| Message | This is not sufficient, individuals are still being forced to take a lesser paid civilian job instead of the military service. President Margaret Stonemason |

| Message | This is entirely based upon qualitication. If a young man is not physically eligible for military service, they have the opportunity to serve their nation through much needed civilian national service which can range anywhere from physical labor to internship in government facilities. Young women, on the other hand, are required for civilian national service, or, if they so choose and are qualified, military service. |

| Message | Madam President, I am mearly trying to envoke change and choice, Is it not better to move slowly towards a goal than to dig your heels in and ask for more and more until no compromise can be met? And as you point out we get our young men in uniform either way really... Edie Britt Parti d'Maison |

| Random fact: Players have a responsibility to differentiate between OOC (out-of-character) and IC (in-character) behaviour, and to make clear when they are communicating in OOC or IC terms. Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context. |
