| Message | It has been proven it cost more to execute a prisoner than to keep them in prision for life. Students can be educated by age 18 and that should be the required age limit. Torture should never be allowed. Its cruel and inhumane. Local governments will manage their forests better if its in their backyard because it affects them. |

| Message | We agree with Articles 2 and 4. We do not agree that it is cheaper to hold people in prison than just executing them. We also believe torture for vital information where thousands of lives are on the line is a valid option as a last resort. |

| Message | OOC: People's Party: Maybe with all the sterilization and whatnot the US provides, however this is the Federation. I am not sure if we have defined the death penalty or execution, however it is surely cheaper than keeping someone in a jail cell fed, warm, etc. IC: We will be voting against this due to the objections aforementioned. |

| Message | Agree with the first 3 articles, but want the 4th changed back if this ball passes. |
