Message | This is disgusting. You wish to allow the wholesale slaughter of babies, abandonment of our seniors, and for our army to be inhabitied by sub-humans. GOD and the people of Telamon will not forgive you. |
Date | 00:55:29, September 04, 2006 CET | From | Catholic Workers Union | To | Debating the Tucker "Liberal Summer" Bill |
Message | Actually, the people of Telamon have recently endorsed our positions and our party. Progressivism is the choice of the people. Regardless, we'd like to justify our change of heart on Article 5. We oppose all private schooling, but as long as it is allowed, we believe that religiously inclined private schools should not be prohibited. In other words, until such time as all private schooling can be banned, we don't support only partially based, biased prohibitions. |
