| Date | 10:46:30, March 23, 2007 CET | From | Social Democrats | To | Debating the Disallowment of Dangerous Substances Act |
| Message | We give support. When we say explicitly, we do so. We never broke our word. We never will. And agreeing and giving support is something different. We are able to take the right choice sometimes and see over our disagreements to insure better cooperation between coalition members. |

| Date | 14:43:19, March 24, 2007 CET | From | S.C.A.F.R. | To | Debating the Disallowment of Dangerous Substances Act |
| Message | This is a fascist resolution. I want the right to put tobacco, alchool and al that i want into my body. The state has to ban the use of syntetic drugs as cocain, lsd and more. we will vote no tothis fascist bill. |
| Date | 18:22:51, March 24, 2007 CET | From | Social Democrats | To | Debating the Disallowment of Dangerous Substances Act |
| Message | The restriction for alcohol and tobacco use are considered by the SD as such that sales are discontinued near schools, hospitals, kindergardens and capped with some number. We feel this is a matter of interpretation. It is not fascist in our views. We will support regardless of the disagreement by the coalition members. |

| Random fact: Did you know you can change the official name of your nation? All you need to do is draw up a new name that is in accordance with the Nation Renaming Guide, pass a bill proposing the name change with a two-thirds majority and then post a request to Moderation on the "Renaming Requests" thread. You can change city and region names in this way too. |
