| Date | 00:08:29, August 12, 2007 CET | From | Progressive Liberals | To | Debating the Legalize gambling |
| Message | No regulation whatsoever? So, let children go to casinos then and become hooked? Have no laws making sure that firms do things properly? Ridiculous proposal. |
| Date | 12:04:08, August 12, 2007 CET | From | Liberty Party | To | Debating the Legalize gambling |
| Message | The free market will decide the best possible "regulations". Though it will be a bumpy ride in the early days, soon the consumer will decide which casinos are fair, and will shun the outlets that abuse the system. No regulations required. |

| Message | The voters decide what system is fair. Thankfully they voted mostly for parties who wouldn't favour this ridiculous proposal. Allowing gambling firms to target children and have no basic rules to protect adults is nuts. |
