Message | Mr. Speaker, That may be, but what about the right for the citizens to know what products are in their food? What if I'm allergic to a certain chemical in the food from the GMO yet, I'm not allowed to know wether or not I'm going to have a reaction to it? This is taking away the rights of the many to give to the few. Eric Richardson Leader of the Liberal Progressives |

Message | Mr. speaker, I would reply to that obscenely inaccurate comment from the conservative liberals but I'm afraid that I'm still laughing from it's lack of factuality. Welcome to a debate with the HSP Mr. Richardson, we burn strawman arguments like heathens. I yield |

Random fact: Players have a responsibility to differentiate between OOC (out-of-character) and IC (in-character) behaviour, and to make clear when they are communicating in OOC or IC terms. Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context. |
