| Message | You may have used it before but I might not have been here. Furthermore, showing contempt is nothing compared to rational debate - this encourages people to actually express the causes of their displeasure instead of pointlessly burning tablecloths. |

| Message | why should the desecration of a flag not be rational? "rational debate" on your terms sounds like the kind of thing that promotes apathy and stagnation. |

| Message | No, it encourages people to present their counterarguments in words others can understand. A picture may paint a thousand words, but it doesn't give them a sentence structure. |

| Random fact: When it comes to creating a Cultural Protocol in a Culturally Open nation, players are not necessarily required to provide a plausible backstory for how the nation's cultural background developed. However, the provision of a plausible backstory may be a factor in whether Moderation approves the Cultural Protocol if players in surrounding nations question its appropriateness for their region of the game map. |
