| Message | "Outlaws any machines that create shoes for the parentless." Let me get this right. You're saying you want to ban machines that make shoes for orphans? And people call us fascists? |

| Message | These machines destroy jobs for factory workers. Imagine this scenario: A worker is laid off. He and his wife can not afford to keep their children, and have to orphan them. After this, the people who own the shoe machine just get richer and richer. |

| Message | But where will the orphans get their shoes from? Not only are they parentless but just to rub it in you propose to make them go bare foot as well? The cruelty of it! |

| Message | We make them shoes out of broken glass! This will toughen them for the harsh reality of the world. But, we will make the broken glass shoes by hand. |

| Message | Well, if it's a punishment you're looking for, instead of your broken glass sandals perhaps we could send the kids off to an economic school staffed by the DFCP and FPP? A couple of taxation lessons from those boring bastards is enough to make anyone start cutting themselves! |

| Random fact: It is possible for a player to transfer ownership of a character or a royal house to another player. This should be done in a public way, such as on the Character Transfers thread, so that if a dispute arises in the future, Moderation can be pointed towards evidence of the transfer. |
