| Message | Mr Speaker, I say to the SDP: You have to be kidding me! These laws are just perfect the way they are and I hope all other parties will join me in voting them down. Kaled Rico Minster of Justice |

| Message | Mr. Rico, I don't see why your party would want to support the conservatives' discriminatory bills that unfairly prevent LGBTs from being able to freely express their thoughts. How is liking others of the same sex a bad thing? |

| Message | Mr Speaker, (OOC: shouldnt he be politically neutral like in the UK?) LGBT people dont actually exist. They just act the way they do to provoke a reaction and it has become a bit of social trend to do so. Why should they have special rights? Kaled Rico Minster for Justice |

Where appropriate, they should also provide guidance to players on where to find help with translations and character names. This might include, for example, links to Google Translate, Behind the Name's Random Name Generator and Fantasy Name Generators. |
