Date | 20:39:30, February 16, 2016 CET | From | Vanguard Communist Party | To | Debating the Civil Liberties Devolution Act 3984 |
Message | What "states rights" really means is the systematic taking away of rights guaranteed by the Central Government based on local prejudices. We cannot support these ridiculous proposals. |
Date | 23:59:12, February 16, 2016 CET | From | Bailonese Council Communist Party (BCCP) | To | Debating the Civil Liberties Devolution Act 3984 |
Message | On the contrary, it means giving states the power to dictate their own laws and therefore their own rights. |
Date | 00:18:42, February 17, 2016 CET | From | Vanguard Communist Party | To | Debating the Civil Liberties Devolution Act 3984 |
Message | So some communities will have task forces rounding up parents and forcing abortions because that particular state deems them unfit? Or a couple who decides to engage in sodomy(which is not just for gay people, sodomy is any form of oral sex or anal sex between a Hetero couple) while on vacation in another state and they be arrested for what they do behind closed doors? Or arresting couples for kissing in public? How can anyone support these proposals when the possible consequences for every BELUZIAN could be adversely affected by your zeal to roll back the rights of ALL our citizens!? |
Date | 00:21:01, February 17, 2016 CET | From | Vanguard Communist Party | To | Debating the Civil Liberties Devolution Act 3984 |
Message | How can we call ourselves a civilized nation with draconian measures such as these? |
Date | 15:18:37, February 17, 2016 CET | From | Bailonese Council Communist Party (BCCP) | To | Debating the Civil Liberties Devolution Act 3984 |
Message | It is civilized to ban immoral behaviour, only pro-sodomite parties such as yours see otherwise. We want to give locals the freedom to choose whether or not to enact certain laws. The Vanguard Communist Party believes they can determine the laws of locals. |
Date | 17:55:36, February 17, 2016 CET | From | Vanguard Communist Party | To | Debating the Civil Liberties Devolution Act 3984 |
Message | Immoral by whose standards? Yours? When we start legislating morality we start down a slippery slope. If you don't agree with it, don't do it. It's really as simple as that. But your party and your supporters have no right to force your morals on others. It is disgusting and dispicable that you think that you can. |
Date | 19:15:11, February 17, 2016 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the Civil Liberties Devolution Act 3984 |
Message | Actually by devolving the powers to local government they are NOT forcing their views on to citizens. It is in fact your party hell bent on ruinous centralisation that is forcing its views on all local communities by removing their right to decide some of their own local laws. |
Date | 21:19:58, February 17, 2016 CET | From | Bailonese Council Communist Party (BCCP) | To | Debating the Civil Liberties Devolution Act 3984 |
Message | Excellent response, Conservative Party, the Vanguards need to realize they are in fact the ones trying to oppress laws onto the communities. We, and other pro-decentralization parties wish to give the power back to the locals where they belong. So, the Vanguards believe everything should be legal or just things they approve of? Don't tell us not to "impose our morals" onto communities when your party is the one proposing we centralize policy. Yes, our party promotes certain laws that communities should follow by, but we also promote the right for communities to determine their own laws. |
