| Message | We actually support the first two articles of the bill. But because the RRP has once again decided to dictate what is appropriate for the people using their own morals as a justifcation, the PPP finds this unacceptable. |

| Message | Once again, we do not dictate our "own" opinions, we make a proposal supported by our voters! Maybe you should have tried art rather than politics. Stefan Barna RRP |

| Message | I won't waste my time on every Article of this Bill, but for example the last article on prostitution. These are your morals at work here. If we make this illegal, does the prostitution go away? No. It goes underground and becomes a horrible racket. Then we see prostitutes raped like they haven't when they were recognized as a profession. We see an influx of STI's infesting our streets because these women no longer have a need to practice safe business standards. I'm not advocating for our communities to see legal prostitutes, however I want these women to be safe if they choose this profession, and I want the sorry sould who see them to be safe as well. |

| Message | This is not our morals at work, this is pure logic. Please tell me how a legal prostitute profession can be good for the people of Telamon? |

| Message | Did you not read my message above? I will not re-write it. Perhaps the words need to be smaller? Your idea of how the world should act is a nice little dream however the world is not as nice. Prostitution will not go away if we just decide to make it illegal. It goes underground to a dark and cruel world. If we can provide a safe environment for the women who decide to follow this line of work and for the sorry patrons who visit them then we can at least know that they are safe. |

| Message | Listen, you say that it makes racket in the underground and that we should legalize it, in other words, put it above the ground. There are many things in the underground which you can decide to make legal. Lets clear the underground and legalize all what that scum down there does. That is not solving the problem, it is worsening it! Stefan Barna RRP |
