| Message | Another reason for this is so that we can protect our civilians and the segregate them from the perpetrators that infest this Republic. If this is not needed, why do we have crime? |
| Date | 12:09:23, September 07, 2008 CET | From | Liberal Republican Party | To | Debating the Justice Reform Act |
| Message | We vote no, as it is very much a totalitarian bill. |
| Date | 16:48:43, September 07, 2008 CET | From | Chidan Party | To | Debating the Justice Reform Act |
| Message | These articles undermine the basic human right to freedom, the freedom of the people from their government. We don't believe in torture, it only shows incompetency on behalf of the government and we don't believe in state sponsored murder. We believe however, that other people should be able to enjoy the same level of freedom our own people are lucky enough to enjoy and so, believe our borders should be open. If "illegals" were integrated into society, were thus able to get jobs and work, everyone would be better off, economically anyway. |
