| Message | We believe that people are responsible for what they do, if they do something wrong, then they deserve to be taken to court because they are liable to damages. In society you do something wrong you have to make amends, basiacally this article is basically giving people the right not to be resposnible for your own actions, which makes this article childish and it is material that supports Anarchy. Same for Amendment 2, except without the Anarchy. |

| Message | We disagree; if this law passed we parties could sue each other like crazy. And that would be unproductive. |
