From | Heradite Yunitou | To | Debating the Freedom Act-Ammended | | Message | 1) Fireworks: Individuals should have the right to buy Fireworks.
2) There should be a freedom to bear guns-thus if protection is needed more people can defend themselves.
3) Just in case we ever get any Illegal Aliens we should be ready for it. |

From | Inrala no Ikolowagitou (Green) | To | Debating the Freedom Act-Ammended | | Message | We are amused. To call a bill the "Freedom Act", and then aim it at such fundamental issues as the "right" to buy fireworks is hilarious. We commend the Heradites for their brave efforts to entertain us in the face of the international situation.

From | Heradite Yunitou | To | Debating the Freedom Act-Ammended | | Message | While we see your point we think that any responsible adult should be able to buy and use fireworks-such as to celebrate a birthday or perhaps a wedding. Something professionals tend not to have the time for.
Since most people like fireworks then this would cause barely any complaints and instructions could be given how to use a firework if needed. |

From | Liberal Party of Indrala | To | Debating the Freedom Act-Ammended | | Message | We found it most humerous that the Heredie Party wishes for citizens not to be able to desecrate the flag, but calls a bill aiming for more purchasing freedom of fireworks as a Freedom Act. |

From | Heradite Yunitou | To | Debating the Freedom Act-Ammended | | Message | Fireworks can show the support of your nation while burning the flag can't. Whiel fireworks can also be used not to support the nation at least they have a 50% chance.
Still most people can't afford professionals for special family events, and small towns or farming areas propably don't get to see fireworks often. |

From | Liberal Party of Indrala | To | Debating the Freedom Act-Ammended | | Message | This is a straight question and is not meant as an insult. Herarite, are you a Fundy? also, have you ever heard of Franco? We object to your support for lemming-like following of our nation. Patriotism is unobjectable, but when it turns into Jingoism we have something to worry about. |

From | Radical Democratic Party | To | Debating the Freedom Act-Ammended | | Message | There are no illegal aliens in Indrala because we have an open borders policy. All immigration is legal.
Also, both fireworks and weapons are dangerous to others. That's why we restrict their use to people who won't use them irresponsibly. |

From | Heradite Yunitou | To | Debating the Freedom Act-Ammended | | Message | Now I though the you said somewhere along this lines: you protect the freedom of the people but not what they do. And if that open-border policy changes?
LLP:
Franco? And about the Fundy part: We are a religious party. While some of our party is made up of Christianity we also have the other respectful religions of this country.
The bullying of other nations: Is celebrating a victory bullying? Well then when a sports team defeats another sports team there should be no vitory party! |

From | Inrala Panjoregu Kiokutou (DPP) | To | Debating the Freedom Act-Ammended | | Message | As far as we can see, the proposed firework policy actually restricts freedom. The current law allows anyone to buy fireworks, so long as they are small. That is why we see the complete deregulation of fireworks sales as not very radical: it would merely increase the range of fireworks that could be purchased. |

From | Liberal Party of Indrala | To | Debating the Freedom Act-Ammended | | Message | OOC: Franco was a Regressionary Fascist leader in the Spanish Civil War who gained most of his support from the Catholic Church, followed by Mousselini and Hitler.
We would like to know what constitutes a respectable Religion to you.
IC: We oppose all 3 proposals. |
| Date | 02:34:54, January 29, 2006 CET |
From | Heradite Yunitou | To | Debating the Freedom Act-Ammended | | Message | (OOC: I know who Franco is! You said it IC though.
We gather support from Budhists, Christains, and all other religions in the state of Indrala.)
IC: By opposing these three articles in our eyes that means you do not support these rights? |
| Date | 12:48:23, January 30, 2006 CET |
From | Liberal Party of Indrala | To | Debating the Freedom Act-Ammended | | Message | OOC: Can this go to vote so it is finally placed on the list of Ridiculous Proposals. I see The HerAdites are racking up so many they will soon need a file all to themselves. |
| Date | 07:36:47, February 01, 2006 CET |
From | Inrala no Ikolowagitou (Green) | To | Debating the Freedom Act-Ammended | | Message | We support putting it to the vote.
OOC: Please don't just leave it hanging in debate - that just clutters up the bill page to no good purpose. You can always re-propose it later if you ever do get support. Meanwhile putting it to the vote lets the voters know your position.

From | Populist Islamic Workers' League | To | Debating the Freedom Act-Ammended | | Message | This was a somewhat difficult decision for us, but we must oppose. We don't want people growing up without hands and eyeballs because they bought a massive firework when they were a kid. |
