| Message | "Greed" means wanting to keep your own money, "Need" means wanting other people's money, "Compassion" is when a politician arranges the transfer. There is no compassion in forcibly taking money from working citizens and giving it to those who don't work for as long as they 'need' it at a standard living above basic. That, is morally wrong. |

| Message | We agree with our honourable friends in the Classic Liberal Party. |
| Date | 18:00:14, January 07, 2008 CET | From | Egalitarian Party | To | Debating the Compassion Bill |
| Message | Everyone can fall on hard times. The country should support those that can not support themselves untill they can stand again on there own two feet. |
