| Message | While several important issues are addressed in this proposal, overall the PRP feel that it crosses a line when it comes to allowing our citizens choice in regards to their persons. We would heartily endorse and encourage a national program of public and free health care along with free vaccinations, but the unnecessary regulation of alcohol and recreational drugs is troublesome, and the proposed system for government-run sports clubs is, frankly, bizarre. We see no reason or need for half the proposals in this bill, and therefore cannot support it as it stands. |

| Message | OOC: What is a sports club anyways? I mean is it like a bar where people go to watch sports, or like a small sports gambling establishment? |

| Message | I think that we should focus on producing millions of expendable, fanatical troops rather than just a few healthy ones. Futhermore, through certain hallucinogenic recreational drugs, our hordes of soldiers can fight without fear or restraint. Their poor health and lack of vaccinations will make them the perfect carriers of our biowarefare agents...until they die. But the soldier is expendable. |
