| Message | Forcing people to take pensions? This is the most astounding capitalist bullshit I've seen for some time! The fact remains that poor people have little money to give "voluntarily" to private companies in order to have a pension, therefore that State MUST provide a public pension. |

| Message | We also take not of your double-standards: you consider forcing people to get shot for their country not an infringement upon their rights, but you do consider not letting people starve an infringement upon civil rights. :rolleyes: |

| 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 Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
