| Message | Child benefit keeps Aldegarian children from being under-taken-care of, from having economically stressed up and abusive parents, and growing up to be healthy. |
| Date | 19:01:33, March 07, 2010 CET | From | rEvolution | To | Debating the Child Benefit |
| Message | We agree with what the Greens say, under the current circumstances. We would never dream of taking away child benefit without also preventing the poor from reproducing in the first place. OOC: you know, visibility and that stuff... |
| Date | 00:24:03, March 08, 2010 CET | From | Centrist Humanum Party | To | Debating the Child Benefit |
| Message | We do not see the reason to get rid of child benefit for the sake of reducing procreation rates in poor families. We do not see any viable arguments against child benefit or against the rate of procreation in poor families. Aldegar only ranks 13th for world population and 15th for population density. http://classic.particracy.net/ranking.php?limit=100000&topic=nationsbypopulation |
