Date | 02:09:57, January 15, 2007 CET | From | Elite Sinn Fein | To | Debating the Orange Act XIV |
Message | propose other bills that more people would agree with you on. But This bill is pretty much dead, so I would just propose others and wait till I get a majority to pass these policies. |

Message | "propose other bills that more people would agree with you on." Except then we wouldn't agree with them then. These five laws are the only five in Baltusia that concern our party. But then, we're quite happy that they get voted down. Riles up the blood in the Orange electorate. |

Message | "why do you hate farmers so much?" We don't. We prefer free and fair trade to pointless welfare schemes though. Since subsidisation of developed nations' crops means that undeveloped nations' farmers are at an automatic disadvantage (the former's prices can be lowered and still create a net profit), I'd say the need of the latter trumps the need of farmers who are doing fine anyway. Or if they're not doing well, perhaps they need to re-evaulate what they're doing. Essentially, if the agricultural industry was in real trouble, it could apply for nationalisation, available under a different act. |
