| Message | They are suffering from equality (the daft notion that all people have the same set of experiences and competencies) . In order to become enlightened regarding historic PPP policy proposals, feel free to review: http://80.237.164.51/particracy/main/viewpartybills.php?partyid=112 Please Keep in mind that while you 2 are new, the Peoples Populist Party is Beluzias oldest (and currently ruling) party. Ergo I rarely sink to new "lows", but instead generally maintain my stance on the issues (altho I am open to the odd rethinking on a given issue). Children working, playing and fighting hard has always been a core PPP issue. We are a paramilitary party, and a the bulk of our baton weilding jackboot wearing thought crime destroying shock troops are children, as evidenced by their official title : The People's Youth Squad! |
