| Message | So unrestricted public nudity is ok? But burning the flag in protest isn't? And what respect for institutions, you mean like someone shouldn't riot against a state institution? How much respect are you talking about? |

| Date | 01:28:22, January 09, 2008 CET | From | Démocrates de la Gauche | To | Debating the The Freedom of Speech Act of 2512 |
| Message | So you consider throwing people in prison for this? You can make any object an object of nationl unity and cohesion should those people be thrown in prison too? My point is that you should not throw people in prisons for an act of freedom of speech. And burning the flag is an act of speech. |
