| Message | Mr, Speaker' ARTICLE 3 I will ask you this question. Will you want you daughter to be fanning around and about in the streets of this nation. These woman/men are paid by strangers on the street for them to have a sexual intercourse with them, and then they complain and plead to Human services and NHIVC (the National HIV and AIDS council) for help. Then they go back to the streets and do it all over again. Is this what the government wants to see on the streets. This is why Mr Speaker Prostitution should be outlawed. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, While we sympathize with your sediments it is imperative that local communities decide on this issue. We believe in federalism and that means we should respect the decisions of local communities though I can tell you no state or local branch of the UFP will legalize prostitution.

| Random fact: Players who consent to a particular role-play by acknowledging it in their own role-play cannot then disown it or withdraw their consent from it. For example, if player A role-plays the assassination of player B's character, and player B then acknowledges the assassination in a news post, but then backtracks and insists the assassination did not happen, then he will be required under the rules to accept the validity of the assassination role-play. |
| Random quote: "Colonialism or imperialism, as the slave system of the West is called, is not something that is just confined to England or France or the United States. The interests in this country are in cahoots with the interests in France and the interests in Britain. It's one huge complex or combine, and it creates what's known not as the American power structure or the French power structure, but an international power structure. This international power structure is used to suppress the masses of dark-skinned people all over the world and exploit them of their natural resources." Malcolm X |
