| Message | Wow, all over the place. There are a few issues in here however - Article 2: Does this include foreigners who own property in Dundorf? We should amend for that. Article 3: The flag should not be used as toilet paper. Article 5: Poor (and lazy) journalism. Nightly news should not be like TMZ. Article 8: Is this really necessary. |
