| Message | Articles 1 through 4 are a matter of centralization or devolution, and the People of Pontesi will decide these matters on our own without Selucian influence. Furthermore, Article 5 is a flagrant atrocity and an attempt to re-ignite the genocide against the Pntek people and other non-Selucian minorities. The NLA condemns the SLP for proposing this bill. Clearly the SLP has taken a side in this civil war and have declared themselves enemies of the Pontesi state. |
| Date | 05:25:32, January 07, 2012 CET | From | Medrisite-Associated Revisionist Council | To | Debating the No Freedom - No Good |
| Message | You entitle your bill "No Freedom - No Good" and yet include an article (Article V) which legalizes slavery and the slave trade. The M.A.R.C. will never support neither slavery nor the slave trade. No man of Pontesi shall ever be enslaved. |
