| Message | Mr Speaker, We're all for Privatisation in the Defenders: but we're simple Luthorian soldiers with knowledge only of the Luthorian language, and know not what "Privatization" is. I yieldz the floor. |

| Message | OOC: Well here is what Professor Paul Star of Sociology and Public Affairs, and Stuart Professor of Communications and Public Affairs, Princeton University says it is... http://www.princeton.edu/~starr/index.html This is the internet not the UK the word is spelled with a Z in the US and an S in the UK. He doesn't ask you to spell it his way which is no less correct then his, so how about you shut your trap until someone actually spells it WRONG. Quit being a cunt. |

| Date | 23:43:46, July 24, 2007 CET | From | Secular Party | To | Debating the Privatize Banking Act |
| Message | IC: Mr. Speaker, The Secular Party recognizes the advantages of having a central bank for which to affect banking policy in general. As such, I and my party shall vote nay. By the way, we also recognize that recognize and privatization are recognizably spelled with a z, as recognized by many English speakers. I yield the floor, but not the z's in my speech! |

| Message | Mr Speaker, Last time I checked Luthorian was the official language of this Diet, not "English": perhaps the Most Honourable Gentleman would like to correct me? Otherwise the Luthorian word is privatise. I yieldz the floor. |
