| Message | Again, we would like to remind all of you that we don't intend to remove the freedom of speech. We just want it to be used properly and not abused. Remember: FREEDOM IS NOT ABSOLUTE. IF IT WAS, WE WOULD BE DEAD. |
| Date | 14:36:18, November 27, 2007 CET | From | Alorian Free Democrats | To | Debating the Hatred-Free and Falsehood-Free Media of 2492 |
| Message | Laws against publishing proven falsehoods are negotiable. Hate speech, however, is far too fuzzy a term to introduce when it comes to freedom of speech. |
| Date | 04:06:48, November 28, 2007 CET | From | Industrialist Party of Aloria | To | Debating the Hatred-Free and Falsehood-Free Media of 2492 |
| Message | Freedom, currently, isn't absolute. The people must fight to make it that way. |
