| Message | Without a government there will only be anarchy. Anarchy is not a good thing. Cause that means that you can do whatever you want. Like that car? Steal it. Like that girl? Rape her. Hate her boyfriend? Kill him. Who's going to stop you? There is no order anymore. This is why Communism is evil, it's messes with your head. |

| Message | LIA, you assume the worse of everyone! If someone was going to kill another person, do you not think for one second they would do it and then cover up their tracks?! Hmm, wait... thats what they always do! Police do NOT stop a killer from killing, however, only catch the killer! The police do NOT stop a rapist from raping, however, bring the rapist to justice. The police do NOT stop a car from being stolen, however, find the car and return it to their owner. The police are not in the homes of every man and woman in order to stop them from doing crime, theirfor, crime will ALWAYS be commited away from the public eye - police or no police. Besides, take a look at Coburas current crime levels! Is their really much to lose? |

| Message | I assume the worst of everyone because that is all I have ever seen of the majority of people. Human beings are inherently evil and greedy creatures that can only truly function in systems of government and economy that reflect that. |

| Message | What junk! If humans are greedy, how the HELL does our voluntary civilian police force work? How are after school clubs made? How are small sports clubs or activity outings made? These are all voluntary and people have no reason to set up such things other then to help their fellow man and enjoy themselfs! |
