| Message | Hiring policies should be based entirely upon the skill of the applicant, and not on the color of his or her skin, for any reason. |
| Date | 11:11:51, August 15, 2007 CET | From | Cosa Nostra | To | Debating the Fair Employer Policy |
| Message | We must agree. We liked it better when you proposed no dicrimination whatsoever a few bills ago... |

| Message | Oh whoops I voted wrong. I read on the Particracy forum that voting against your own bills is just as good as voting for them, so I made a bill to vote against. Saying minorities are better than the majority is just as bad as saying they are worse. This is inequality, and we vote against. |
