| Message | Item one is already being voted upon and does not belong here Item two is stupid, cannabis has SOME medicinal properties, pain reliever is not one of them. Item three could be considered but a better solution is to make public transportation better, more accessable, faster, better service, more modern. Trying to reach your objectives in this manner is all backwards. Make it a real option and it will be used, entice people to use it with incentives and it will increase only slightly while the divide between rich and poor widens. |

| Message | We oppose all three articles. ONCP forgets that we are not PROGRESSIVE but CONSERVATIVE. |

| Message | Supporting all three proposals. OOC: @Fed-Con: -There's indeed a bill being voted about euthanasia, but it's not entirely the same (this one needs consent from the patient and a court order, while the other one requires consent from the patient and the treating doctor), just saying... -I suggest you check your sources regarding your comment on the second article. Cannabis is used as a pain reliever for certain terminal illnesses such as cancer and AIDS. Cannabis as a medicine was in fact common throughout most of the world in the 1800s, as it was used as the primary pain reliever until the invention of aspirin. |

| Message | item 1 isn't being voted on. That proposal is different and involves consent froma a patien and doctor, and this allow consent from the same and a court order. Actually i've seen it used first hand like that to help relieve pain and multiple syrosis and relaxes the muscle joints helping the mobility and relieves the pain of the joints not being mobile. Article 3 i might agree with ther FC but tukarali is a capitalist society which i'm partly reponsible for having privatised many of our industries. Anyway in such a society people want to show off how succesful they are and having their own car symbolises an individuals freedom to roam as they please. Such people will always want cars so why don't we make sure that the cars only use environmentally friendly fuels. |
