| Date | 19:04:51, February 12, 2007 CET | From |  Democratic Party of Dorvik | To | Debating the Culture Reform Act 2359 |
| Message | It's the responsibility of local governments to handle issues concerning libraries and museums. This bill would be a blow for civilization & culture of the Dorvish people so we cannot support it. |

| Date | 19:38:53, February 12, 2007 CET | From | Revolutionary Anarcho-Nationalist Party | To | Debating the Culture Reform Act 2359 |
| Message | Do you honestly believe a bureaucratic government is far more adept at maintaining historical treasures than a private business/organization? Governments are inefficient; businesses thrive because they are efficient. |
| Date | 20:16:31, February 12, 2007 CET | From | Democratic Party of Dorvik | To | Debating the Culture Reform Act 2359 |
| Message | Private sector doesn't automaticly mean better, it's not necessary or advisable to give all government responsibilities for the private sector. It's the profit which mostly drives businesses, not what is best for the civilization of people & culture itself. |
| Date | 01:28:01, February 13, 2007 CET | From | Green Freedom Party | To | Debating the Culture Reform Act 2359 |
| Message | We would much prefer this to be deferred to the regions; however, we will oppose the bill in its current form. |
