| Message | The consequence of the passage of the bill would be simple: THE NATIONAL ANTHEM WOULD BE USELESS. As Alorians, we should respect the national anthem because it represent our mother land. The current law will help teach children that lesson. If the proposed changes are made, it would be better if you just scrap the national anthem and replace it with NOTHING. |

| Message | Rubbish. Playing it to children daily only decreases its value to them. The national anthem is still there at national events. Both the schools and the parents should teach some respect for it, but incessantly playing it as per federal law is ridiculous. |

| Message | Agreed. We don't need nationalism. Respecting our nation comes in the form of preserving freedom, rights and liberties not singing songs and waving flags for effect. |

| Message | Right now, children are required to simply pay respect when the anthem is played. They don't necessarily have to put their right hand on their left breast and sing it. They simply have to stop what they are doing, be silent while the anthem is played, and sing if they so desire. We would prefer this over the other choices. |

| Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
