| Message | This bill is immoral and anti-Ahmadist. Parents should not have to concern themselves with ensuring the protection of their children from sexually explicit content. The media having complete freedom to lie or scam the public with false accusations, fake news stories or straight up libel isn't only ridiculous, but dangerous to the people and the nation. |

| Message | Okay, I will revise the bill. I see that article two is not what is wanted right now. |

| Random quote: "I worked at a factory owned by Germans, at coal pits owned by Frenchmen, and at a chemical plant owned by Belgians. There I discovered something about capitalists. They are all alike, whatever the nationality. All they wanted from me was the most work for the least money that kept me alive. So I became a communist." - Nikita Khrushchev |
