| Message | Why? |
| Date | 01:55:35, April 02, 2007 CET | From | Party of Moderates | To | Debating the End to Racism Act |
| Message | "Why?" I don't know? Maybe it's because we're endorsing racism? Positive discrimination is an oxymoron because there is no good discrimination, and anyone that declares one group inferior to another is a racist. So, tell me, are you a racist and someone who wants equality? |

| Message | We wants equality, but it's important that persons who are discriminated, not inferior but discriminated, must have protection and opportunity. We think that our Nation has to approve a special legislation to regulate this. We can comprend the PM's point of view, but certanly we are sure that our Nation is not perfect, and discrimination against some people (handicap, women ecc.) in the work place, sport, culture ecc. exists. The state have to change this. are we racists? |

| Message | The TCP puts 100% of its support behind this bill and applauds the PM for proposing we rid our nation of this REDICULOUS 'positive descrimination' regime. It is a fastidiously politically correct, populist way of trying to look benevolent in the public's eyes and trying to act as if the employer is looking out for the 'little guy'. A rediculous regime - the employer should hire whomever he wants, regardless of ANY minorities that they may be a part of, and they should be hired because of their SKILL and their ABILITY, NOT because the employer has to satisfy quotas for minorities!! |

| Message | Exactly how long ago was it ago that this nation had endorsed policies of equality? We're sure it was longer ago than any current party's life. Do you really think that there are still racists behind every corner? We're sure that most employers only look at a person's skills and abilities instead of their skin. We have successfully created a color blind society. There is no need to put color back into perception. |

| Message | "Positive discrimination is an oxymoron because there is no good discrimination, and anyone that declares one group inferior to another is a racist." Yes, but positive discrimination does not declare any group to be inferior or superior to another. Rather, it merely acknowledges that there are factors that work against certain minorities in Aldegar, and that one way to overcome those factors is to ensure that they aren't jilted when it comes to employment. |

| Message | So, every minority in Aldegar is always discriminated against at any one time? Is that why it there is "positive discrimination?" That is pretty much what the current policy is implying if your logic is to be applied to it. Under it, minorities get unfair advantages over others when being considered for college admissions, lower level employments, middle level employments, upper level employments, etc. It's ridiculous. A person should be admitted into employment only for their qualifications, and a person should only receive an advantage when being admitted into educational institutions for their unfavorable financial situation. Also, "positive discrimination" hurts productivity since those who aren't as qualified consistently get admitted into employment. Not to mention, on top of all that, it's unnecesary. After all, everyone in Aldegar has been equal for how long now? It's bad for the economy, it isn't logical, it's immoral, and it isn't fair. The practice must end for the sake of Aldegar and all of its people. |
