| Message | So if people won't rent to you your solution is to use the govt. to steal every bodies land to build you a house? How about you build your own house instead? |

| Message | How about you read the bill and realize that most housing will be owned privately or cooperatively, with minor state involvement for the sake of the poor? |

| Message | That is not what you describe in your plan here: "WE BELIEVE that if the white landlords will not give decent housing to our black community, then the housing and the land should be made into cooperatives so that our community, with government aid, can build and make decent housing for its people. " Nearly all of Beluzia and Bailon consists of bunker communes protected from invasion by every means possible. These are our gated communities which you presume to make "illegal". Currently houses are privately owned, but you want to change that. What else can be expected than the surface-dwelling shanty-towns and pirate ports being commandeered by landthieving Rutanian agents? Never shall Beluzia be conquered by the foriegn devils and their Marxist lies!!! |

| Message | I support the bill however I would like to point out that Beluzia has no history of racial prejudice. As for the PPP, the bill doesn't actually prevent the construction of underground communities, all it prevents is the potential exclusivity that can become a reality in such communities. |

| Message | ooc: I actually took the quote from the Black Panther Party 10-Point Program; I thought it was powerful and somewhat relevant. Obviously the nature of this bill in the game isn't racially prejudiced. |

| Message | Beluzia does have a history of animosity towards Rutania, and opposition to the foreign menace generally... |
