| Message | Article 1 does not promote discrimination. Rather creating an environment in which troops keep their sexuality private. There is no need for anyone to make public their personal feelings in the military. It is our opinion that the morale of the military (which is all important) is best served if troops keep their sexuality private. |

| Message | We disagree with articles 1 and 2. Article 1 promotes needless homophobia. Why should heterosexuals be allowed to state what their sexual preferences are without concern whilst homosexuals are not given the same liberty? There is no requirement for article 2. School children should never be made to sing the national anthem, to do so would merely encourage those same children to act against its meaning. They should be allowed to come to learn to love this nation, and its anthem, through their education not because they have been forced to. Article 3 we support. |
| Date | 06:55:42, December 16, 2007 CET | From | Hobrazian Federalist Party | To | Debating the Return to traditonal values. |
| Message | All three articles are representative of further tyranny and must be opposed at all costs. |
