| Message | Mr. Speaker, Whilst child labor is wrong, we only allow 16+ year olds to work in Dorvik and they must obtain written consent from their school, their parents and a physician before they can work. At age 18 they can legally work like a full adult, prior to age 18, during the 16 to 17 phase, they are restricted to as what they can do. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The reasoning of the honorable gentleman is sound. OOC: Does the game see it the same way? |

| Message | Mr Speaker, United Dorvik speaks of the child's right to choose, their ability to make personal decisions. Why, then, are they taking that very right away? From age 16, you should be allowed to work, with the additional regulations in place to ensure your safety. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Perhaps I did not explain myself properly. I did not believe that a child had the capacity to make personal decisions. I agree however, from age 16 a person should be allowed to work if they wish. I was not under the impression that this legislation affected "young adults". |
