| Message | No. That's totally ridiculous to have several marriage rules and regulations between regions. |
| Date | 16:38:23, November 16, 2007 CET | From | Red Hammer Council | To | Debating the Marriage Reform Act |

| Date | 17:08:59, November 16, 2007 CET | From | Rightist Party | To | Debating the Marriage Reform Act |

| Date | 17:39:41, November 16, 2007 CET | From | Shaman's Voice | To | Debating the Marriage Reform Act |
| Message | Each tribe has it's own traditions. If marriage remains under national regulation, we will be infringing on their rights. |
| Date | 20:33:05, November 16, 2007 CET | From | One Nation Socialist Party | To | Debating the Marriage Reform Act |
| Message | we oppose. inidividuals should be allowed to live their own lives and have a right not to have it restricted by a tribe. if people want to follow the ways of a tribe they are allowed to but such ways shouldn't infringe upon the freedom of others. |
| Date | 23:49:46, November 16, 2007 CET | From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the Marriage Reform Act |
| Message | The government should not involve itself in marriage at all. We are unsure if the current law is any better than the proposed law - neither move toward the ideal. |
| Date | 04:59:10, November 17, 2007 CET | From | Rightist Party | To | Debating the Marriage Reform Act |
| Message | Actually...this law does move towards that ideal as it decentralizes marriage down towards the local government and away from the federal government. |
| Date | 05:21:08, November 18, 2007 CET | From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the Marriage Reform Act |
| Message | Local government and national government are both government. |
| Date | 06:09:09, November 18, 2007 CET | From | Rightist Party | To | Debating the Marriage Reform Act |
| Message | HA! then I demand an apology for all those idiotic statements you've made that they were two separate entities. |
| Date | 07:23:25, November 19, 2007 CET | From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the Marriage Reform Act |
| Message | They are separate entities. They are both governments however. |
