| Message | The DLU look forward to starting the debate and would encourage parties who agree with the 16 adult limit to make representation. After all debate it is our national sport! :) |

| Message | It seems to us that if a person is old enough to realize that he is being oppressed, then he is plenty old enough for us to not oppress him. We would prefer there to be no legislative difference between adults and minors, but as that doesn't seem to be a possibility, the next-best thing would be to set the age of majority as low as possible, so as to oppress as few people as possible. Incidentally, it would seem that 'oppression' is our favourite word, and we feel that anything the government does constitutes oppression. But hey, it does! |
