| Date | 10:55:14, December 05, 2006 CET | From | Imperial Democratic Coalition | To | Debating the VBS - Corrections of Stupid Laws |
| Message | We are against 2 & 3 to ensure the government may properly alert the population to danger. We perhaps could support 2 without 3, or 3 without 2. We are against 4 because we think children are subordinate to their parents, & it should be up to the parents what they are allowed to smoke, etc. |
