| Message | How on Terra is this standardization? Articles 1 and 2 contradict each other! |
| Date | 22:10:35, January 13, 2008 CET | From | Oligarchic Unionist Party | To | Debating the Aneist Bill - Education |
| Message | Not at all. One raises the age at which a person is considered an adult, the other lowers the age at which a person is forced into schooling. If you keep up with British news you will find that the former allows more maturity in dealing with adult issues and allowances, the latter is vital to keep discipline in schools. |
