| Message | Disgusting. If a person wishes to work 60 hours a week, because they prefer making a little extra money, then they should be able to do so. It is an infringement on human rights to prevent this. The right to freedom of liberty is paramount. |

| Message | Is it really worth fighting in the ditches to preserve the "right" of individuals to neglect their family lives, their health and the future of the planet by burning themselves out with long hours? Professor Horace Werckle (Director of the Human Extinction Project) |

| Message | "Fighting in the ditches"? Not really quite sure what you're trying to say, but people must be able to work as long as they wish. It is not for the government to limit how many hours a person can work. People do not need to be babysat throughout their entire lives. |

| Message | OOC: "Fighting in the ditches" is a slang phrase meaning to "go all the way" or "try to the utmost". |
