| Message | But it obviously isn't if we actually have to execute people for serious crimes. AND at the same time we are guilty of killing another human, does the executioner get a death sentence after he has "flicked the switch"? |

| Message | Oh, it may not be ENOUGH of a deterrent. But it's definitely a deterrent. If we need to, we can orchestrate executions like Ramn Sampedro did, so no one will be legally to blame. Not that I think it's necessary. Secondly, by having an army of any sort, we are guilty of having other human beings killed. It's significantly better than the alternative. |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
