| Message | Article three rapes any freedom of expression. Five annihilates militia power. Six is just wrong. 100% incorrect values to base a free nation on. And Seven IS structural violence, and use of negative bio-power. Therefore, no. |
| Date | 08:42:01, January 21, 2008 CET | From | Kafuri Socialist Party | To | Debating the KSP Civil Liberties Bill |
| Message | 3) No, it promotes unity and prevents people from disrespecting our national symbols. 5) Only for those parties stupid enough to actually follow the law. Our militia would not be effected by this law. 6) Security. More important than privacy. Again, we live in a dangerous world. 7) What do you mean by "structural violence"? This just means foreign marriages are only recognized if they comply with national marriage laws. |
| Date | 08:57:18, January 21, 2008 CET | From | The Kuchifey Liberation Party (KLC) | To | Debating the KSP Civil Liberties Bill |
| Message | 3) It still violates freedom of expression, and won't actually change people's mindsets. It will just anger the people. 5) I guess that's acceptable reasoning. 6) I feel oppositely. I do acknowledge the danger, yet, I feel there is too much room for corruption, even though I am not accusing you of being corrupt. 7) Structural violence is too vast to sum up in a couple seconds, but I changed my advocacy on this article. |
| Date | 08:57:48, January 21, 2008 CET | From | The Kuchifey Liberation Party (KLC) | To | Debating the KSP Civil Liberties Bill |
| Message | Actually, I didn't mean seven. I meant 9. |
| Date | 08:58:26, January 21, 2008 CET | From | The Kuchifey Liberation Party (KLC) | To | Debating the KSP Civil Liberties Bill |
| Message | I really support seven actually. Strongly. |
| Date | 09:04:24, January 21, 2008 CET | From | Kafuri Socialist Party | To | Debating the KSP Civil Liberties Bill |
| Message | If our AgitProp is good enough and was pursued long enough, there would be no problems. In the short term...well, we have well equipped police. Thanks. Agree to disagree then I guess. Again. Security. Propose your own bill containing those portions of this bill you support please. Do the same for my other bills if you don't mind. |
