| Message | VBS, there were other issues besides this one. If you put too many issues in one bill, than you will have people that don't agree with what all the bill says and will rightly vote agianst it. As for my feelings on this, you can read it up in the last debate I had with SSP over this proposal. |

| Message | VBS I told you that I didn't support all your articles and I'm not going to vote for something that I don't fully agree with. We've all told you to introduce your bills with single articles and you took no ntice, so we're entitled to submit our own bills with the articles we like. |
