| Message | We shall stand against this manipulation and abuse of power. Execute us if you will, but we will still be true to our ideas. The government shall not be in favor of any religion or whatsoever. Administration and Religion are two different things and shall never be one, especially on a cult that praises a false god. |

| Message | The VFA proposes to give our workers a break! With employment and prosperity at at an all-time high, our workers are buzzing like bees and humming like hummingbirds! We must lower the retirement age! Our workers need extra time to sail the world, take up pottery, or purchase expensive sports cars to relive their youth! |

| Date | 13:46:15, September 30, 2007 CET | From | Vanuku Corporate Alliance | To | Debating the The Cult of Ted |
| Message | We in the VFA believe this bill to have a typographical error. There is no article #1. We will have a word with the printers immediately. In the mean time, why not just pass the bill anyway and we can worry about the numeric values later... |
| Date | 13:46:41, September 30, 2007 CET | From | Vanuku Corporate Alliance | To | Debating the The Cult of Ted |
| Message | Er, we mean, there is no article #2. |
| Date | 01:17:28, October 01, 2007 CET | From | Party Party | To | Debating the The Cult of Ted |
| Message | I'm quite sure there is 2 articles here. One support a mandatory statewide religion (article 1) and one supporting the reduction of the official retirement age (article 2). |
| Date | 01:47:09, October 01, 2007 CET | From | Vanuku Corporate Alliance | To | Debating the The Cult of Ted |
| Message | No no, you are mistaken. Completely mistaken! The only thing this bill does is the retirement age! |

| Random quote: "Capitalism demands the best of every man- his rationality- and rewards him accordingly. It leaves every man free to choose the work he likes, to specialize in it, to trade his product for the products of others, and to go as far on the road of achievement as his ability and ambition will carry him." - Ayn Rand |
