Date | 12:24:22, July 08, 2005 CET | From | We Say So! Party | To | Debating the Revised National Holiday Act |
Message | Though we fully support the implementation of this public holiday, but surely this bill is unnecessary as if the public is on holiday, then the children will not be in school... |
Date | 14:24:03, July 08, 2005 CET | From | Liberal-Progressive Union | To | Debating the Revised National Holiday Act |
Message | I prefer if the children have the option to sing on a holiday rather then made to sing, but as WSSP say's, there will be no school on holidays. |

Message | @LPU - What you want is the current state of affairs; children can sing it but cannot be made to. |

Date | 08:18:41, July 12, 2005 CET | From | Liberal-Progressive Union | To | Debating the Revised National Holiday Act |
Message | I'll support also. |
Date | 21:55:05, July 12, 2005 CET | From | United Socialist Movement | To | Debating the Revised National Holiday Act |
Message | To be honest, it all sounds a bit much like 'pomp and ceremony'. |
Date | 22:01:19, July 12, 2005 CET | From | We Say So! Party | To | Debating the Revised National Holiday Act |
Message | Nothing wrong with a bit of pomp! Also, the workers get a day off, surely they'd be happy? |
Date | 22:15:20, July 12, 2005 CET | From | United Socialist Movement | To | Debating the Revised National Holiday Act |
Message | That's an extra day for those on the poverty line to not earn any money. To be honest, is a holiday really necessary? |
Date | 22:45:26, July 12, 2005 CET | From | United Blobs | To | Debating the Revised National Holiday Act |
Message | "That's an extra day for those on the poverty line to not earn any money." - Hopefully we won't have too many of those. "To be honest, is a holiday really necessary?" - No, but don't you enjoy a day off work/school/etc. |
Date | 15:32:51, July 13, 2005 CET | From | United Socialist Movement | To | Debating the Revised National Holiday Act |
Message | There is no point putting in our 'no' for this now; to be honest it's not a big concern of ours, so we will allow this Bill to pass. |

Random quote: "In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a cheque. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." - Martin Luther King Jr. |
