| Message | Allowing them to work would be one thing. Making their work completely unregulated (no health and safety, no minimum wage, no maximum working hours, no working conditions, no restrictions at all on how they can be treated) is quite another! |
| Date | 01:31:50, December 16, 2005 CET | From | Progressive Conservatives | To | Debating the Re-introduction of Child Labour Act |
| Message | We'd prefer to allow child labour, but with regulations. |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, it is the responsibility of players to ensure the candidate boxes on their Party Overview screens are filled in with appropriate names. If a player is allotted seats in a Cabinet bill and has not filled in names for the relevant candidate position, then the program will automatically fill in the positions with names which might not necessarily be appropriate for the Cultural Protocols. |
| Random quote: "The moral justification of capitalism does not lie in the altruist claim that it represents the best way to achieve 'the common good.' It is true that capitalism does, if that catch-phrase has any meaning, but this is merely a secondary consequence. The moral justification for capitalism lies in the fact that it is the only system consonant with man's rational nature, that it protects man's survival qua man, and that its ruling principle is justice." - Ayn Rand |
