| Date | 00:32:08, June 04, 2007 CET | From | Lodamun Distributionist Party | To | Debating the Safety Act |
| Message | We can only believe that this is a bill submitted to improve the visibilty of the United Republic Party. The LDP is all for general relaxation of governmental regulations, but this bill's description may be better read: "Eliminates cumbersome limbs and helps boost the growing funerary service industry." |
| Date | 00:40:24, June 04, 2007 CET | From | Radical Nationalist Party | To | Debating the Safety Act |
| Message | This is just a populist move by the URP, they are not doing this based on ideology. You only have to look at the national newspaper and you will see this was put to an opinion poll and his proposal reached 44%. |
| Date | 03:46:51, June 05, 2007 CET | From | Independent Republican Party | To | Debating the Safety Act |
| Message | We believe that there should be at least some health control and standards in different industries to prevent companies from exploiting workers. |

| Message | A populist move...and yet, a move the NP supports? Really?! The NP is working for a libertarian monarchy? I, for one, would like an explaination. |

| Message | I hope enough palms were adequately greased to compensate for the alienation this will cause. |

| Date | 17:24:09, June 08, 2007 CET | From | Free Lodamun | To | Debating the Safety Act |
| Message | No, you social degenerate. With the people of the 5 Kingdoms and parties like the moderates that actually have votes. But i guess all support abandoning you on this issue hurts a wee bit more than me pointing out the obvious. |
| Date | 17:44:41, June 08, 2007 CET | From | Lodamun Distributionist Party | To | Debating the Safety Act |
| Message | The LDP applaudes the NP's reconsideration of this issue. |
| Date | 19:15:24, June 08, 2007 CET | From | United Republics Party | To | Debating the Safety Act |
| Message | A plurality of Lodamese agree with this proposal. This issue may come back and bite you. Can you have negative seats? |
| Date | 14:14:25, June 13, 2007 CET | From | Lodamun Liberal-Conservative Party | To | Debating the Safety Act |
| Message | We cannot support this legislation. Such health and safety regulations ensure the safety of workers who may not know the hazards that threaten them in their every day work environments, and may be more prone to the risks of damage. Paternalistic, yes, but nessicary. |
