Message | Do we really need a treaty to remind us of these things? Do you think Kanjorans are stupid? Do you hate Kanjor? |
Date | 23:31:25, September 07, 2007 CET | From | Union Hosienne-Démocrate (UHD) | To | Debating the Ratification of the Declaration of the Rights of Man |
Message | The UPF feels that this is a good proposition. These Rights as defined by the Declaration states a clear purpose for the expansion of government; and its role in regulating society. As is clearly stated in the Declaration; "Nothing may be prevented which is not forbidden by law, and no one may be forced to do anything not provided for by law ..." This states the Rights of what it means to be a citizen (which the UPF Citizen Act supports); it states the responsibility of citizenship and it clearly points out the supreme position of government on all issues pertaining to the nation. OOC: Nice try PPPP; if you didn't notice, this document is what allowed the formation of the Committee of Public Safety during the French Revolution because it puts great emphasis on the responsibility of government ("law") to better define all of these issues. Instead of ambiguity of interpretation that the American Bill of Rights presents, here we get an ambiguity of WHO determines what fits each law. |

Message | I am well aware of the history of the French revolution. And for the Goons- no, no, and no. I just think it might be cool to respect this time-honored document. Jeeze. |
Date | 04:30:57, September 08, 2007 CET | From | Grand Order of Organized Native Sodality | To | Debating the Ratification of the Declaration of the Rights of Man |
Message | Why can't you just say you hate Kanjor, PPPP? ooc: I agree with this. I just hate being wrapped up in a bunch of treaties. |
Date | 07:28:10, September 08, 2007 CET | From | 2ème PPPP | To | Debating the Ratification of the Declaration of the Rights of Man |
Message | We don't lie to those we represent, unlike some parties. |
Date | 11:27:19, September 08, 2007 CET | From | Grand Order of Organized Native Sodality | To | Debating the Ratification of the Declaration of the Rights of Man |
Message | So by not saying that you don't hate Kanjor, you are saying that you hate Kanjor? |
Date | 19:44:01, September 08, 2007 CET | From | 2ème PPPP | To | Debating the Ratification of the Declaration of the Rights of Man |
Message | I truly cannot believe my beloved Kanjor would keep a pseudo-fascist party like yours in power. |

Message | You simply don't understand what "your" people want. |
