Message | The military is not allowed to interefer for a reason! And how do you justify a petty theif being disinfranchised for the rest of his life if rehabilitation can be proven. |
Date | 02:07:20, December 19, 2012 CET | From | Kartenhaus | To | Debating the Judicial Strengthening Act |
Message | There is a place for military involvement in national emergencies. If the petty thief wishes to vote then he could get his record expunged. |
Date | 02:13:31, December 19, 2012 CET | From | Nationella Royalister | To | Debating the Judicial Strengthening Act |
Message | The civil police is sufficient in carrying out his duties. We will never approve this article, but we will approve of a resolution allowing the involvemnt of the Royal Homeland Guard upon approval of HRM the High KIng. As for the thief, that is both ineffective and detriemental to civil safety, as we cannot gurantee a person's behavior for the rest of their life. The right to both should be given to all who can prove they are useful members of society. Also, why should the government set up gated communities? Also, the national government can impose curfews: as HRM the HIGH KING can dictate the actions of the KINGS, who impose a curefew, he can impose curfews, but the current law allows for the curfews to be principally imposed by the local governments. |

Message | Also, the government does not intervene in reproduction unless it involves murder. |
Date | 02:15:25, December 19, 2012 CET | From | Nationella Royalister | To | Debating the Judicial Strengthening Act |
Message | And we cannot afford to supply contraceptives without endangering our surplus, which our government is depending upon. |
Date | 02:23:01, December 19, 2012 CET | From | Kartenhaus | To | Debating the Judicial Strengthening Act |
Message | I don't understand your point about the thief. |
Date | 02:29:29, December 19, 2012 CET | From | Kartenhaus | To | Debating the Judicial Strengthening Act |
Message | By allowing subsidized birth control we insure that those who cannot afford birth control do not have children therefore ending the cycles of crime and poverty present in our society. |
Date | 02:32:12, December 19, 2012 CET | From | Kartenhaus | To | Debating the Judicial Strengthening Act |
Message | These gated communities are a precaution to any further rebellion which may in fact become a real possibility of you look at the legistlation proposed by the poorly named Tolstoy party. The current law does the opposite allowing extremists to barricade their communities in preperation for an unknown event. |
Date | 02:36:15, December 19, 2012 CET | From | Nationella Royalister | To | Debating the Judicial Strengthening Act |
Message | You have no proof of crime and povery existing in our society that would justify this. In fact, Telamon is one of the SAFEST nations on Terra and has one of the highest standards of living. Also, we do not plan for rebellion in this manner. It is against our culutre. |
