Date | 08:37:25, July 13, 2005 CET | From | Liberal-Progressive Union | To | Debating the One Car Act |
Message | This seems a little heavy handed. Should we really be dictating how many cars people can own? What if they have a large family that requires them to own more then one car in order to get to work and or school? I don't think I can support this as is. |
Date | 09:59:54, July 13, 2005 CET | From | United Blobs | To | Debating the One Car Act |
Message | If the people ant to bring it on themselves then I say let them. There is always our public transport system that they can use as well as the aforementioned collective travelling incentives so they will not be unable to get to work or school. |

Message | It's perfectkly ok to support cutting down pollution for the citizens of Hobrazia with this One Car Atc, yet few parties have the strength of conviction to extend this to multinational companies committing even worse atrocities to the environment. |
Date | 21:08:11, July 13, 2005 CET | From | Social Democratic Liberal Party | To | Debating the One Car Act |
Message | We echo the sentiments of the LPU, we cannot support this as it is. |

Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
Random quote: "The first step in freeing yourself from social restrictions is the realization that there is no such thing as a 'safe' code of conduct, one that would earn everyone's approval. Your actions can always be condemned by someone, for being too bold or too apathetic, for being too conformist or too nonconformist, for being too liberal or too conservative. So it's necessary to decide whose approval is important to you." - Harry Browne |
