Message | I would suggest dividing these up into different bills so as to not screw up people's visibility. I agree with some of these, but not with a lot of them. |
Date | 06:05:10, April 14, 2006 CET | From | Union Party | To | Debating the Misc Act |
Message | This bill is meant to provide a basis for some of the things the Union party would like see changed in our laws. We look forward to suggestions from the other parties on what we can work togeather on. |
Date | 06:21:37, April 14, 2006 CET | From | National Imperial Hobrazian Front | To | Debating the Misc Act |
Message | We like proposals 4 and 6. We also like 3, but would like to see even more aid than "moderate" given. However, we are not crazy about the bills that leave decisions up to local governments. |
Date | 13:01:32, April 14, 2006 CET | From | We Say So! Party | To | Debating the Misc Act |
Message | Article 1: No. Article 2: Yes. Article 3: No. Article 4: Yes. Article 5: No. Article 6: No. Further reasoning will be added later (but I'm in a rush at the mo!). |

Date | 23:45:47, April 14, 2006 CET | From | Union Party | To | Debating the Misc Act |
Message | Does this seem like an equitable compromise? |
Date | 02:02:31, April 15, 2006 CET | From | We Say So! Party | To | Debating the Misc Act |
Message | We may consider if acceptable reasoning can be provided for article 3 as currently we can see no reason to modify this at present. |
Date | 04:27:51, April 15, 2006 CET | From | Union Party | To | Debating the Misc Act |
Message | The current rules limit where the weapons may be carried. This of course means you can't bring a katana into the capital building or a court house, and it also restricts these weapons from certain non-government buildings and areas a swell. By putting the restriction power on the land owner, we allow others, be they citizens, companies, or even non-profits. But included in these groups is our government. The government currently controls large amounts of land in our fair nation and as such, under this rule change, will retain their ability to restrict weapons from our court houses and offices. This change simply expands the ability of our fellow citizens to have say over what can be brought into their homes. |

Message | We will not accept. |
Date | 00:05:22, April 16, 2006 CET | From | Deltarian Nationalist Party | To | Debating the Misc Act |
Message | Article 3 we do not like. It is even more radical than the current law so we can't accept. |
