| Message | It is wrong to mix different issues like this. I do wish parties would stop doing it. There is no overriding sense of purpose in this bill. It is just a collage of different issues, and means that some parties feel the need to abstain. Keep different issues apart. |
| Date | 09:21:44, May 15, 2007 CET | From | "Le Chaim" - Aesthetic Party | To | Debating the Hold hands and meditate on the space outside your being. |
| Message | Agree to RIR... |
| Date | 09:55:36, May 15, 2007 CET | From | Christian Democratic Alternative | To | Debating the Hold hands and meditate on the space outside your being. |
| Message | There is definitely some strong evidence in this bill that point to Monje being the leader of this party, like mixing the trivial with the momentous. Especially the momentous issues like the treaty withdrawals are dangerous to national security. |
| Date | 16:10:10, May 15, 2007 CET | From | Sensible Parity | To | Debating the Hold hands and meditate on the space outside your being. |
| Message | There are no monjes here. Meditate on this. What is it to be trivial? What is it to be momentous? Only through proper application of Sensible Parity breathing exercises can the two be one. And then the momentous shall be trivial and the trivial shall be momentous, and Sensible Parity will be you. |

| Random fact: When your party holds the foreign affairs department, you can create new treaties. However, before writing anything new, it is a good idea to search for existing treaties which already accomplish what you desire. |
| Random quote: "I worked at a factory owned by Germans, at coal pits owned by Frenchmen, and at a chemical plant owned by Belgians. There I discovered something about capitalists. They are all alike, whatever the nationality. All they wanted from me was the most work for the least money that kept me alive. So I became a communist." - Nikita Khrushchev |
