| Message | Is the PSFVP really so ashamed of the human body as to believe public nudity should be illegal? |
| Date | 12:57:30, October 02, 2007 CET | From | Pan-Sekowo Freedom Alliance | To | Debating the Civil Rights Position Bill |
| Message | No, we simply acknowledge (rightly might we add) that there are those in society who feel differently about the issue than the DSP, and are currently given no choice in the matter. If there were places were public nudity was legal, and others where it wasn't, it would give our people a greater level of choice in the matter. |
| Date | 17:28:25, October 02, 2007 CET | From | Plato's Republican Party | To | Debating the Civil Rights Position Bill |
| Message | It rids people of choice. It eliminates the choice of being nude in places that this bill would make clothing-only areas. It also hinders the choice to have children by subjecting would-be parents to an exam. This is foolishness. No test, no matter how comprehensive, could possibly be accurate in this regard. |
