| Message | We are against stripping people of civil liberties because some people don't know how to look the other way as well as the questionable results of so called studies. OOC: Just like polls I refuse to accept the results of any kind of study (regardless of if I like the results or not) unless more then half of the total populace of the group is included as it's the only way to be accurate. |

| Message | OOC: Actually, representative samples are very likely to be accurate. They take a representative sample of the population, which means that their results reflect the overall population. The sample is checked against census demographics for accuracy, and then studies are repeated over time to ensure the data is accurate. Polls are, in fact, relatively accurate. Just FYI. :P IC: We are opposed to stripping the people of such basic liberties as being allowed to follow their beliefs. If a conservative family wishes to raise their family in a conservative manner, then there should not be laws in place to keep that from happening. Local governments will have better ability to accurately enforce the will of their populations. |
