| Message | We've debated this already, you know our objection. The SDP might not have a problem with government-sanction discrimnation, but we do. |

| Message | We're not sanctioning it, we're just not telling people how to run their business. But if you do think they are the same, how can you vote against that and support this? Quite obviously you know they are not the same. |

| Message | So your condoning to a 100 year old policy all in the name of freedom? See im sorry I just don't get any of your philosophy at all, it makes no sense and at least real liberals think about what they vote instead of just alwasy following party standings. |
| Date | 17:04:32, July 01, 2007 CET | From | HaLeumit Tikvah | To | Debating the Military Morale Act of November 2421 |
| Message | We think. We think "Does this increase liberty?" and "Does it allow people to hurt other people?". If the answer to the first is yes and the second is no, we will usually vote yes. |

| Message | This bill hurts people, poor groupes of people and this bill will divide our nation and you know it but your party still does all this all in the name of protecting your sacred philosophy libertarianism. |

| Message | Your right, this bill hurts people, but if you know that, it begs the question of why you introduced it in the first place. Still, its good to see the SDP is coming to its senses. Having a philosophy is no bad thing, while we dont subscribe to the libertarianism philosophy like you claim- we're classical liberals, the clue really is in the name. You must admit that you believe in social democracy, and in reality that is the same as believing in a philosophy. |
