposal, and we're sure that was never more than light hearted namecalling anyway: but he has not addressed our fears of common oiks getting into our universities and devaluing them, as they have devalued Imperial Citizenship. |
| Date | 01:01:30, June 28, 2007 CET | From | Teleurstelling Party | To | Debating the FPA 5-19 Higher Education Loans |
| Message | OOC: I need to name my Rep. IC: ..::Rep Rises::.. The Rt. Hon Gentlemen representing the BCD has a genuine concern. You will note our support in the other proposal of government regulations setting minimum standard for educational institutions, all of them. Regulated to small degree. Simply put, if they don't meet University standards they do not receive the loan. The university clearly must accept you before you even qualify for the loan. Hence, problem solved. Admissions have been wholly based on academia., and they would continue to not be wholly based on academia. |
