| Message | Christ, this is the terrorist allowance bill, surely. This enables not only to have them living here, but to coke themselves up, and swallow all amounts of liquids to turn themselves into ticking time bombs! Well against. |

| Message | So you want us to become a terrorist home base? Besides, EVERY nation is a target - make a big impact in a small place and you're already in the big-time. |

| Message | Just because we permit people to live here does not mean we permit them to break laws. Our nation should permit those wishing to start fresh the opportunity. If they pose a problem they can be handled then. Some have commit crimes due to oppressive regimes, misunderstandings of laws or other unusual circumstances. These people may easily adapt to Malivia and become productive members of our society, so why are we banning them. It is far better to permit them to join our nation and start over then to punish them for their actions in circumstances that we are not subjected to. Thus we propose that any person be given a chance in Malivia to become a productive member of society. If they become a problem then we punish them not before. |

| Message | People are far more likely to become terrorists if we oppress them with unnecessary restrictions on their civil liberties. |

| Message | I quite like. |
