| Message | I do not see why we have to change it, i think it would be appropriate to let the individidual decide when they wish to retire, not the state, it just removes from the individual the choice to decide whether they work or not. 70 rather than 60 gives the individual greater choices in their lives |

| Message | You do know you can still work even after you are retired? What about the people who might be too tired to work in their mid 60's? Theolder you get the harder your immune system has to work and everyone knows work is stressing for older people and the bad environments some workplaces provide is another factor. If they get too sick, they don't retire and get put in a elderly home and get very little medical benifits. |

| Random fact: Did you know you can change the official name of your nation? All you need to do is draw up a new name that is in accordance with the Nation Renaming Guide, pass a bill proposing the name change with a two-thirds majority and then post a request to Moderation on the "Renaming Requests" thread. You can change city and region names in this way too. |
