| Message | No resources are being wasted on keeping people out of the nation. A few minimal cursory checks do no harm and make it less likely for people who have a history of violent criminalities as a result of mental illness's like schizophrenia to enter the nation at any time they please. |

| Message | You know you don't need to support random crap just so you remain "internally consistent" with what true "Liberarian-Socialism" is; you can actually just support what makes more sense. |

| Message | Like, I don't try to maintain a political perspective that fits what the "textbook definition", if there is such a thing, of what the meaning of "Libertarian" means. And perhaps Libertarian isn't even the best word to use to name my party, because I think that a lot of the economic positions that many, and perhaps the majority of contemporary libertarians take stem from fundamental premises that are inconsistent with reality. |

| Message | Not that purposefully playing the role of a party with political ideas that you don't actually necessarily agree with is something I would never do or haven't done at times during this game; I'm just not sure that is the reason you are taking the positions you do. |

| Message | This also doesn't mean that I necessarily agree with any of the positions that I take while playing this game, but it also doesn't mean opposite. Thats something I will keep to myself. |
