| Message | The LLP votes no. We believe in equal rights for people of all genders and sexualities. And if we make prostitution illegal, we run the risk of lowering the living standards and life expectancy of those forced into it. |

| Message | you would dare to force your homophobic bullshit on people who do you no harm? what the hell do you care what they do? it's called freedom. let them have it, or someone like you might just decide that what you do is immoral, and take it away from you, as well. all morals are relative, as they are the rules we set for ourselves to live by. what is immoral for you is perfectly fine for someone else. nobody can live by your morals, just as you can live by no one elses. |

| Message | Get rid of 1 and 3, and we're with you. |
| Date | 19:32:14, August 23, 2005 CET | From | Union for a Socialist Democracy | To | Debating the Public Morality |
| Message | This is a serious affront to freedom and equality. It goes against the principles of the USD and against decent, fair society. The USD will vote no. |

| Message | This homophobic bill shall never pass. |
| Date | 17:07:36, August 24, 2005 CET | From | Union for a Socialist Democracy | To | Debating the Public Morality |
| Message | This is pandering to public thirst for morality and religion and nothing more. If this repression is enacted upon the people, the USD will see that the term of the current government is short. |

| Message | I say it again. Get rid of 3, and we have a deal. Even with your monumentous size, you cannot pass every bill by yourself(Trust me, I know. My party also had a large advantage, and so has the NFP. It helps swing the debate in your favor, but it can't be you against the nation). |

| Message | even with the GoL (if you remove 3), you still can't pass it. it would be deadlocked 300-300 |

| Message | sorry, miscount. |

| Message | It seems that the DUP added the first article back on... Unless 1 and 3 go, I am afraid you are not getting our vote. |
| Date | 10:28:50, August 26, 2005 CET | From | Luthori Green Party | To | Debating the Public Morality |
| Message | Consider this and any similar bills you propose to be what causes your downfall at the next election. The people want progressive civil rights, not homophobic neo-conservativist preaching. The left had a huge lead for decades, we shall have it again. |

| Message | can we get this deleted already? |
| Date | 07:06:25, August 29, 2005 CET | From | Luthori Green Party | To | Debating the Public Morality |
| Message | YES YES YES!!! |
| Date | 16:01:44, August 30, 2005 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Public Morality |
| Message | I've removed the less popular articles until such a time as we Christians have our majority back. |
| Date | 07:00:37, August 31, 2005 CET | From | Luthori Green Party | To | Debating the Public Morality |
| Message | BTW, I'm Catholic, and will never vote for bills limiting the rights of non-heterosexuals or non-christians, I'm just too left wing! |
| Date | 13:30:41, August 31, 2005 CET | From | Social Calvinist Unionist Party | To | Debating the Public Morality |
| Message | All this is getting rid of is prostitution! This doesn't limit the rights of non-heterosexuals or non-christians, it limits the rights of pimps. |
