| Message | We'd prefer that there be some form of compulsory pension system, and since we like to privatize nearly everything, it should be a private system. |
| Date | 22:15:40, September 17, 2007 CET | From | Supreme Party of the Republic | To | Debating the Pension System Bill |
| Message | But we think that a monopoly of the pension system should not be in the hands of the private sector. We just wanted to take the compulsory of the law and by that allow the workers to better plan their economies. |

| Message | Compulsory pensions are necessary so that the elderly do not become a burden on the state in their declining years just because they wanted to have more money in their youth. |

| Message | I think the Fascists for Christ have mistaken the concept of this bill: one shall receive whatever he has saved on the pension system. In our system everyone has the right to retire and receive a state-sponsored pension. This bill will make possible to person to choose which system suits them best and if they think that retirement money is not needed they`ll have to face the consequences of their acts or try one of the elder projects that we created when we are at the head of the Ministry of Heath and Social Services. |

| Date | 22:55:16, September 18, 2007 CET | From | Dorvik Socialist Party | To | Debating the Pension System Bill |
| Message | We agree that people should be able to take a private pension, but we also think that a compulsory public pension is necessary. |

| Random quote: "We must show that liberty is not merely one particular value but that it is the source and condition of most moral values. What a free society offers to the individual is much more than what he would be able to do if only he were free. We can therefore not fully appreciate the value of freedom until we know how a society of free men as a whole differs from one in which unfreedom prevails." - Friedrich August Hayek |
