| Message | You talk about freedom and Democracy, and yet you want to force people to worship in schools. That does not let people even hug or kiss in public.That does not allow the people to have their own business. You can say you are fighting for them, yet all I see is your dicator like actions hampering the peoples rights. I agree with some of these, but I can not and will not force people to believe a certain religion, to not show they care for others, and to not be allowed to own their own business. You are doing nothing more but destorying more of this nation will proposals such as this. Bring the nation further onto its knees. |

| Random fact: Players have a responsibility to differentiate between OOC (out-of-character) and IC (in-character) behaviour, and to make clear when they are communicating in OOC or IC terms. Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context. |
