| Message | Mr Speaker, many of the other parties wish to create a nation, a world has degenerated into a dystopia where advertising, commercialism, and cultural anti-intellectualism run rampant and dysgenic pressure has resulted in a uniformly stupid human society devoid of individual responsibility or consequences. |
| Date | 05:15:14, February 15, 2010 CET | From | Union of Radical Republicans (UM) | To | Debating the Honest Advertisement Act (2891) |
| Message | Mme. Speaker, we fear the potential overreach of censorship powers included in this bill. Products are currently required to list all ingredients, processes, and potential hazards; the choice should be the consumer's, and the government's role to require the proper information be provided for that choice; this bill would censor, not regulate, the markets. |
