| Message | CPP, death is not too easy. You'll notice in countries where the death penalty is operated that defence lawyers always try and commute a death sentence to a life sentence. If death were the easy option, wouldn't defence lawyers be trying to change life sentences into death sentences? |

| Message | We shall leave this Bill up for a bit longer, in the hope that the CPP and the ALF change their viewson the matter. |

| Message | i do not think the state should have to power to decide who lives and who dies, pure a simple, so i can not support the introduction of the death penalty. |

| Random fact: Players have a responsibility to differentiate between OOC (out-of-character) and IC (in-character) behaviour, and to make clear when they are communicating in OOC or IC terms. Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context. |
