Message	The Eye concurs with Articles I and II, Article III is a touchy subject, It disagrees with Articles IV and V, and Article VI has been rejected so many times, I don't know why you keep proposing it.

Message	I keep proposing it because it's good legislation that should be passed, and that the Alorian people want.

To	Debating the Democratic Rationalist Platform
Message	We agree with articles 3 and 5. Also, compulsory education is infringement of human rights, you know.

From	Social Liberalism Party
To	Debating the Democratic Rationalist Platform
Message	Why do you people insist on providing the Alorian people with tools to kill themselves with?

Date	05:54:28, August 15, 2007 CET
From	Social Liberalism Party
To	Debating the Democratic Rationalist Platform
Message	And on the subject of Article II, perhaps we can met in the middle ground and use "Education is compulsory, but home schooling is permitted."

To	Debating the Democratic Rationalist Platform
Message	The problem with that, EOJ, is that it's not the policy the Alorian people prefer.

Date	03:11:59, August 16, 2007 CET
From	Social Liberalism Party
To	Debating the Democratic Rationalist Platform
Message	Is it what the Alorian people prefer or what you think the Alorian people prefer? The public opinion favors more permissive civil rights

Message	[EJP QUOTE:Why do you people insist on providing the Alorian people with tools to kill themselves with?] What about hunting or suicide? Two uses that cause no harm to others.

Message	EOJ, it is what the Alorian people prefer. By a wide margin, at that.

Message	Tyranny of the majority. That's what you want, is it not?

From	Democratic Rationalists (PrCoa)
To	Debating the Democratic Rationalist Platform
Message	It's not tyranny. Children have a civil right to education, even if their parents aren't willing to send them to school.
