| Message | We support the pollution deregulation, split that off if you want anything to pass. By the way, allowing schools to beat children is not libertarian, it violates the right of children to be free from assault. |

| Message | It removes government regulation and lets parents choose whether they wish to allow teachers to physically punish pupils. Are you against parents smacking their kids? |

| Random fact: Players have a responsibility to differentiate between OOC (out-of-character) and IC (in-character) behaviour, and to make clear when they are communicating in OOC or IC terms. Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context. |
