| Message | But why changing good laws? My point is that taking somebody into our country is always good, as long as he integrates into Kajor, and we all know that refugees from Europe during WWII made the US win the war and become the most powerful country in the world. |

| Message | And we all know that loop-holes in the EU Immigration laws allowed Islamic terrorists to enter the likes of Spain and UK and kill hundreds of people! This is a matter of National Security! |

| Message | I think this kind of terrorism i better fought through education (outlawing religious schools, for example) by effectively integrating immigrants into our society. |

| Message | "outlawing religious schools, for example" I'd only be for outlawing religoous schools of a particular religion. You know what I mean. |
| Date | 17:48:52, August 15, 2005 CET | From | Kanjoran National Party | To | Debating the Refugee Responsibilty Act |
| Message | I support this legislation. Massive amounts of "refugees" put a burden on our healthcare and education systems, not to mention raising unemployment levels. The current legislation simply puts an unnecessary burden on the citizens of Kanjor and the Kanjoran economy. |

| Message | "I'd only be for outlawing religoous schools of a particular religion. You know what I mean." - Isn't that an odd comment coming from a person whose nation's terrorists are Christians? |

| Message | "Isn't that an odd comment coming from a person whose nation's terrorists are Christians?" I live in the Republic of Ireland, you're confusing us with Northern Ireland, which is part of the UK. - There has never been any sectariansm or religous terrorism or discrimmination between christian religous in the Rep. of Ireland since the foundation of the Irish Republic. - Come to the Rep. of Ireland, and you'll see this, then go to Northern Ireland (the UK) and you'll see the difference. |

| Message | Fair enough. You are, however, still near a place whose terrorists are Christians, so you should have more perspective than to say such things. |

| Random fact: Players have a responsibility to differentiate between OOC (out-of-character) and IC (in-character) behaviour, and to make clear when they are communicating in OOC or IC terms. Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context. |
