| Message | Of course children have the right to a childhood but they also have the right to gain valuable work experience and feeling proud about their first well-earned money. As we also requiere children to visit school, we do not see a conflict of interest there. Earl von Nord, Education Minister |
| Date | 21:48:23, March 12, 2019 CET | From | Hosian Democratic Alliance | To | Debating the The Children's Act |
| Message | You do not require children to visit school, that is rather the point http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=596006 Are we to assume from the phrase "As we also requiere children to visit school" the Minister will now vote in favour of the Education Act or is this just another case of a member of the government not knowing what they are talking about? |

| Message | As there is a obvious majority in favour of the quoted act we already took actions to ensure that the law can be executed and as a result we are already requiering schoolchildren to visit school on an experimental bases. We intend to serve the people efficently andf therefore do not leave it to the last second. Earl von Nord, Education Minister |

| Message | "Child labour is allowed and unregulated; adult labour laws do not apply" This means that children can be subject to cruel, inhumane and dangerous work, this is not acceptable. As also noted by the HDA, your government does not require children to partake in education. It is clear your government cares very little for the welfare of children. - The Humanist Party. |
| Date | 21:56:43, March 12, 2019 CET | From | Faschistische Union | To | Debating the The Children's Act |
| Message | As explained above we already took action in this regard. Moreover outlawing the proud work of children is hardly the best course of action. Earl von Nord, Education Minister |

| Message | We note that the BDL have voted against the bill: http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=596006 Your actions speak against your words. - The Humanist Party. |
| Date | 22:03:17, March 12, 2019 CET | From | Faschistische Union | To | Debating the The Children's Act |
| Message | We voted against this because we believe in private education+ "As there is a obvious majority in favour of the quoted act we already took actions to ensure that the law can be executed and as a result we are already requiering schoolchildren to visit school on an experimental bases. " Your intelligence speaks against you being in government. Earl von Nord, Education Minister |

| Message | Insults are to be expected from a party of your calibre. We do not mind, it shows more of you than it does of us. - The Humanist Party. |
| Date | 22:07:53, March 12, 2019 CET | From | Hosian Democratic Alliance | To | Debating the The Children's Act |
| Message | "we already took actions to ensure that the law can be executed" Laws only come into force once they are passed by the Senate, not before. OOC: This is not how the game works and is against the spirit of the game. |

| Message | To assure our collegues from the HDA: A government can always institute a field test to test proposals and whether they are easy to apply. And we will continue to do so. Earl von Nord, Education Minister |

| Message | We do not agree with BDL here, think of the Welfare and safety of the children in our Country. Children are missing out on vital education, for working damaging their health and wellbeing. They are being subject to cruel, inhumane work environments. Children need to be treat with care and responsibility, not with slavery and punishment. We hope that the BDL reevaluates and proposes a law which stops Child labour. If it was your child, would you let he or she be subject to abuse? Punishment? For what? Wanting to be a child. Children should have the right to a standard education, with the learning of becoming an adult as a topic in the national curriculum for education up to 16 year olds. We believe this will ensure that children are ready for adulthood when taking on their first job. We believe there are other ways of assuring children are ready and are able to work, not by punishing them from a young age. It’s wrong, damaging and immoral. We would not accept this bill if it went to a vote. Caelan S Bromell Head of DCP Government. |

| Message | PLEASE IGNORE LAST COMMENT MADE IN DISCUSSION ************ We are happy that the BDL have made attempts to improve the well-being of children, I believe that Caelan S Bromell May have had a drink or 2 when submitting the last comment so apologies to all parties there, especially our coalition partner BDl for the comments such as “inhumane” and “cruel, I think he is confused. We are happy that your party are taking an extra step further to give a Child the best quality of life they need, this will extensively improve civil rights, we are a firm believer that this bill is the right way forward to a successful country. We would accept this bill and hope it will be accepted immediately after voting is over. Sir Drew Layton Lewstone. President of DCP party |
