| Message | You want a debate? Ok here it is. Smoking CAUSES DEATH. End of story. There's your debate. As a party that supports public healthcare, how can you condone allowing people to kill themselves, all the while making other people pay to "help" them? Supporting this bill is stupid, it's a waste of taxpayer money, and an all out bane on the Empire. |
