Message | Yes, because children doing a paper round forces them to grow up "too early" doesn't it. And I am sure that this is the main concern of those under-priviliged families who need every penny they can get. |
Date | 20:15:02, March 28, 2008 CET | From | Technocratic Nationalist Party | To | Debating the Children Being Children Act |
Message | We must point out that "child labor" is subject to many additional regulations. We certainly do not want Dorvish children working in hazardous conditions, but there is nothing wrong with allowing children to find work performing menial tasks, such as the aforementioned paper route. However, we should congratulate the DPLP on getting the TNP and DSDLP to agree on something; that's quite a feat. |

Random fact: Players who consent to a particular role-play by acknowledging it in their own role-play cannot then disown it or withdraw their consent from it. For example, if player A role-plays the assassination of player B's character, and player B then acknowledges the assassination in a news post, but then backtracks and insists the assassination did not happen, then he will be required under the rules to accept the validity of the assassination role-play. |
