| Message | Children, who spend most of their time during daylight hours, can be easily influenced by nudity shown on television. Showing all of this explicit content during the night will allow explicit material to not damage the developing minds of children. |
| Date | 18:26:05, December 06, 2007 CET | From | Nazunist Moderate Party | To | Debating the Nudity |
| Message | Also, public nudity should not be allowed in public areas, saving beaches and nudist colonies. |

| Message | We support this bill |

| Message | What an absurd bill. If people want to walk down the street naked what right should the state have to stop them? The only reason why nudity seems harmful to the NMP is that they're infested with the very same moral puritanism that turned our bodies into sexual objects in the first place (by portraying them as something dirty which has to be kept hidden). If this passes you can be sure of an immediate nude protest by LSE members in the National Assembly. We also see no reason why sexually explicit material should be restricted to certain times of the day. Children have a sexuality as well and the sooner they learn about it the better. Certainly of concern is material which promotes violent or degrading sexual acts, and which consequently reinforces male domination in our society, but we must remind the NMP that such material is already illegal in New Endralon. |

| Message | If a person chooses, God have mercy, to walk down the street naked, many people may be offended. This can cause people to complain to the government and cause a big hullaballou, wasting valuable time and money that can be used more effectively and in matters of greater concern. |
| Date | 01:58:45, December 07, 2007 CET | From | Libertarian Socialists of Endralon | To | Debating the Nudity |
| Message | If anyone is offended by the human body then they are the ones who obviously have the problem and we don't see why the state should restrict the freedoms of everyone else in order to cater for the irrational concerns a few puritanical idiots. |
| Date | 02:05:47, December 07, 2007 CET | From | Nazunist Moderate Party | To | Debating the Nudity |
| Message | Indeed, you are a word smith and a diplomat. We are not proposing to stop people from walking down the street nude, simply placing a punishment on such a practice. Feel free to do so yourself. |
| Date | 04:05:54, December 07, 2007 CET | From | Libertarian Socialists of Endralon | To | Debating the Nudity |
| Message | And what right does the state have to make it a punishable offence for people to dress, or not to dress, in a certain way? Our bodies belong to us and noone else and if we want to walk around naked there is nothing which can legitimately interfere with that decision. |
| Date | 05:30:17, December 07, 2007 CET | From | Nazunist Moderate Party | To | Debating the Nudity |
| Message | I fear that you have taken quixotic stance on our constitution, allowing it to become your noose. Generally, and sadly, people are put off by the image of a naked person where they are not expecting one to be. The slim minority of nudists cannot outweigh the majority of people who dress, and expect of other people the same. |
| Date | 05:49:26, December 07, 2007 CET | From | Libertarian Socialists of Endralon | To | Debating the Nudity |
| Message | If most people are unwilling to show their bodies in public it is because the effects of hundreds of years of puritanical brainwashing do not disappear overnight. Anyway lots of things are (rightly or wrongly) expected of people by our society but they are not all enforced by the law. The general principle should be that people are free to do whatever they want provided it doesn't harm or take away the freedom of anyone else. |

| Message | You may be able to blame the problems of today on the past, but that doesn't change the fact that some people are offended. Only gradually can we come to total tolerance of each other. |
