Message | Do you really want to give corporations an opportunity to make people have to pay them to dispose of waist?! I mean, as much money it would save us, imagine this. A small family, living up in the projects. They can barely even pay for food, and a few mothers and fathers are all that is keeping their family from dying. One day they stop paying their waste bill out of need. And next thing they know, they are literally having to worry about where their own feces is going. Let your own conscious deal with this, mine will not stand for this. |

Message | Much better, but now they can dump the waste directly into natural bodies of water. Unless there is some regulation I don't know about, and there may be one. If so, this is fine. If not, this is a terrible idea. |

Random fact: Cultural Protocol bills must provide a real-life equivalent or short description for the ethnic groups, languages and religions contained in them, such that it would be easy for an unfamiliar player to understand (e.g. "Dundorfian = German"). Where appropriate, they should also provide guidance to players on where to find help with translations and character names. This might include, for example, links to Google Translate, Behind the Name's Random Name Generator and Fantasy Name Generators. |
