| Message | As soon as I get another proposal, I am also adding on lowering the age of majority to 16. I think 16 year olds can be gainfully employed, and are of sound mind and body to be considered adults... =) |

| Message | Well I don't think that 25 year old are, so will vote against despite the fact that you've included what you voted against yourself not too long ago... |
| Date | 14:54:03, December 20, 2005 CET | From | Socio-Democratic Union | To | Debating the Child Labor Prohibition Act |
| Message | Hum, I'm rather hesitant about majority's age... I don't think 16 is a good age, still a bit too young. |

| Message | OOH i see where you are going. You think that younger people should be allowed to work, but not 5 year olds.... ok. hmmm, I still think that Child labor should AT LEAST be allowed. Heavily regulated, yea sure why not. But by making it banned causes bigger problems in my opinion. I agree with the 16 age though. |

| Message | I dont think 16 years old should be considered adults. Also, i could vote for the first proposal, but i would vote for also for very regulated work (while it doesnt interfere with the education) |

| Message | What about now? It lets Children work fi they choose to, ensures their safety in employment, and lowers the age of majority. |

| Message | Well, I dont like the words unregulated, but support the proposal. Regardless, this one should pass moderately easily. However, I am going to save face with my ratings. You know the drill, If the bill is close to failure, Message me and I will gladly switch. |

| Message | * change "Unregulated" in the above post to "Regulated" But I think you guys knew me well enough to figure that out. |
