| Message | I think the articles have switched themselves around, at the time I posted my last message Article1 was about Land Mines and Article2 was about Prisoners. So, we support prisoners being treated according to an international standard. But we don't support banning landmines. |

| Random quote: “The people's war isn't just a war of destruction, it is also a war of construction. We will build new facilities, new hospitals, new farms. We will seek to improve the lives of the people around us. This struggle will be as costly as the struggle against the bourgeois army, and indeed will be even more damaging to the enemy.” - Comrade X, former Hulstrian politician |
