| Message | We agree with this. Discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation is unfair, and often done for religious reasons. |
| Date | 14:20:55, September 23, 2007 CET | From | Progressive Socialist Party | To | Debating the Military Recruitment Act |
| Message | We agree with the bill. People's sexual orientation is their doing. The old value was racist and maybe promoting some stereotype. |
| Date | 09:11:37, September 24, 2007 CET | From | Regional Acronym Political Establishment | To | Debating the Military Recruitment Act |
| Message | The old value is not racists since faggots are not a race. Furthermore, removing homosexuals from the military is not a religious matter, but a practical matter. Studies have shown that queers are 50% more likely to disobey orders during combat operations than heterosexual soldiers. Civilians are more than welcome to sodomize each other, but let's keep our military strong, united, and buggery free. |
