| Message | Why? Because it should be so? Offer some reasons for this change. Your party is new and we (that is, the collective parties of the Senate) do not understand why you operate the way you do. |

| Message | Prostitution is morally wrong. If you want to get laid do it the right way. Meaning go out and get some. Plus, prostitution spreads diseases for the citizens. Lowering of taxes will boost up the economy. We have an excess amount of revenue coming in. More goods, will be purchased by the people. Hence, their standard of living will go up. As we do not spend money on military. We are able to have tax breaks for the people. Without huge nuance to the govenment. |

| Message | "Prostitution is morally wrong." Anything objective to back it up? Or is it wrong because it is? "Plus, prostitution spreads diseases for the citizens." Only if improperly regulated. "More goods, will be purchased by the people. Hence, their standard of living will go up." I don't see the connection. The rest of your argument is non-sensical. |

| Message | "I don't see the connection. The rest of your argument is non-sensical." Shows how much you know about economics. If you want to discuss Macroeconomic aspect, well then maybe you should study it. If you do not see the connection, well, then I presume that you never took Macro in school. |

| Message | If you can hear me up there on your high horse, perhaps you would care to explain it a bit more thoroughly rather than acting like a six year old? Perhaps you would also care to respond to the other arguments or didn't your macroeconomics class (obviously the be-all, end-all of education) teach anything about the morality of prostitution? |
