| Message | The government should subsidize independent non profit making cooperatives for educational and informational purposes; other private non-subsidized TV stations are allowed. The legal age for an Adult should be increased to 18 because citizens are more mature, And as a God fearing christian i feel that abortions are only allowed in medical emergencies with the consent of the mother choice. |

| Message | Abortion isn't a religious issue, but this doesn't invalidate your position. However, even with medical emergencies, abortion can be avoided through different therapies. OOC You should look into William E. May's bioethics for numerous examples and explanations. |

| Message | the government subsidises independent non profit making cooperatives for educational and informational purposes is a great ideal to keep people informed and educated. for example WJXT shows educational programs for children and keeps the citizens informed on Government issues |
| Date | 18:24:51, August 24, 2010 CET | From | The Union Party | To | Debating the UPR Bill |
| Message | and on the issue of the age at which a person is considered an adult, should be increased from 17 to 18 becasue people are more mature and less prone to make dumb decisions. |

| Message | Unfortunately, we cannot agree with these issues. Any of them. 1)The media will give people what they want, and if that's news, that's what they'll get. 2)There are people far younger than 17 who have the wisdom of the elders and some far above 17 who have the foolishness of toddlers. The "adult" age is fine where it is. 3)A life is a life, circumstance doesn't matter. If I were sitting in the kitchen making a sandwich, am I more alive than when I'm in the ICU? As a "God fearing christian", you should acknowledge that life is life, regardless of the period of time. 4)If people don't plan ahead for their own future, it's their own fault. How else are we to build a strong and wise population without letting them feel the consequences of their own inaction? |

| Message | Country's spokesperson? I'm merely stating a fact. And by we, I mean the 45 seats our party occupies in legislature. As well as the majority of the legislature that has already voted against you at this time. |
