| Message | Those cuts are outragous! 5,000,00,000 DAR for enviroment and tourism? You trying to wreck the tourist industry and the future of Darnussia? 5,000,00,000 DAR for Science and Techonology? We will fall behind our competitiors in other nations, we will become a backwards nation! Massive cuts in education and Healthcare, the damage for both is obvious Defence getting more then Healthcare and Education is ludicious! So we can have a thick nation that are all in ill health, but at least we have nice shiny missles to murder people with HoG is seriously underfunded Large families are usually poor The other propisals will just increase inequality, poverty, expolitation of workers, crime |

| Message | Where were these objections when I was calling for discussion on this?! For those concerned with the size of the cuts to some industries, I would like to point this out: http://82.238.75.178:8085/particracy/main/viewbill.php?billid=37307 There will be no government subsidation of industry. There is also no subsidation of agriculture, and the space program is entirely private, finally healthcare has been largely privatized. |
| Date | 16:46:07, December 13, 2005 CET | From | Darnussian Strength Initiative | To | Debating the Economic Compromise and Stability Act of 2153 Part II: Expenses |
| Message | Also, the HoG, Foreign Affairs, Internal Affairs, and Finance are administrative, why would they need such large scale funding. |

| Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
| Random quote: "A democracy that does not allow limits is not a democracy. Just as a limitless freedom is not freedom, but prevarication. Indeed, any theory of freedom worthy of this name is first of all a limit theory. If we extend the unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not willing to defend a tolerant society against the attacks of the intolerants, then the tolerants will be destroyed and the tolerance with them! Because, I ask to myself and ask you, given a certain system that we call democratic, which is today the best possible system to allow everyone to live freely and to be able to express their own thoughts, how can the same system admit attacks against its integrity? How can a system refuse the principle of the self-preservation? For this reason, to suppress the apologetics of thalerrism, it's for this reason that the exaltation of exegetes, principles, facts or methods of Thallerism and its anti-democratic aims does not constitute a violation of the freedom of manifestation of thought, but, on the contrary, the celebration of that freedom. The protection of the first premise on which a modern democratic system is based. And this premise must be safeguarded also and above all against itself and its abuses." ~ Malik Astori, Leadership of Liberty and Progress (Istalia) |
