| Message | Marriage is neither illegal nor illegal now. Why change things? This legislation is truly unnecessary. |
| Date | 20:47:07, May 23, 2007 CET | From | Industrialist Party of Aloria | To | Debating the Marriage for All |
| Message | If the government doesn't do anything it is much better than ENCOURAGING unions that are immoral by aknowledging that type of marriage. |

| Message | We agree with CP except for the so-called "immoral" part. Gay marriage and civil unions are like straight marriages and civil unions. The government should stay out of both. If people want to unite for LEGAL purposes than they should incorporate like a legal business, period. That's how the law sees your assetts and liabilities anyway once you merge with another individual in the eyes of the law. |

| Message | What a disgusting waste of government resources! The bureaucracy of commercial incorporation for the sole purpose of becoming a single legal entity? This would be far simpler for people to do, and for the government to handle, making a vote against it a complete betrayal of your principles, MLP. |
