Date | 21:10:07, July 24, 2013 CET | From | People's Assistance Association | To | Debating the Return to Telamon Policy |
Message | I would agree with this bill entirely, except for Article One. Adoption should be left to private organizations, not the government. |
Date | 21:26:34, July 24, 2013 CET | From | Liberty Party of Telamon | To | Debating the Return to Telamon Policy |
Message | The government is involved to ensure that only good families are being created through adoption and so that adoption rates stay low, allowing for more adoptions. Leaving adoption to the private industry is dangerous, especially when it's one of the only parts of the healthcare industry that isn't nationalized. |
Date | 21:28:56, July 24, 2013 CET | From | People's Assistance Association | To | Debating the Return to Telamon Policy |
Message | I wouldn't consider adoption part of the healthcare system. I believe that adoption will be much more efficient if the private sector handles it, and not to mention charitable industries, such as churches and philanthropists. |
Date | 21:35:03, July 24, 2013 CET | From | Liberty Party of Telamon | To | Debating the Return to Telamon Policy |
Message | The Liberty Party supports an efficient but responsible government. Providing free healthcare, education, and freedom under law for everybody living in Telamon are among many of the responsibilities of our government. Making sure our congressmen are well-fed and well-paid is a luxury. Furthermore, the reason we place adoption under healthcare is because when children are in adoption centers, unlike children born to their parents, they're currently waiting for a family and require care. Therefore the nationalized healthcare system should be involved in the process of adoption. |
Date | 22:53:02, July 24, 2013 CET | From | People's Assistance Association | To | Debating the Return to Telamon Policy |
Message | I will vote against this bill unless some consensus on adoption can be reached. As a compromise, I propose that instead of the current provision, the Liberty Party should propose a middle ground. |
Date | 23:17:00, July 24, 2013 CET | From | Liberty Party of Telamon | To | Debating the Return to Telamon Policy |
Message | How about we allow local governments to decide adoption policy? Therefore, the federal government can subsidize local governments who choose to have their adoption under government authority, and other local governments can choose to leave it to established organizations. |
Date | 23:38:39, July 24, 2013 CET | From | People's Assistance Association | To | Debating the Return to Telamon Policy |
Message | I will agree with this. |
Date | 23:44:04, July 24, 2013 CET | From | Liberty Party of Telamon | To | Debating the Return to Telamon Policy |
Message | Alright, I've changed the policy. Are we ready to vote? |
Date | 23:49:10, July 24, 2013 CET | From | People's Assistance Association | To | Debating the Return to Telamon Policy |
Message | I am ready to vote. |
Date | 23:59:58, July 24, 2013 CET | From | Liberty Party of Telamon | To | Debating the Return to Telamon Policy |
Message | This is where bi-partisan politics can get us, a center ground where everyone can agree. |
