| Message | We will support without 6 or 7. 6 is a violation of individual rights, 7 is unneeded. There are already prayers in religious schools, prayers in a non-religious school is like a vegetarian at the table when all that is being served is meat with no side dishes. |

| Message | I'll get rid of Article 7, but I want Article 6. We will allow Nudist Colonies and Beaches, but someone walking down to the grocery store with no clothe on is just wrong. We need to espercially be concerned about males doing this, for a certain reason. |

| Message | I took away some proposals, and added a lot of new Articles. Review the new ones and get back to me. |
| Date | 03:22:06, December 17, 2005 CET | From | Revolutionary Freedom Party -- KEG SLAM | To | Debating the General Reforming Act |
| Message | Okay, what I don't like about article 1 is that it punishes people for having children. I'd prefer article 6 out, but if need be, it stays For article 9 (as it is now) can we add a rider that says that while some clothing must be worn, the government cannot in any way say what that clothing must be. I don't want it turning into requiring veils and burkas. Everything else, including article 9 with the addition that I just put in, I either support, can support, or can live with in the spirit of compromise. |
