Message | The death penalty serves as a deterrent for the worst types of crimes. |
Date | 09:13:13, August 22, 2006 CET | From | Fenner Brockway Socialist Party | To | Debating the Death Penalty Reinstatement Act |
Message | We cannot agree - we believe the death penalty is a barbarism, doesn't deter crime, brutalises society as a whole, degrades the executioner, and carries an inevitable risk of killing the innocent. |
Date | 16:30:50, August 22, 2006 CET | From | Center-Right Coalition | To | Debating the Death Penalty Reinstatement Act |
Message | Why shouldn't our world's worst criminals face our world's worst punishment? |
Date | 18:38:16, August 22, 2006 CET | From | Aldegar Social Democratic Party | To | Debating the Death Penalty Reinstatement Act |
Message | We will not agree with this either. We believe the death penalty is a cruel, unnecessary punishment; as the FBSP said, it also can kill the innocent. Even the world's worst criminals do not deserve to have death as their only option. |
Date | 21:25:16, August 22, 2006 CET | From | Communist Party of Aldegar | To | Debating the Death Penalty Reinstatement Act |
Message | We are against this proposal as it would legalise state-sponsored murder and would not be a deterrant. |

Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
