| The National Fascisti proclaim: "Give the people what they want!" http://82.238.75.178:8085/particracy/main/viewnews.php?newsid=15630&nation=23 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ November 2130 Opinion Poll An opinion poll was held among the citizens of the Federal Union of Gaduridos. The subject of the opinion poll was Military Stance on Homosexuality When asked what their opinions were, the following choices were made: Percentage Choice 29.03% Homosexuality is not tolerated in the military. The military actively seeks to remove homosexuals from it. 24.88% Open homosexuality is not tolerated in the military. The military has a "don't ask, don't tell" policy. 46.09% Homosexuality is allowed in the military." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The National Fascisti are confident that of the 46.09% for allowing homosexuality in the military: *4% are the homosexual population *6% are the bisexual population *15% are the closet homosexual/bisexual population Taking into account this bias, only approximately 20% of the population is for allowing homosexuality in the military. The citizens of Gaduridos have officially declared their opposition to homosexuals in the military. Give the people what they want! |

| Message | Oh.... So the opinions of homosexuals shouldn't be taken into consideration? We side with the 50% of the population (not arbitrarily disregarding homosexuals) and disagree with this bill. I must warn you that homosexuals can vote as well, and they will not be happy with the way you cast them aside. |

| Message | The Totalitarian Party opposes this bill. Our latest ad campaign highlights our stance on the issue of homosexual rights. Thanks must go to the Liberty Coalition for making this campaign possible. http://img479.imageshack.us/img479/8343/tpcampaign017ca.png |

| Message | "Oh.... So the opinions of homosexuals shouldn't be taken into consideration? " Now you are finally starting to understand. We would also remind the CLP that they are siding with 46.09% of the population, not 50%; as opposed to the MAJORITY of 53.91% who are either against open homosexuality or homosexuality at all in the military, even without taking into account our very reasonable interpretation of the statistics. |

| Message | "Hey TP, those are not copyrighted images, are they? We do have a copyright law..." It isn't copyright on Terra. And besides, I've never heard of copyright being enforced on porn before, and far more porn gets illegally traded online than music does. But, to make the Liberty Coalition happy, the real copyright info: http://galleries.aimeesweet.com/aimee-sweet-1/ All images are copyright 2005 AimeeSweet.com. |
