| Message | Alas, we can not support this bill. The government should neither discriminate for nor against religion, and this is clearly the latter. |
| Date | 02:08:27, January 07, 2008 CET | From | 2ème PPPP | To | Debating the Acte pour un état laïcité, 2512 |
| Message | NO NO NO. OF COURSE we don't let religion be a part of government, but these laws are about individual liberty. |

| Message | Yes I am disappointed by the French and their ban of students wearing religious symbols and other stuff like that. That's not freedom at all. I should be able to wear all the bling I want! |

| Random fact: In cases where players introduce RP laws to a nation and then leave, Moderation reserves the discretion to declare the RP laws void if they appear to have fallen into disuse. In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left. |
