| Date | 22:33:15, January 06, 2008 CET | From | Order Of The Illuminati | To | Debating the Various Reforms |
| Message | The Democratic Party just keeps getting weirder as the years go by. Are there any common threads that tie these articles together? |
| Date | 23:05:31, January 06, 2008 CET | From | New Daio Party | To | Debating the Various Reforms |
| Message | This bill is large, and too confusing. The Daio will abstain if this bill is not segmented. Article 1: Largely irrelevant, as our military cannot afford a nuclear weapon. Article 2: Again, pointless, and possibly detrimental at this time. Article 3: Approved, as long as specific restrictions are imposed. Article 4: No. Local governments should have that power. Article 5: Who... um... cares? Article 6: Doesn't go far enough. To meet lethal force without having a lethal option is incorrigible. Article 7: Agree. Article 8: Torture is never acceptable. Article 9: I am happy with this either way. People are given the option to invest in the government or not. |
| Date | 18:10:39, January 07, 2008 CET | From | Irish Party | To | Debating the Various Reforms |
| Message | Article 1: We agree Article 2: We disagree with the self-regulation part. Article 3: We agree Article 4: We agree Article 5: We agree Article 6: We agree Article 7: We agree Article 8: We agree Article 9: We disagree... Overall a pretty good proposal, but you won't get a yes from us unless you seperate them into different proposals. |
| Date | 18:00:04, January 08, 2008 CET | From | H.C.P.Z | To | Debating the Various Reforms |
| Message | 1 - agree but would rather have it for any means 2 - disagree 3 - disagree 4 - disagree 5 - agreed - they need to follow our rules and this would discourage people going out of country to be married against our rules. 6 - disagree - police officers need to be able to defend themselves and lethal weapons would be a deterrent 7 - local governments suck disagree 8 - agree 9 - disagree |
