| Message | Unions are harmful to a healthy economy. Animals are irrelevant. Pollution is irrelevant. Greater central authority will be a boon in the future. |

| Message | Awwww... all the capitalist hanging out together for positioning on market issues. How cute. We may even let all of you bunk together when it's time to throw the lot of you into re-education camps after the revolution. |
| Date | 01:29:01, October 11, 2007 CET | From | Imperial Cildanian Egoists | To | Debating the The Crazy Wingnut Act |
| Message | We whole-heartedly support the entirety of this proposal. The proposing party though threw in the constitutional amendment so that they could enjoy the benefits of proposing these policies with no danger of the policies actually being enacted. Such duplicity is typical of their slimy and two-faced tactics. |
