| Date | 03:47:01, April 04, 2006 CET |
From |  Free Conservative Party | To | Debating the Cars | | Message | This must be withdrawn to allow all private cars. With a family of 6, a tiny fuel-friendly car does not cut the cheese. The shipping business needs bigger, more powerful trucks. If people do not like unfriendly cars, they will not be bought.
Furthermore, the DLP will not let go of the bus subsidization. Perhaps they cannot afford a "friendly" car, which tend to be more expensive than regular gas cars. This country is too tied up in regulations that it makes it very hard to live. |

From | Centre Démocratique | To | Debating the Cars | | Message | Absolutely not. We are committed environmentalists. |
| Date | 10:46:30, April 04, 2006 CET |
From | Jelbék Zemojad Lofrkad Prta | To | Debating the Cars | | Message | The DLP disagrees with this bill, the only result of it could be environmental harm. |
| Date | 17:53:13, April 04, 2006 CET |
From | Centrist Democratic Party | To | Debating the Cars | | Message | We may agree, but reviewing the ERT we see no real reason to pull from it. |

From | Free Conservative Party | To | Debating the Cars | | Message | CDP, I am trying to pave the way for all citezens to get the cars they want; we can keep the others. |

From | Centrist Democratic Party | To | Debating the Cars | | Message | That may be, but one should not "throw the baby out with the bathwater" as it were. There's no guarantee this will ensure a freedom of cars in the near future, or that it details a ban on the idea as it currently exists. |
| Date | 00:40:53, April 05, 2006 CET |
From | Free Conservative Party | To | Debating the Cars | | Message | But, without this, we ARE ensured a lack of freedom of cars. |
| Date | 00:24:08, April 06, 2006 CET |
From | Centrist Democratic Party | To | Debating the Cars | | Message | We see no real threat for freedom of cars here. We cannot support this. |
| Date | 03:37:39, April 06, 2006 CET |
From | Free Conservative Party | To | Debating the Cars | | Message | Did you look at the treaty??? It jsut about bans nonfriendly cars. |
| Date | 03:38:12, April 06, 2006 CET |
From | Free Conservative Party | To | Debating the Cars | | Message | If I want a bigger, badder car, why can I not have it? |
| Date | 01:18:18, April 07, 2006 CET |
From | Centrist Democratic Party | To | Debating the Cars | | Message | Yes, we did look at the treaty. The treaty says these two laws are allowed:
"Private cars are allowed, but people are encouraged to travel collective and tax incentives are provided for cars using environmentally friendly fuels."
"Only one car allowed per household, people are encouraged to travel collective and tax incentives on cars using environmentally friendly fuels."
People can still drive whatever they want, and if we so desire we can all compromise and choose the first one. If you want to drive a "bigger, badder car" then you can. You may not get tax breaks, but you will not have any real change in your lifestyle. |
| Date | 04:07:24, April 07, 2006 CET |
From | Free Conservative Party | To | Debating the Cars | | Message | Tax breaks for a person to buy a certain product are just not fair to the people who do not want that product. I am not a big fan of tax incentives. True freedom exists in fairness. This treaty is not fair to the people. |
| Date | 05:08:12, April 07, 2006 CET |
From | Centrist Democratic Party | To | Debating the Cars | | Message | This treaty is more than fair. It balances the right to choose along with environmental concerns. I'm sure the DLP would agree with us that those paying normal taxes are compensating for the pollution damages they are causing in using automobiles. |
| Date | 16:44:24, April 09, 2006 CET |
From | Centrist Democratic Party | To | Debating the Cars | | Message | Fair? We are having the people CAUSING the pollution pay for it. Would you rather the federal government collectively take it out of the taxpayer's pocket, which is the current system?
Is "fair" truly fair to the Conservative party, or is "fair" something they simply agree with? |
| Date | 19:26:07, April 09, 2006 CET |
From | Free Conservative Party | To | Debating the Cars | | Message | Does the government clean up the polution? I do not think we do, so why should they pay us? If the people want friendly cars they can buy them. |
| Date | 22:41:13, April 09, 2006 CET |
From | Centrist Democratic Party | To | Debating the Cars | | Message | We do, in fact. Many times it rests on the shoulders of local governments who may not be able to afford them. We have to pay to handle damages to water sources, deforestation, and urbanization. |
| Date | 03:41:37, April 10, 2006 CET |
From | Free Conservative Party | To | Debating the Cars | | Message | Do we? In what laws of legislature? Back up your arguments. |
