| Message | No. Your first article will stampen out creativity and entrepreneurship. If people cannot have protection over the things that they create, then such things will not happen. This will be bad for not only culture and the arts, but also for health, medicine and technology. |
| Date | 13:03:52, April 11, 2007 CET | From | Conservative Union Party | To | Debating the Forcas' reform act 2387 |
| Message | Propose only article 2 and we will vote yes. We disagree with 1 but we are fanatically in favour of 2. |
| Date | 13:08:42, April 11, 2007 CET | From | Christian Democratic Alternative | To | Debating the Forcas' reform act 2387 |
| Message | People have free will you know. They aren't drones. What movies do you actually plan to approve? Triumph des Willens? |

| Message | Oh sorry, we misread article 2, we are not in favour at all. We like movie ratings ie 12 15 18, but not government approved movies, some people like violent bloody action films and horrors. We don't think kids should be exposed to it but what's wrong with an adult watching something violent? |

| Message | At CDA: No, but maybe "Triumph des Kults" |
| Date | 17:11:31, April 11, 2007 CET | From | Conservative-Libertarian Party (UM) | To | Debating the Forcas' reform act 2387 |
| Message | WHAT?!?!?! The CDA and CUP have just completely shown their total hypocricy? People have free will? You think adults can be exposed to violence but not to sex? You are quite clearly mixed up! |
| Date | 17:48:41, April 11, 2007 CET | From | Christian Democratic Alternative | To | Debating the Forcas' reform act 2387 |
| Message | We don't want people to be exposed to violence either, but censorship is the tool of evil dictators. "Government approved" is an ambigious term. It can mean "no sex and violence" but it can also mean "no movies, but propaganda movies". The CDA interprets "government approved" as the latter definition. |

| Message | We agree with the CDA. |

| 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. |
| Random quote: "If democracy is ever to be threatened, it will not be by revolutionary groups burning government offices and occupying the broadcasting and newspaper offices of the world. It will come from disenchantment, cynicism and despair caused by the realization that the New World Order means we are all to be managed and not represented." - Tony Benn |
