Message | The threat of a death penalty will stop some crimes from being performed. This will save lives. Nationalism should be important on the fact that national identity must be saved. Immigrants are allowed to come only if they embrace our culture and learn how to speak our language. Thus, immigrant must pass a test prior to becoming a citizen. This is all done in order to save the nations unity and homogenity. |

Message | good call |

Message | "The threat of a death penalty will stop some crimes from being performed. This will save lives." The death penalty is illegal for the same reason murder is: no one, not even a democratically elected government, has the right to extinguish someone's life. No matter how much they may deserve it. "Immigrants are allowed to come only if they embrace our culture and learn how to speak our language." Immigration to Baltusia has been open for 450 years. I would say that immigration is an integral factor in the Baltusian national identity. |
