| Message | To deprive citizens of their rights is a most greivous crime, and to impose the restrictions of your religion on those of others leads to repression and unrest. |

| Message | No i am just saying what the people want! If gay people want kids they can go anywhere else but not here! |

| Message | Perhaps the CNL ought take a look at the demographics of this fair country. They tend towards permissive civil rights and there is a dramatic number who support a secular state. As there is no non-theological argument about gay marriage, this bill seems doomed to failure, should all claim to follow the people's will. |

| Message | progressive-leaning 10.4% is what the people say about Morality. That means they have a bit of moral in them! |
| Date | 15:39:59, July 28, 2007 CET | From | Sekowo Fascist Party | To | Debating the things that need to change! |
| Message | Article 2 should remain the way it is, but we agree with 1 and 3. So we will vote yes. |
| Date | 16:58:15, July 28, 2007 CET | From | Sekowan Communist Party | To | Debating the things that need to change! |
| Message | Civil rights: 64.34% of the population is at least leaning towards permissiveness, with 35% of that convinced of it or better. Morality: 63.06% are progressive-leaning or better, with 38% of that convinced of progressive morals. Lastly, religion: 59.6% of the population at least somewhat supports a state divorced from religious morals (most likely getting said morals from something like humanism). Our people don't want this bill to pass. Don't force it on them. |

| Message | Also, that was just against proposals 1 and 3. As religion is outlawed, it would be extraordinarily foolish to let in missionaries just to arrest them upon entry. |
