Message | We're not too sure about article II: 'All citizens are issued with identity cards and are required to carry them at all times'. It's the non-Citizens we feel should be forced to carry ID... |

Message | Well whats the purpose of an ID card if you don't have to carry it? This will allow citizens and non citizens to be easily identifable because non citizens can be given special ID cards declaring themselves as such. |
Date | 12:00:04, August 02, 2006 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the National ID and public Decency |
Message | Article II doesn't say that: it just says 'citizens are issued with identity cards and are required to carry them at all times'. We feel Citizens have earned the right to be treated better than that: it's the Civilians and immigrants who should be harrassed by the internal security forces! |

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). |
