| Message | Can you explain why article 4 is necessary? |
| Date | 22:34:27, December 02, 2005 CET | From | Democratic Socialist Front | To | Debating the KP discovers our regions |
| Message | Article 1- What is wrong with selling alcohol in licensed shops? I think they are much better dealers than some random guy that can do god knows what to the beverage. If adults want to sell alcohol they should get a license. Plain and simple. Article 2- Why give this miniscule job over to the national government when the local governments can easily do it? Lets get all of these small things out of the way of the national government so they can consider more important agendas. Article 3- I think the local governments know more about their fire prevention/ combating needs than the national government. If things get to out of hand, they can ask the national government for help as always Article 4- Why is this neccesary? The foriegn missionaries allready pledge not to harrass unwilling Endralonians at the ministry of foriegn affairs. Why ban them? What good will this do? Article 5- I disagree with the whole concept of gated communities. People shouldnt wall themselves off from the rest of the world. But thats just DSF's beliefs Article 6- If the war is just and worth fighting you shouldnt worry about conscripting anyone, but if there are questions about the war, a person should not be forced to go and possibly give his/her life for something they dont agree with/ dont understand. Article 7- All humans are equal to the world and should be able to live in our part of the world as free citizens if they pass the test. Article 8- we cant immediatly force all car owners without environmentaly friendly vehicals to change immediatly to environentaly friendly vehicles. It would be a burden on the poor and the middle class who all ready in most cases cant afford the environmentaly friendly cars, i say we keep it as it is for now untill much more people fall for the tax incentives and other bonuses of having a earth friendly vehicle. This way the change doesnt happen as fast and catastrophicaly for some. Article 9, 10- I agree, people should be free to do whatever they want no matter how unhealthy it is to their own body, as long as it doesnt harm anyone else. |

| Message | SoS supports Article 8 (which would be implemented in a programme allowing car owners to change their engines or trade for new cars over a period before their old vehicles are made illegal) but opposes the rest. |
