| Message | Articles 1 and 2 are against the torah. Article 3 has no purpose. The private secotr can do that. Article 4 allows people to break the law without us being able to act. |
| Date | 17:58:39, August 05, 2007 CET | From | Moderate Voice of Reason Party | To | Debating the Sexual Protection and Individual Liberty Act |
| Message | While we strongly agree with all points in this bill, for us the most important is Article 3. It is essential for the furthering of our great nation to invest in institutions of higher learning. Education is the silver bullet that will, if properly funded, be the great equalizer in our society. While it is true that the private sector can have a role in our education system, as it is there isn't much of a system to speak of. We need to fund state sponsored schools and create incentives for private investment in the education sector. I would also like to add that, even though we on principle are oppositional to religion being a major part of government and education we are puzzled as to how the Mizrachi League seem not to want to fund schools that will not only teach our children and our youth the necessary skills to become productive citizens, but teach also verse them in our holy texts? Education is the very backbone of a nation's self reliance and without a strong system of education our nation will slowly decay into the economic squalor. |

| Message | We are warm to your ideas on education, but your attempts at sexually corrupting our country runs against the very basis of our existence. |

| Message | Articles 1 and 4 are not acceptable, as the first is immoral and the last, as the ML said, prevents the government from apprehending or discovering certain criminals. Abortions should remain restricted, as should internet communications in the case of government suspicion of wrongdoing. The second and third Articles would be wonderful, but unfortunately they are connected to two unacceptable positions. |

| Message | Articles 3 and 4 are most than acceptable; they are fantastic! We must make knowledge available to all citizens, and we must not restrict it in any way. Articles 1 and 2 are fine. The RNP will approve of anything to reduce the number of humans. |
