| Message | We disagree. Those historically marginalized should be given the chance, through affirmative action, to correct some of the inherent inequalities in opportunity endemic to any system. |
| Date | 00:50:51, March 14, 2007 CET | From | Republican Party | To | Debating the Discrimination Act |
| Message | Discrimination is wrong. Affirmatice Action was to help the minorities get jobs and into college. But later it turned into reverse disrimination. So the AA is a hypicritcial law. |
| Date | 03:35:39, March 15, 2007 CET | From | National Fasco-Communist Order | To | Debating the Discrimination Act |
| Message | We gotta agree with the Republicans here. This is just reverse discrimination and does nothing to eliminate racial tensions in Telamon. It also isn't that benefecial for minorities anyways. |
