| Message | Agreed. Like i said, until Civil Unions are introduced, i cannot agree to the word marriage, when it comes to the "marriage" of two homosexuals, regardless of if they're in love or not. |

| Message | You are not a Communist and I ask you to denounce that title. You are an insult to anyone who has even heard of marx. All people should be treated equally, no matter their sexual preference. as a proclaimed communist I don't see how you can support religious matters in a secular state. Civil unions have different status and why should a religion have a monopoly on marriage Surely you wouldn't support a Wiccan Handfast, which is called a marriage. As for preserving the sanctity of marriage, what sanctity? Divorces, adultery, you name it, we've had it for millenia. |

| Message | I believe under communism, religion is not supposed to be allowed, so that is what they are implying. I always thought of you more as economic communist. Of which, you believe, money should be split equally...or something along that. |
| Date | 22:58:19, August 16, 2005 CET | From | Progressive Marxist Party | To | Debating the Keep Marriage Sacred |
| Message | Oh no, I simply believe that the state and all of its representatives should keep religion out of the secular workings of the state. I only dislike it when it causes violence or mucks up secular workings. |

| Message | You are not a Communist. Communists offer equal rights for all. You support bureaucratic collectivism, not Communism. You are taking the rights away from those with different ideas about romance and sexuality. Change your name. |

| Message | Marraige is only sacrosant (sp?) to those who hold it as thus, what about atheists? Are they second class citizens now? |
| Date | 19:39:34, August 18, 2005 CET | From | Conservative Party of Telamon | To | Debating the Keep Marriage Sacred |
| Message | That's why i support Civil Unions, it removes this hostility and semantics of which i believe all of us would probably agree. That why, marriage stays within religion and the Unions, can allow and person off the street, to marry any person he/she fancies. |
| Date | 20:27:44, August 18, 2005 CET | From | Rationalist Party | To | Debating the Keep Marriage Sacred |
| Message | A civil marraige contract is a civil union. If the name is all you are arguing, this is becoming weak. |
