Message	We like the idea of a change and the direction that you're heading, however, it's still not quite powerful enough... as strange as this may sound, the lack of capital letters for first and foremost detracts as well. Mottos triumphant over grammar! We'll think of a few suggestions, and hopefully others will too.

Message	This is rather unnecessary.

To	Debating the National Motto
Message	Come on- Unity, Freedom, Prosperity is weak, and Gaduridos is not weak. The capitals are a good idea.

From	Traxian Imperial Party
To	Debating the National Motto
Message	How about above instead of before, before shows we may have been one of the first but not one of the strongest.

Date	12:00:20, December 06, 2005 CET
From	People's Progressive Party
To	Debating the National Motto
Message	Actually, "Unity, Freedom, Prosperity!" is strong since it embraces the strong values our nation stands for in making its citizens lives better. "Gaduridos Before All Others!" is just egotistical and arrogant without any regards for our citizenry.

From	Nationalist Party of Gaduridos
To	Debating the National Motto
Message	We agree with the Trax Party's sentiments, 'Above', is preferable.

From	National Fascisti
To	Debating the National Motto
Message	"Gaduridos Before All Others" sounds like something a Japanese giant robot would say in an Engrish accent.

From	Totalitarian Party
To	Debating the National Motto
Message	Above is good. Goes well with our anthem.

Date	21:23:46, December 06, 2005 CET
From	Progressive Imperial Party
To	Debating the National Motto
Message	It has been changed to above. We are now moving to vote.

Date	21:26:47, December 06, 2005 CET
From	United Soviet Party
To	Debating the National Motto
Message	We disagree and feel the old motto was better

Date	15:37:11, December 07, 2005 CET
From	Progressive Imperial Party
To	Debating the National Motto
Message	How can you find the old motto was better? This may not be ganz terriffic, but it sure beats three weak adjectives separated by commas. Boring, Dull, Lifeless!

From	Progressive Imperial Party
To	Debating the National Motto
Message	Oops, those were substantive, not adjectives. But the point still stands.
