ToDebating the The Freedom of Religion Act of 2500
MessageWe are a Christian Party but we also believe in the belief of tolerance, we are willing to conserve many ideals that are largely considered conservative and religious by other nations of the world. But we believe that the allowance of tolerance and minimal state intervention in the church will increase real membership and bring people back to the chruch not by force, but by a yearning for God.

MessageOOC: Well I have played in Particracy for a long long time and never have I been to a place where they make such a big deal about it. But seriously if you have that much of a problem with it then you must really have issues. I have always done that for the bill description and it fits me. I don't know how you could get that irritated, but I am not kidding you must really have some problems to with yourself if you get that irritated by that. We will keep doing that and I believe in common courtesy, but that is not hurting you and it is the most ridiculous thing I have heard for people to get that irritated by the way I do my bill description.

MessageOOC: And I also find it interesting that the two parties who have made a fit of it are the two parties I have the worst voting records with. (The Christian Communist Party and The Hultrian Nationalist Party). I wonder if perhaps I changed my bills to run in line with their policies if I would recieve that much flak from them.

MessageOOC: I've been playing this game since 2005 and have been in at least 7 countries, and from personal experience when someone does bill descriptions in the manner you do, people usually find it irritating. It's lazy and repetitive and just means you have to scroll your page for twice as long. I also believe in common courtesy, and it's common courtesy not to get on peoples nerves by just being lazy.

Also in regards to your second ridiculous post, its better that you are opposed to me as you're less likely to take my seats.

MessageOOC: Well this is my last post relating to your matter. I have been in more than 7 countries and I have never received from anyone that much flak. I mean you and the Nationalists are the only ones saying anything and to you it's a crusade. Lazy has nothing to do with it. Lazy would just be putting one letter and leaving it. Repetetive? The bill's description asks for it's desrciption and what's better than telling what the old and new proposed law is. Just because you have been playing for a long time dosen't mean that you have a higher ground than anyone else here. To everyone else it's not a big deal, but you thinking your a game master and a veteran player makes you no better than me or anyone else here. Sometimes I think Mr. Lievens appoionts such vain people to the position of game masters, there's a lot of good ones, but sometimes you run into those ones who just like to pick stuff out. As well I think everyone here can come down to it OOC that you really wouldn't care if I was another Christian Communist. So no I don't think it's ridiculous and I think I hit that spot right on there. Well that's my final rant I am going to keep my IC bill descritption ways and a common courtesy to us all would be you just getting over it and accepting and stop be such a knit picker. I made my point and I'm done.
