| Message | We removed the death penalty some years ago, and our people have lived well in the meantime. We see no need for a death penalty and we strongly oppose this form of legalized murder. |

| Message | we are not sure about that, we think lethal injection is the least painful form of execution, but maybe the firing squad can be used for traitors and spies |

| Date | 22:16:27, December 21, 2007 CET | From | Parti Marxiste des Travailleurs | To | Debating the Ultimate Justice Act |
| Message | We are against the death penalty, it's a barbarian punishment. And what if their is someone who is innocent? |
| Date | 22:20:12, December 21, 2007 CET | From | Anarchistes pour une Société Libre | To | Debating the Ultimate Justice Act |
| Message | The PBN trusts in the Jelbanian justice system to not make mistakes of that magnitude. |
| Date | 05:39:39, December 22, 2007 CET | From | Centre Démocratique | To | Debating the Ultimate Justice Act |
| Message | We do not want this brutal practice to come to Jelbania. We are shocked and horrified by this legislation. Jesus Christ was sentenced to death by his community. All Christians should oppose this bill. |

| Message | Another victory! Long live the union of the PBN, FMDP, and CUF! |

| Message | Your words are really troublesome...perhaps you should change your name...an alliance with the right is not a good thing for a presumed leftist party. At this point also your position in the cominform and in the anti-fascist front is unexplainable. |
