| Message | I disagree with 2, 4 and 5. Specialy 5. Phones are overrated and nice people can live (and should live) without phone services. No need to spend money on thos luxuries. As with 4, we always say: "if someone is not making enough money is because they are not working hard enough... Or they are not Real Mordusians". |

| Message | We agree with 4 but the rest we do not, thus no. |
