Message | We have our concerns about Article 5, we feel schools should be allowed to decide on the matter. Despite being a Communist party we are revolutionary as we feel people have a right to religion as much as they have a right to jobs etc., however, the state comes before anything. |

Message | "State comes before anything"? ... that sounds like a religion to me. Nuncirism anyone? |

Message | The state is not a belief. It isn't a god either. How can the country in which people live in be a religion? You're making invalid claims once more. |

Random fact: Players have a responsibility to differentiate between OOC (out-of-character) and IC (in-character) behaviour, and to make clear when they are communicating in OOC or IC terms. Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context. |
