| Message | Society and Sense keep themselves, let those who wish to pariah themselves before those who once considered them as equal be free to do so, why trouble the law and those reserved to protect those who require the protection of the law, Let not the guardians of the law be distracted by that which is a threat not immediate. Especially given how labour shortages and underfunding inhibit the guardians of the law as it is. -D. Canes |

| Message | It seems our esteemed comrades in the CFU find greater difficultly in the comprehension of the king's English than one would expect of an illiterate Kanjoran, the point that I attempted to convey, ignorant of your condition, is that a law is not needed to stop those who wish to act in a manner inappropriate for society jet so minor and trivial to the stability and well-being of the nation or her people. Our Police forces are at present undermanned and underfunding a problem to which your party encourages as obvious from your bill for decentralisation, Should not they spend their time preventing those crimes harmful to society rather than chase those who act in such a way as to separate themselves from society and as such punish themselves? Why sexual intercourse is not an activity to be played out in the public eye there is no reason for it to be a legislative concern, it is an act carried out by a minority of deviants who would not be stopped by such a law in existence. This bill serves no purpose other than to waste officers time and cement in the mind of the voters your position on the subject. -D. Canes |

| Message | We rather feel that the NA undermine there own argument. You correctly assess the fractional minority of citizens whome will be affected by the legislation, but in doing so you also try to claim that the law will waste the time of our undermanned and underfunded (I'll give you underfunded, but undermanned sounds rather like an assumption to me) police. Surely a bill which will encoumpus such a fractional minority of the criminal population is not exactly going to present a major strain on our lew enforcement body. We are not suggesting the government commences funding of a special "sex in public places branch" of the police force; we're mearly altering the law so that, when such cases do come about, the police as surefooted in there ability to actually do there jobs. |
