| Message | And by being nude in public, I could give some easily startled old lady a heart attack. Yet, we've recently allowed public nudity. |

| Message | Smoking in public would still be legal, just in places of employment where workers can find it hard to escape from it. |

| Message | Smoking should be allowed everywhere, and for everyone. The government should not be allowed to tell people how to run their lives. |

| Message | This leglislation is here to protect citizens of the Kundrati Union, why can't people just walk outside to smoke in a place of employment as its your choice to smoke and not other peoples. "The government should not be allowed to tell people how to run their lives." We should have no regulation on waste disposal then and let people dump it where ever suits them, with no thoughts to how this will affect other people now or in the long term. Leglislation like this is needed for protection of people and does not append on civil rights. |

| Message | Now that you mention it, the waste disposal laws are far too tight. Liberty to the people! :D |

| Message | If we let anybody do anything then the country would be a massive waste dump and land would be worthless. Animal and plant populations would find it hard to exist when many are been killed for a quick dollar which also affects the national ecological system. Sometimes a look forward needs to be taken to prevent such disasters. |

| Message | Seriously, I don't think we'll support this. |
