Bill: Military and Justice Reforms
Details
Submitted by[?]: Social Calvinist Unionist Party
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: October 2228
Description[?]:
| In its absense, the PNF has seen that the proud armies of Luthori have been mutilated by political opinion. The army is no longer made to represent the glorious fighting force of Great Luthori State, but instead has just become another issue on which parties can get seats. We aim to restore the Army to its previous state, where it was an effective fighting force for ALL patriotic Luthorians. Seeing how we believe the Justice System and the Military are intertwined, we are also introducing some Justice reforms as well. |

| Message | I put women serve in segregated units in the hope (probably baseless, though), that people might be more willing to agree with segregated units than full inclusion. |
| Date | 14:33:28, May 16, 2006 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Military and Justice Reforms |
| Message | The DUP would indeed vote in favour of women in segregated units (or, better still, in non-combat roles) but WILL NOT vote to turn our proud Imperial Army into a an international laughing stock of limp wristed cowardly benders and will not allow criminals to profit from their crimes while they are supposed to be undoing punishment! |
| Date | 17:17:02, May 16, 2006 CET | From | Luthori Tory Party | To | Debating the Military and Justice Reforms |
| Message | Aye. |

| Message | "limp writed cowardly benders"? Good sir, I know plenty of homosexual people who have died for their country. Homosexuals are just as patriotic as you or I, possibly even more so, since they have something to prove. |

| Message | I've met plenty of these "people" and not one was fit to wear the Queen's (or in our case Kaiser's) uniform! |

| Message | No, you've probably met homosexual stereotypes, who act all feminine and such. One of my best friends is homosexual, and you could never guess it from the way he acts. Real gay people don't act like people on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy or any shows like that. They act just like normal human beings. |
| Date | 20:33:49, May 17, 2006 CET | From | Luthori Tory Party | To | Debating the Military and Justice Reforms |
| Message | Frankly, lets spare one another the "Homoesexuality is wrong" and "Homosexuals are people and have rights too" speeches. We're not convincing one another, so let's agree to disagree, and DROP IT. |
