| Date | 22:45:01, December 29, 2007 CET | From | Democratic Labour Party of Cobura | To | Debating the Luxury Tax Cut |
| Message | "The RPC is now trying to re-write history and create a dream land where they seem to believe that when they are in government, that everything is perfect, and the very second they leave government, everything falls apart and chaos errupts. I believe tha tthe people of Cobura will see through the lies of the RPC, and see them for what they really are, and that is a party that puts idealogy before pragmatism, a party that accuses any oppisition party of being fascist, or traitors, your true colours have been shown time and time again." Chancellor Michael Evans |

| Message | Is there anything to laugh about your statement: "I wasn't appraising them. I just said I hope they come back and get you. I would laugh sooooo hard. :D" Considering that my grandfather was murdered by bolshevics , i see this just unspeakable (pretty much if i would be appraising hittler to jewish person) ????? |

| Date | 22:51:03, December 29, 2007 CET | From | Revolucia Partio de Koburo | To | Debating the Luxury Tax Cut |
| Message | No, LRP, it's because you always compare us to the Bolsheviks, that when you actually came into contact with them you'd realise what a fool you'd been to characterise us in such a manner. Is that clearer or should I draw you a diagram? |
| Date | 22:51:30, December 29, 2007 CET | From | Coburan Reform Party | To | Debating the Luxury Tax Cut |
| Message | (OOC: You should aplogise to the LRPC, RPC, that was really out of order) |

| Message | "Yes, Mr. Evans. Very good for a show pony politician. At least we stand for something, while you merely stand for your own careers, the ruthless careerists that you all are. You have no principles, no ideas and no conviction. You are so devoid of any creativity or inspiration, that your politics is practically extinct. You are a dodo government. What do you stand for? Privatisation? You give us vague, clichéd words about creating a free and fair society, and yet your actions act in the opposite manner. Yes, we are idealists. We are revolutionaries, and fucking proud of it." |
