| Message | Saying that they are self-explanatory is assuming that everybody is operating on the same wavelength as you. If you look at family and society, you can see that if you refrain absolutly from making physical contact with a child, then he/she will most likly become out of control by the teenage years and at school. Pornography is a moral issue so cannot be argued against logically, people will get it one way or another I agree with artical one, as an artist I would not like people stealing work it took me days or weeks to do. Same with technology. |

| Message | The current law "Teachers may use corporal punishment at their discretion" is a bit foggy to me. Could you possibly explain the benefits of child abuse (i.e. hitting a child)? No discepline is disasterous, however too much discepline is also disasterous. Also, the "self-explanitory" text was a typo. I'll be sure to fire my journalist... |

| Message | We feel that article 1 already gives sufficent protection to copyright holders. We thoroughly agree with article 2 and with article 3 we feel that matters of discipline should be the responsibility of the schools, that way parents can decide the appropriate type of discipline they want for their children. |

| Message | I don't understand how limited protection of copyrights is enough. Like IP said, I wouldn't want my music and/or art being ripped off due to limited laws on protection... |

| Message | The arts and sciences build upon the works of the past, without free access to these innovation is in fact stifled. Limited copyright protection (say for 25 yrs) enables the creator to make money from their work, but at the same time ensures that the work will eventually be accessible to all. |

| Message | I understand. Taking the article down. |
