I don't think this is fair at all. It's like they're trying to control everything we do. Why should we have to follow this? Who does this even affect anyway?

I don't see why this bill is necessary. It seems like just another way for the government to control our lives. How will this affect me and my family in the long run?

I don't like this new law. It's gonna mess things up for me and my family. I don't think it's fair at all. They should think about how it's gonna affect people before they pass it. I hope they change their minds about it soon.
