| Message | ACAP agrees with articles one and two, but we cannot agree to three and four, therefore we cannot accept this tacked on bill, if they were seperated, then yes, we would. |
| Date | 17:41:00, August 20, 2007 CET | From | Enlightened Cosmic Brotherhood | To | Debating the Healthcare and immigration bill |
| Message | Guess the only people allowed to have Freedom are natives to Al'Badara. |
| Date | 02:03:09, August 21, 2007 CET | From | Christian Nationalist Front | To | Debating the Healthcare and immigration bill |
| Message | Unfortunately the CNF can only support articles 3 & 4. Abortion can not be allowed and the CNF has no stance on public/private health care. |
| Date | 05:05:39, August 21, 2007 CET | From | Feathercreek Ecological Partnership | To | Debating the Healthcare and immigration bill |
| Message | Private clinics should be allowed (though heavily regulated), and we don't want to kill babies with developed thoughts and emotion, so this bill may be a step in the right direction. However, articles 3 + 4 seem paranoid and xenophobic. Restricting all refugees and foreigners will further escalate the ignorance and hatred of other cultures, and won't help diplomatic relations one bit. |
| Date | 06:01:02, August 21, 2007 CET | From | People's Communist Party | To | Debating the Healthcare and immigration bill |
| Message | "Paranoid and xenophobic" - a phrase that succinctly sums up the so-called Freedom Party. |
| Date | 09:19:23, August 21, 2007 CET | From | Unified National Party | To | Debating the Healthcare and immigration bill |
| Message | Whilst Articles 2,3 and 4 are each enticing to the UNP, we strongly oppose privatization and must reject it due to number 1. |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
