| Message | With the current retirement age set at 70 (which was raised from 62 I believe), there would have been a restructuring of the job markets (though without the economy set up we would never know to what extent). The extra 2 years of education would be used to prepare people for the future, whatever type of employment they should wish for, in an environment to which they are already acostomed. Post 16 education would consist (for those 2 years) of those students being able to try differing forms of employment in a apprenticeship format or, should students wish to continue on to University, a scholastic format. It would also mean that students would be more highly educacted, providing those educated within the Hobrazian school system an automatic advantage over those of other Countries, would will be extremely beneficial to us when we finally get the economic system in place. |

| Date | 13:55:00, May 08, 2005 CET | From | Left Communist Party | To | Debating the Education Act: Article 1. Age. |
| Message | No, because we feel that education takes up a large enough slice of life anyway. We must give the citizens time to have a good independant life! |
| Date | 18:23:11, May 08, 2005 CET | From | We Say So! Party | To | Debating the Education Act: Article 1. Age. |
| Message | Citizens would have from 18 without education, how is this negatively effecting their life? |
