| Message | We oppose article 2 but since this bill proposal is already in voting phase, we do not wish to amend it and will vote in favour. |
| Date | 14:54:34, February 17, 2007 CET | From | Orange Liberty Party | To | Debating the Relations Bill |
| Message | This is absurd. |
| Date | 14:58:22, February 17, 2007 CET | From | Machiavellian Party | To | Debating the Relations Bill |
| Message | Who defines decent? Do you have the right to do this? Morality is an invention, good and bad do not really exist |
| Date | 15:04:42, February 17, 2007 CET | From | Orange Liberty Party | To | Debating the Relations Bill |
| Message | All people have the right and freedom to love and care for who they wish. It is in no way the place of the government to define the morality of all citizens. |
| Date | 19:00:02, February 17, 2007 CET | From | Democrats | To | Debating the Relations Bill |
| Message | Rubbish to both concepts. It is not absurd for the national legislature to legislate. Morality is an invention, as are all ideas, that does not mean that morality should not exist, and of course, although good and bad are also ideas by invented by man, they do exist, it is pointless to deny their existence. All people should not have the right to and care for who they wish, that is an absurd concept, unless of course you are willing to back peadophilia and bestiality. |
| Date | 20:16:51, February 17, 2007 CET | From | Orange Liberty Party | To | Debating the Relations Bill |
| Message | Your bill proposes that citizens be alienated from their essential liberties. This is not acceptable. |
| Date | 12:53:32, February 18, 2007 CET | From | Democrats | To | Debating the Relations Bill |
| Message | Using the arguments of the Machiavellian Party, there is no such thing as essential liberties, and we agree with that, essential liberties are decided by governments, not by any other source of power, therefore the essential liberties you propose are subject to change. |
| Date | 16:45:02, February 18, 2007 CET | From | Orange Liberty Party | To | Debating the Relations Bill |
| Message | I'm glad to see our great country has seen an influx of insane people. |
| Date | 20:10:53, February 18, 2007 CET | From | Democrats | To | Debating the Relations Bill |
| Message | Just because your arguments don't stand up hardly means other parties are insane |
