Description[?]:
| "This [solar system] is..a..tiny, microscopic, terribly insignificant little bunch of space dust. Not to do it down particularly but compared to other systems, galaxies, confederations and that sort of thing and other possessions of confederations and so forth, this is nothing. That's why it's left alone. But it stands pretty well alone. It's peculiarly isolated." LRH |

| Message | It breaks our heart to have to agree to article #4 but the other proposals in this bill do show a significant change in policy for New Theta which can only be applauded. |
| Date | 22:38:03, February 27, 2007 CET | From | United People's Socialist Party | To | Debating the Command of Theta IX |
| Message | I dont agree with article four either. Torture is vital in times of crisis. Unlike the facist view, which is to do it just for kicks. But i will agree with this bill |

| Message | Ermm....I think you're confusing fascism with sadism here UPSP. A fascist would certainly take no more delight in inflicting pain upon another person than a socialist would, I assure you. |

| Message | How can you say that when you fully support Nazism. You wish to eliminate the world of other races for now apparent reason. Do you know what attrocities facsists and Nazis caused. |

| Message | The only real atrocity here is your spelling and grammar! You seem to think that just because a political group sets it stall out to rid the world of filth that they would somehow take an inane pleasure in doing what is basically a chore. Do you get a sense of sick satisfaction from washing the dishes or dusting for cobwebs? No, of course not. It's just something that has to be done. |

| Message | Eugenics was (and is) an Anglo-American psychiatric philosophy. The Nazis adopted it only after America (a so-called "democracy") had hailed its eugenics program (a sterilisation project across the country to prevent the lower classes from procreating) a success. Other "democratic" nations that adopted similar laws include Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. America was also the first to experiment with "euthanasia" of "the weak", (which Germany obviously followed and expanded upon) in a number of mental asylums across the country. |

| Message | First of all nothing is filth, we must value all life let it be homosexuals, the mentally challenged, jews, blacks, gypsys, etc. All these people contribute to society, for the most part. Especially homosexuals, jews and blacks |
