| Message | I will be votying no to this, we can not trust immigrants will intergrate with our society and culture. We can not be sure they will not carry out terroist attacks when here, we need to put our peoples safety and culture first. |
| Date | 18:31:38, August 09, 2005 CET | From | Rationalist Party | To | Debating the Naturalization |
| Message | We cannot be sure people who have been here for three generations will not commit terrorist acts. We cannot control the actions of any individual, regardless of ethnicity. As for integration, it isn't all it's cracked up to be, ethnic groups can live together without being at each other's throats (See Canada). |

| Message | Right, claiming that all foreigners are evil terrorists are foreigners, look at the majority. Almost all of them are homebrewed. |

| Message | I am not saying all of them are terroists just possible terroists. In the UK Immigration has lead to a boom in AIDS, this may happen here. |
| Date | 20:44:59, August 09, 2005 CET | From | Rationalist Party | To | Debating the Naturalization |
| Message | In Canada it's led to a massive decrease in unemployment (yes, decrease) as skilled workers and investors create jobs. AIDS is a horrible disease, but not a good reason to not let an otherwise productive member of society into the country |
| Date | 21:58:37, August 09, 2005 CET | From | Theological Technocratic Party | To | Debating the Naturalization |
| Message | Just for clarification, what is the pragmatic difference between citizenship and nationality? |
| Date | 03:38:26, August 10, 2005 CET | From | Rationalist Party | To | Debating the Naturalization |
