| Message | I like 1, but i think it should then be left up to themselves with 2.... But if push comes to shove i will vote yes... |
| Date | 05:38:32, October 12, 2007 CET | From | Endralon Confederates Party | To | Debating the Religious Schools Act |
| Message | I don't agree with 1 because I really don't see the need for private schools to be regulated, thats the whole point of them being private. For number 2 I side with Fianna Fail, it should just be left up to the communities, it gets rid of conflicts with these types of very controversial topics that are basically fought between different parts of the country, religious and non-religious. However, I will have to vote no most likely. |

| Random quote: "In Germany they first came for the Communists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me--and by that time no one was left to speak up." - Pastor Martin Niemoller |
