| Message | I see that, for you, freedom has mainly to do with economic "freedom". We, on the other hand, view freedom as consisting in both individual and communal liberties. Being free from the fear of unregulated medicines, foods and other important products is one basic example of a freedom you would not recognize. It's also ironic that you would position yourself as a champion of "freedom" when you are simultaneously proposing to strip those of non-heterosexual orientations of many of their freedoms, including the right even to have legal sexual relations. You ought to change the "Libre" part of your name to "Enchaîné". |

| Random fact: Did you know you can change the official name of your nation? All you need to do is draw up a new name that is in accordance with the Nation Renaming Guide, pass a bill proposing the name change with a two-thirds majority and then post a request to Moderation on the "Renaming Requests" thread. You can change city and region names in this way too. |
