Message | This is abject barbarism. Why bother governing a civilization when we can just tear it down piece by piece instead? |
Date | 15:35:52, September 08, 2007 CET | From | Liberal Urban Party | To | Debating the People's Protection Against Terrorism Act |
Message | I agree with RGP on that matter. By the way, Article 2 has extremely bad consequences on our already unstable nation.... |

Message | I dislike three. It is rather needless. Working prisoners to death has a higher rate of return than simply killing them. |
