| Date | 02:21:42, August 14, 2007 CET | From | Isolationist Utilitarian Party | To | Debating the The Freedom to Medicate Act |
| Message | No. At all times, a citizen must be aware of how his actions will affect those around him and take that into consideration. Drugs are an inherently selfish activity; they provide no good to the community. Further, the use of drugs often damages organs which could be used to save any number of lives. |
