| Message | Local governments fund the libraries exactly as well as the national government would, since the national government provides funds for the either way. |

| Message | Just because someone providesfunding, does not mean that the funding gets to where it is earmarked to go. |
| Date | 23:19:04, July 29, 2008 CET | From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the Library Reform Act |
| Message | Of course it does, otherwise the local governments would be breaching statutory duty. |
| Date | 03:52:21, August 05, 2008 CET | From | Liberty Party | To | Debating the Library Reform Act |
| Message | No it does not Judicial Union. To believe that all money goes where it should is being blinded. |
| Date | 03:55:14, August 05, 2008 CET | From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the Library Reform Act |
| Message | Perhaps you are trying to suggest corruption or something, but there is no such thing in this government. |
| Date | 05:10:26, August 05, 2008 CET | From | Liberty Party | To | Debating the Library Reform Act |
| Message | How can one be so blind as to not see that every government has corruption. |
| Date | 06:21:45, August 05, 2008 CET | From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the Library Reform Act |
| Message | Then presumably the national government is equally as corrupt, so it wouldn't matter whether the libraries were administered by the local or the national government. |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
