| Message | IFP, yours would be a valid argument if you had some sort of reason for supporting the change. The way I see it, this will be an irrational, groundless break away from a great Lodamese tradition costing the People unnecessary government funds. |
| Date | 01:44:06, June 13, 2006 CET | From | Conservative People's Party | To | Debating the National Sport Bill |
| Message | Why does it have to be such a main stream sport? Honestly football isn't really very inventive, now is it? Besides fencing is a nice and honourable sport backed by the people of lodamun. There is no good reason to change the national sport. Let's forget this world cup craze. |

| Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar). |
