| Message | Bull crap! Like hell you want to create free speech and free debate! Even if you did, youd probly make your opposition face the executioner at the end of it. Without advertising, people arnt taught that drinking is cool! Without advertising, people arnt taught that drugs are cool! Without advertising, people arnt taught that sex is cool! Without advertising, people arnt taught that pointless consumerism is cool! We want our people to decide what the best products are without having some dick saleman force it down their throats! We want to curb the trend of sex, consumerism, drinking and drugs and bring the national statistics in all these down. |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
