| Message | We support all these measures, with the exception of Article 4 which doesnt go far enough. |

| Message | Why not Join the Bandwagon.. eh? |
| Date | 13:51:35, July 31, 2007 CET | From | Ordo Inordatum | To | Debating the Lifetime Efficiency Act |
| Message | I agree, article 4 isn't long enough yet... the question is whether or not the ten year extension will drive the elderly into enfeeblement or death. If enough of them survive the increased work to remain economically viable at age 75, we could easily add another ten or twenty years. Consider this a test group, for now. |
| Date | 21:28:29, July 31, 2007 CET | From | Ars Moriendi Party | To | Debating the Lifetime Efficiency Act |
| Message | Another bill from the corporatist shills seeking to artificially inflate the supply of workers and thus drive down their cost, gut their benefits, and destroy any semblance of a standard of living. Absolutely unacceptable. |
| Date | 07:44:01, August 01, 2007 CET | From | Permissive Social Union | To | Debating the Lifetime Efficiency Act |
| Message | Let us realise that not all employment need not be hard physical work. We see no reason that the elderly should cease work while they are capable of contributing to themselves and the state. |
| Date | 21:55:24, August 01, 2007 CET | From | AM Radical Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Lifetime Efficiency Act |
| Message | We oppose state mandated labor conditions in any form. |
| Date | 01:18:24, August 02, 2007 CET | From | Ordo Inordatum | To | Debating the Lifetime Efficiency Act |
| Message | In honor of the Facist Front representatives, I have raised the proposed retirement age to eighty-five. The elderly deserve to feel like they still have a useful place in society, don't you think? |
| Date | 01:26:29, August 02, 2007 CET | From | Ordo Inordatum | To | Debating the Lifetime Efficiency Act |
| Message | ... okay, I guess the back button screwed it up. Whoops. |
| Date | 07:33:37, August 02, 2007 CET | From | Riot of Lone Romantics | To | Debating the Lifetime Efficiency Act |
| Message | Child work should not be mandatory.. they should be able to live their lifes as freely, innocently, and carefreely as they should so deserve. Let them enjoy that period of denial, before they enter the world as confused, angry, and insecure adults. As a result of Article 4.. I must vote No on this issue. |
| Date | 07:35:35, August 02, 2007 CET | From | Permissive Social Union | To | Debating the Lifetime Efficiency Act |
| Message | Article 4, and indeed all the articles here could have been taken out of a LFF platform pamphlet. We congratulated Ordo Inordatum. |
