Message | A complete joke. This legislation advocates open-border anarchy. We support the antishesis of every single article in this bill. |

Message | Opposition to this policy advocates a racist, intolerant breed of fascism. We entirely support resorting to fallacious hyperbole. And this bill. |

Message | Branding all dissenters 'fascists', 'racist' and 'intolerant' is a misnomer. Simply because we do not support open borders, open immigration, extensive foreign aid, lax border control, free trade and un-conditional amnesty for people who don't have the right to be here - people who are simply criminals - does not make us Hitlerites. It merely means that we oppose the excessive internationalist, globalist, cosmopoliton sentiment behind the articles in this legislation, and that we do not believe that any of them are in the best interests of Trigunia, or its economy, or its culture, or its people. We defy any claims of 'racism', 'homophobia', or 'sexism' against our party - the entire concept of racism is a politically correct, socialist construct, specifically designed to silence dissent against the new open-borders, international, globalist agenda, and to ensure that this internationalist regime goes unchallenged. By making certain ideas or phrases taboo, it is hoped that no one will question racial, cultural, gender and sexual equality, through fear of being labelled a bigot. But if the Socialdemokraticheskaya Partiya thinks that we will pander to the hyper-sensitivities of the politically correct idealogues in the electorate and in Trigunia's parliament, they are sorely mistaken. And if protecting our borders, our people, our culture, and our economy is 'racist', then we are, indeed, a 'racist' party. We are interested only in the best interests of Trigunia, and do not recognize such an extensive obligation to any other country or any other peoples in Terra. Trigunia must always come first. |

Message | ROLF! You crack me up Barnwood. |
Date | 19:42:37, June 20, 2008 CET | From | Korporatsia Ignatova | To | Debating the Ethical Foreign Policy |
Message | The Totalitarniy Front wish to announce a policy of improving literacy rates, to help the numbskulls in the FaTP learn what "hyperbole" means. |

Message | OOC: Barnwood?...what? Isn't Barnwood the Christian Soldiers party?...my name's not Barnwood :P... And I know what hyperbole means - what does that have to do with anything? Regardless of whether the Socialdemokraticheskaya Partiya was exaggerating or not, they called us racists and fascists, and those are claims we will fight to defend against. |

Message | OOC; Hello there! I'm Barnwood! Opening Trigunia's borders to anyone would create more crime than we could handle. Dranian and Telemonese murderers could just sail into port and live in our country, possibly murdering. Sex offenders on the run from Luthori could hide here, and we would just let them in with open arms, giving them a fat pay packet to help them start their new life. We cannot let this happen, for Trigunia and the people's sake. |
Date | 13:14:33, June 21, 2008 CET | From | Korporatsia Ignatova | To | Debating the Ethical Foreign Policy |
Message | OOC: It appears that the situation is even worse than before: we will have to invest a great deal of money in helping the FaTP understand irony as well. |
Date | 00:03:02, June 22, 2008 CET | From | Kommunisticheskiy Komitet Rabochih | To | Debating the Ethical Foreign Policy |
Message | Ohh, that explains a lot. Apologies Barnwood. |
