| Message | Recycling is a materially inefficient process with only a few exceptions; logically the private sector will move into those areas where it makes sense to recycle (aluminum for example) and won't waste our time or money on those where it's a wasteful activity. Seemingly the TCP likes wasteful activity though. And we're surprised that the Radicals would support legislation that forces people to recycle at the point of a gun; not very freedom orientated. Leonard Nozick Jr. Party Leader Telamon Minarchist Party |
| Date | 19:33:38, August 08, 2008 CET | From | Radical Party | To | Debating the Recycling Act |
| Message | After a compelling argument from Rodfram Leonard Nozick Jr. we have amended our vote. The quest for a greener economy should not sacrifice personal freedom, we must aim towards a middle ground. Rodfram Stresseman Party Leader |
| Date | 12:14:07, August 09, 2008 CET | From | Democratic Capitalist Delegation | To | Debating the Recycling Act |
| Message | We would support offering voluntary recycling, but compulsory systems are rarely supported by our party. Daunte Woodson Chairman Democratic Capitalist Delegation |

| Random fact: In cases where players introduce RP laws to a nation and then leave, Moderation reserves the discretion to declare the RP laws void if they appear to have fallen into disuse. In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left. |
