| Date | 21:38:33, December 30, 2007 CET | From | Union Hosienne-Démocrate (UHD) | To | Debating the Foreign Aid Act of August 2508 |
| Message | It means we will help them only if they are open to further development; we do not wish to give aid to countries who do not wish to help themselves. And what is wrong with getting something back for our aid? This will, in the long run, help both countries through increased trade, increased opportunities and increased jobs. |

| Message | IT means we restrict their oppurtunities and force them to do business only with ourselves. |

| Message | Where does it say "only with Kanjor" in there? We are not a charity, we have problems that we can use our money for, they can help us help them. |
