| Date | 19:51:14, June 12, 2013 CET | From |  States' Rights Democratic Party | To | Debating the TSK.0096.3499 |
| Message | 1. Kill the fetuses, but those whales aren't dead! 2. Let gays recruit and confuse innocent children. 3. Forbid the people's right to control alcohol around them. 4. Forbid capitalistic details to help families rise out of poverty and derpive the right of the people to control and decide on this issue. 5. Allow conflicts of interest by letting criminals elect whoever punishes them less. 6. No opinion. 7. Corrupt and pervert the military by bringing sex into a force designed to defend Sekowo. 8. "Integration centers"? You mean wussy re-education zones where we wag our finger at illegals and give them a time out, then pay to have them stay in Sekowo? 9. Ah, so we'll weaken the ability of Sekowo to defend herself and make her more prone to danger. You TOTALLY care about the people. 10. Legalize incest, legalize homosexuality, legalize everything but pedopjhilia. You must be really fun at parties. 11. Steal from the people the right to decide if they want dope or not. Genius! Less freedom! 12. Hooray! Free money to everyone! It's not like taxes will go up! 13. A person interested in legalizing nudity probably wants to go streaking themselves. 14. Yes, because we SHOULDN'T have a suppyl of life-saving organs to aid the sick and dying in this country. 15. It's obviously wrong to make criminals fear justice and deter them. Are you the party of the convicts or the Sekowen people? 16. Yes, because making a terrorist's head wet is a BAD THING if it saves lives. 17. I knew you'd be butt hurt about me stealing your copy of "Playboy". Anyone who votes for porn has a clear and obvious reason to do so. 18. Let me guess. You're mad that I closed your sex business. Anyone who votes for porn has a clear and obvious reason to do so. 19. HEY, LET'S MAKE SMARTER CRIMINALS. THEN THEY CAN STEAL EVEN BETTER. 20. Let's just turn prison into a hotel while we're at it. When we let them out, they'll be back! 21. Brilliant! Poison the people in body AND in mind! 22. Excellent. The Sekowan people are clearly to idiotic to think and elect for themselves what to do. 23. Porn is good! Patriotism is bad! 24. Porn is good! Morality is bad! 25. The school has the right to decide, because drinking from your own water fountain is SO HORRIBLE. 26. Let's indoctrinate our children into ebcoming nymphophilliacs, because letting parents decide what is good and what is bad is TOTALLY AGAINST CIVIL RIGHTS. Don't question the government, eh? 27. Anyone who votes for porn has a clear and obvious reason to do so. 28. Again, you must really have a lot of fun when you're home alone. 29. Anyone who votes for porn has a clear and obvious reason to do so. Do you do this at home too? 30. The people of Sekowo are obviously too stupid to think for themselves and control tobacco. 31. Well, aren't we the championing of spawning spoiled, perverted, bratty kids with no respect for authority. It makes more Party members for you! 32. Save the whales, kill the fetuses! You are a sorry man. |
