| Message | Suretsu claims that it "has respect for tradition at it;s very core." And yet it proposes to change the definition of adulthood that Sekowans have known and loved for generations! What respect of tradition is that? |

| Message | It is extremely ridiculous that everyone is adult. Use common sense! Yokos! Even a 3 months old baby who knows nothing is regarded as adult! That's why the Yokos are pulling our country towards death! |

| Message | Many of our laws already distinguish between adults and children, for example the nation's current position on the age of consent sets this out. The problem is that at the moment having two laws that contradict each other could provide a loop hole. Consider the age of consent. If a person sleeps with someone under the age of consent, which law applies? The law that all people are adults regardless of age, or the law that says a person cannot give their consent until they are a certain age. This bill is simply a matter of legal consistency and has nothing to do with an attack on tradition. |

| Message | "This violates Sekowo's finest traditions, and goes against the will of the People. Though the National Conservatives and Sūretsu may avail us with bizarre claims that a 3 month old baby is not an adult, that goes against the beliefs held firmly and deeply, with conviction, by Sekowans for centuries." - Kodos Fairname |

| Random fact: It is not allowed to call more than 5 elections in 5 game years in a nation. The default sanction for a player persisting in the early election tactic will be a seat reset. |
