| Message | All of these bills are nonsensical. Not allowing men to initiate divorce allows abusive wives to get away with it. It also puts women above men, not at equal footing. Censorship of the internet goes against the basic freedoms of Dorvik, which we must uphold. In Dorvik, you have the right to express yourself and speak freely. All opinions are welcome here. I will not even try to block up the ridiculous idea that everyone should be able to claim that they are Dorvish. Immigration is a good thing when the immigrants are skilled, but it is a bad thing when they are not skilled and will simply come to claim state welfare. Hiring quotas are unfair and immoral. The most qualified person should always get the job, or else we just tell young men in our society that they matter for less, regardless of their credentials. Ada von Kurtz Renewal Representative |
