| Message | We agree only with Article IV, the citizens' right to assemble in public. All other articles we oppose. |
| Date | 19:23:35, December 06, 2007 CET | From | Konservative Monarchistische Partei | To | Debating the Freedom of the Worker Act |
| Message | Fortune has granted you a Left-Wing Extremist coalition, but fortune is fickle. |
| Date | 23:03:14, December 06, 2007 CET | From | Demokratische Republikaner Partei | To | Debating the Freedom of the Worker Act |
| Message | There is nothing left-wing about this. This is simply improving the lives of many Dundorfians, which you do not wish to see. You only wish to see that only those who follow your rule can have good lives. This is good for a better Dundorf. |
| Date | 06:33:56, December 07, 2007 CET | From | Konservative Monarchistische Partei | To | Debating the Freedom of the Worker Act |
| Message | That is a ludicrous assertion. If something is illegal but not prosecuted whom exactly is harmed? The piece of paper on which the law is written? This is not about practicality or the real world, but about a purely symbolic statement. Your purely symbolic statement is that sexual deviants are equal to normal, upstanding citizens, and that they should be accepted by all. Our symbolic statement is that, although the police will stay out of your bedroom, your bedroom should stay out of the public eye. |
| Date | 06:36:14, December 07, 2007 CET | From | Konservative Monarchistische Partei | To | Debating the Freedom of the Worker Act |
| Message | We pledge that we will fight tooth and nail to repeal this blashphemous and idiotic legislation after the next election, and we are confident that the upstanding citizens of our fine nation will express their disgust at your parties' debauchery by voting in solid conservatives like the KMP and our allies. |
