| Message | (1) Oh, that's a great thing for the host at Wal-Market to say during the family's Christmas shopping: "A BLOW JOB in Aisle 9(LMAO)!!!" (2) Opposed, you are MISINTERPRETING the word "club" in the bill. A "club" has been interpreted by the Supreme Court of Likatonia as "ANY association of individuals on PRIVATE property!!!" Therefore, smoking is ALREADY legal in bars, restaurants, and private places of employment. However, it is ILLEGAL in public parks, the sidewalk, etc. b/c the dangers of second-hand smoke POLLUTES the air and infringes on NON-smokers' rights. On this reasoning, smoking is prohibited in INDOOR places on government property. (3) We will prefer LOCAL control on sports clubs, but this bill is ok (4) STRONGLY support (5) STRONGLY support (6) STRONGLY support; (7) STRONGLY oppose; we cannot DISCRIMINATE in the administering of Gun rights to those with ANY kind of illness!!! What is next---prohibit firearm possession to those that have HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE and are predisposed to aggravated bouts of STRESS??? |

| Message | We support 2 and 6. 4 and 5 seem to run against the idea of freedom. All other Articles we consider too dangerous to support. |

| Message | DWP, we don't believe we can follow your logic: how are articles' 4 & 5 running CONTRARY to freedom? Under the current law, the Likatonian People are PROHIBITED from owning and manging their own radio and television station since the State FORCES all stations to be owned by NON-profit cooperatives subsidized by the State (to advance its PROPAGANDA....haha). Rather, under the Libertarian's proposal, free-thinking individuals have the FREEDOM to have profit or NON-profit stations in which the State owns at least ONE for educational and informational purposes. Then again, perhaps your logic is that of SARCASM(haha)!!! |
