Message | Oh man... Seems like we're going backwards here. You are proposing to reverse almost every law that is socially progressive. We will reject this bill. |

Message | What you call 'progressive', we recognise as depraved. The Sultanate will not be polluted by traitors like you forever, who seek to impose the values of others upon us. |

Message | The values of others? You reprsent one type of people while we represent another. It's called democracy. Not every single person in this country has the same values or views as you. |
