| Message | The FBP worries about the exact definition of 'pimping', and feels that in order for this bill to proceed a definite definition of that activity would be needed. However, that is the only quibble the FBP has with this bill, and would vote in hte affirmative. |

| Message | That wasn't meant to be cheeky, I'm just trying to clarify MY definition. But remember thrown into just "controlling" prostitutes, there is also often abuse, rape, and even forced drug addiction. |
| Date | 09:57:18, June 25, 2005 CET | From | Free Beluzians | To | Debating the Pimping Act |
| Message | I understand what pimps are. I just wish that the specific meaning of pimps be written into the law, so that we do not ban a word whose definition we can define at any given time, then redefine elsewhere. The FBP has no problem with this law other than that quibble. |

| Message | And what about Madames? I mean, yes, it's wrong, but no limit on it? I think it's absolutely ridiculous and sexist. |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
