Description[?]:
We are all human. Whether we be from Telamon, Kirlawa, Deltaria, or any other country. While national borders divide us in some ways, we are all human. We all reside under the same sky, and we all share a duty to promote the human race as a whole. Sometimes, certain parts of the world are harmed by catastrophic events. Whether they be natural disasters, disasters of our own making, wars, famines, plagues, etc. People in such a position are helpless and vulnerable. And we all know we would hate to befall the same situation. The Free humanity party believes the best thing to do is to help those in need, and one day, so that once day, should we find ourselves in need, there will be a wide network of countries we have helped in the past, who are willing to return the favor. |

Message | We support this bill, since it will help other nations' economies and eventually pay off in increased tourists coming from other countries to Telamon. |
Date | 01:17:49, September 04, 2007 CET | From | Telamonese Cultural Alliance | To | Debating the International Aid bill |
Message | I don't think that countries who need international aid will be sending lots of tourists to Telamon. This is just a waste of money, honestly. |
Date | 04:32:06, September 04, 2007 CET | From | Regional Acronym Political Establishment | To | Debating the International Aid bill |
Message | People in need got like that through their own failures. If someone becomes a victim of a natural disaster, then they deserve to die. Want relief? Go piss in the woods. |
Date | 06:53:13, September 04, 2007 CET | From | United Labour Party of Telamon | To | Debating the International Aid bill |
Message | So if your country is so poor because of another country and can not fight back, you deserve to die because a hurricane happened and you can not afford a shelter or to move away because you are a poor farmer because your family has always been poor farmers and they can not do anything about it, since they have no chance to get an education or even think about it? |

Date | 20:53:48, September 05, 2007 CET | From | National Soviet Party | To | Debating the International Aid bill |
