| Message | 4 is good. 3 is all right. 2 is downright disgusting, and exactly what I expected from the NSP. Article 1 I oppose, as I am a firm believer in local authority. |

| Message | Zemlja, why do you hate freedom so much? |
| Date | 22:07:52, September 08, 2007 CET | From | Zemlja i Volja | To | Debating the Red Crayon Aristocracy |
| Message | Mistake: 1-5-8-13-14-15 very good. 4-6-9-12 terrible. I don't hate freedom at all. On the contrary... ZIV is simply against the private ownership. The purpose is the reduction of the differences between rich-poor in Dranian Imperium. I'm for a social state, not for a freedom-abolition. |

| Message | Ummm... are you unaware of reality? If PRIVATE people (that is to say, NORMAL people, COMMON people) don't own the things, then a big central system owns it and, thus owns them. That central system controls them. Do YOU want the fascists controlling your healthcare? NO. I want to be able to control my own healthcare, thank you very much. Attack on private ownership is an attack on freedom, because it makes people totally dependent on the government, removing their INDEPENDENCE, and independence (ability to fend for oneself if one absolutely must) is the root of freedom. |

| Message | Freedom leads to youths giving dead dictators what they deserve. |

| Message | Hari Seldon II was only 12 years old. Besides, freedom is an illusion, the only truth in the world is Happiness and the only way to create perfect Happiness for all human beings is with a Benevolent Totalitarian Society designed to engineer humans both mentally and physically to be Happy. In order for it to work we must let go of the illusion of the past and the most dangerous illusion of all is the illusion of "freedom". Death to Freedom! Life to Happiness! |
