| Date | 23:40:32, August 14, 2007 CET | From | Progressive Party of Kazulia | To | Debating the Advancement of Choice Act |
| Message | It's better to make it more difficult for people who have criminal histories to get a hold of guns that to just let them have them! As for #6, do you really want a convicted child rapist adopting little kids? There has to be some oversight or the system will be abused. Development of biotechnology should not be limited. Many great advances have come as the result of such technologies. |

| Message | That's like saying that hunting endangered species should be legal because people will just sell their pelts or bushmeat on the black market. Under strict regulation biotech shouldn't pollute. |

| Random fact: In order for a Cabinet bill to pass, more than half of the legislature must vote for it and all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet must support it. If your nation has a Head of State who is also the Head of Government, then the party controlling this character must also vote for the bill, since the Head of Government is also a member of the Cabinet. If any of these requirements are not met, the bill will not pass. |
