| Message | The society this bill calls for is anything but civil. Whilst some of this isnt vastly terrible, for instance whilst we disagree with the state ownership clauses, we accept our coalition allies would probably vote yes on them. However, this tramples all over the concepts of individual liberty, and wants to bring back a form of criminal punishment better suited to, and left in, the 1600s. More than a thousand years of progress in terms of freedom of religion, free speech, freedom of assembly and freedom from cruel and unused punishment would be wiped away. |

| Message | These "freedoms" you speak of are nothing more than wanton depravity and recklessness which strikes against the core of our nation's safety and integrity. In order to ensure security, these liberal policies must be abandoned. |

| Message | Needless to say, this will only bring about a horrible autocratic government, oppressing civilians. We know that this bill shall never be passed in Ikradon. The TGSU has shown here what kind of sick, backward-minded control-freak they are. |
