| Message | "To sum up; 1: Children can work for extra money during the holidays, this would outlaw that and would be wisely abused. This way we can regulate it. 2: The death penalty is not cruel or inhumane. 3: Rural provinces will have less regulation, urban Provinces will allow only profession shows, this is a Provincial issue. 4: Children will be told by their fundamentalist parents not to take the class, which is just wrong. We must teach kids this vital information to ensure a rational, intelligent next generation." ~LP Spokesman |

| Message | Are the new changes to the satisfaction of the LP? |
| Date | 10:32:25, November 04, 2007 CET | From | National Authoritarian Movement | To | Debating the Social reform |
| Message | "Article 1: Pets, especially dogs leave there excrements on the pavement. The state has to pay the cleaning. Therefore it is required to register pets in order to let the owners pay a little bit of these costs. Article 2: We cannot extradict people to countries with rights that we cannot support. Death penalty is just one example. Zardugal stands for an idea, a mission, which is an advantage to the people. Therefore we cannot give up these values and extradict people which have to face a completely different punishment than they would get here. Article 3: We see no reason why people shouldn't blame doctors for their malpractice. Before anybody will be convicted, different reports from neutral doctors will be done to ensure that it was really his fault. We do not need such an instance in general. Article 4: Final exams must be comparable. We need common standards, which means that private schools are allowed when they teach adequate skills. We don't want a trade with exams, therefore we cannot support this bill." ~ Willhelm v. Nassau, chancellor of the republic |

| Message | We reiterate what NAM said. |
| Date | 06:59:13, November 05, 2007 CET | From | Liberty Party | To | Debating the Social reform |
| Message | "Article 1: NAM, there is no way to register dog shit, use your head. Article 2: We don't see any reason to change the provision of extradition terms. Article 3: I'm sure the doctor in question will contact various respected medical boards. However, stripping legals rights away is a very dangerous path to take. Article 4: What makes you think private school's won't use a standard exam? This just allows for more choice, private schools will test according to what they're trying to achieve." ~LP Spokesman |

| Message | So does the LP agree with Article 2 on malpractice |

| Message | "No, legal rights must remain, just to keep the docs in check." ~LP Spokesman |
