| Message | Oppose. The Democratic Republic is under these strict conditions for safety reasons, we do not want to be invaded by the Hobrazians/Hobaists ever again, we must take drastic steps to make sure of it. |

| Date | 02:20:00, June 18, 2007 CET | From | Popular Revolutionary Front | To | Debating the Media Bill |
| Message | If we don't give up a few freedoms, then we will have to trade in every single freedom we have because we will be invaded again by foreign powers. |
| Date | 13:01:09, June 18, 2007 CET | From | Darnussian Liberal Democrat Party | To | Debating the Media Bill |

| Message | I don't understand NCPP:s point. They voted YES for new Imigration Bill that allows more hostile foreigners to live in our country but then they say we need these restrictions to assure our liberty? There are many ways to invade a country, by force and by inhabiting it and you are clearly doing nothing to stop the later one. |

| Message | OOC: I see your point, lol. I was just being populist even though it never made sense, well I stop and be more conservative to immigration. |

| Message | No. Unless the state mediates the terms in which people think then anarchy will reign. |
