| Message | Good idea! Why don't we just start putting unwanted orphans in indentured servitude programs next? |

| Message | Parents should be bound by laws after they adopt--the same laws that would govern a parent with a blood child. We don't require parents to take tests before having sex, nor should we require them to do so for adoption. |
| Date | 22:11:25, August 10, 2005 CET | From | Socialist Freedom Party | To | Debating the Adoption Bill |
| Message | There should be some regulation. not everyone should be able to adopt children but that strict regulations would prevent some fairly decent people that haven't passed one test but passt some others to adopt. We vote no. |

| Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
