| Message | Restrictions on freedom? Homophobia? Why? No, no, no! |
| Date | 06:49:06, July 19, 2007 CET | From | One Nation Party | To | Debating the Heterosexual Adoption Bill 2430 |
| Message | This bill has nothing to do with Homophobia it has everything to do with the rights of the child. |
| Date | 08:31:08, July 19, 2007 CET | From | Moderate Libertarian Party (NoCoalition) | To | Debating the Heterosexual Adoption Bill 2430 |
| Message | How about the rights of the child to be raised by loving homosexual parents in a stable environment? Is that any worse than dysfunctional straight parents? No science backs up this bill. It is homophobia dressed-up as "for the interests of the child." How about the interests of GLBT couples to be good parents? |
| Date | 10:28:37, July 19, 2007 CET | From | One Nation Party | To | Debating the Heterosexual Adoption Bill 2430 |
| Message | One Nation has no interest in feel good policies - we have no right to social engineer our society. Science does back up this bill - simple biology backs this up. If same sex couples were to have children it would have been imbeded in our physiological state. |
| Date | 16:23:34, July 19, 2007 CET | From | Democratic Rationalists (PrCoa) | To | Debating the Heterosexual Adoption Bill 2430 |
| Message | Democratic Rationalists respectfully differ with ONP on this. The science, in fact, is that children do well in a stable, loving environment, regardless of the sexual orientation of the parents. |
| Date | 20:44:03, July 19, 2007 CET | From | Party Royale | To | Debating the Heterosexual Adoption Bill 2430 |
| Message | Adoption, by any qualified couples, needs to be promoted, not discouraged. I'm sure if you ask the orphans waiting for adoption if they would rather live with a loving same-sex couple or continue to languish in the care of the state, they'd pick the same-sex couple every time. |
| Date | 21:52:37, July 19, 2007 CET | From | Industrialist Party of Aloria | To | Debating the Heterosexual Adoption Bill 2430 |
| Message | The government has no right in the personal affairs of people, that includes whether they are straight or not. |
| Date | 05:02:34, July 20, 2007 CET | From | Moderate Libertarian Party (NoCoalition) | To | Debating the Heterosexual Adoption Bill 2430 |
| Message | Agreed! |
| Date | 15:27:11, July 22, 2007 CET | From | One Nation Party | To | Debating the Heterosexual Adoption Bill 2430 |
| Message | It is biologically impossible for a man and a man or a woman and a woman to raise children dont you think then this is for a reason? Why does our heart pump? To circulate blood around the body - therefore the fact that same sex couples are unable to reproduce has a reason. |
| Date | 02:03:53, July 24, 2007 CET | From | Industrialist Party of Aloria | To | Debating the Heterosexual Adoption Bill 2430 |
| Message | That made absolutely no sense. It isn't ideologically impossible for that to happen,just because that don't have an instinctual love and bond doesn't mean they can't grow to love one another. We don't support or look down upon homosexuality, it's not our place as a government or political party to do that. Many members of our party are religious and thing of homosexuality as a sin, but they don't force their beliefs on others. You don't get that it's not our place to enforce things like this, because it's not even our place as a government to know a person's sexuality |
| Date | 01:57:10, July 25, 2007 CET | From | Moderate Libertarian Party (NoCoalition) | To | Debating the Heterosexual Adoption Bill 2430 |
| Message | By that rationale ONP, should we also ban "unnatural" pacemakers? How about artificial hips? |
| Date | 15:10:14, July 25, 2007 CET | From | One Nation Party | To | Debating the Heterosexual Adoption Bill 2430 |
| Message | That is an outragous suggestion however not suprising coming from the rubbish you guys spout off in the MLP. Your argument does not coincide in what we are saying. Artificial hips and pacemakers actually preserve life - it works with the human physiology, sodomy of the same sex does not. |
| Date | 18:01:53, July 25, 2007 CET | From | Industrialist Party of Aloria | To | Debating the Heterosexual Adoption Bill 2430 |
| Message | ... If someone wants to be gay that's their business. The government has no right to know. We can't be the morality police ONP. Take care of your own morality, let others take care of theirs. |
