| Message | If we no longer extradite then other countries will no longer extradite to us if a criminal from our country flees. |
| Date | 02:34:22, September 12, 2007 CET | From | Imperial Cildanian Egoists | To | Debating the Extradition Reform Act. |
| Message | It is of more importance to protect our citizens from laws we have not approved, than to retrieve to us criminals who have fled. If a criminal flees, that simply allows us to be rid of him without the expense of trial or imprisonment, and never allow him to return. Exile from the home of the Sovereign Individual may as well be death considering the sad state of other nations. |
