| Message | Article 3 would be just about tolerable, although we do prefer the status quo. Articles 1 and 2 we feel represent an attack on our rich cultural heritage and by all means should be actively worked against in order to preserve all culture, Likaton or Lodamese, within our borders. |
| Date | 10:00:46, January 27, 2008 CET | From | General Confederation of Labour | To | Debating the Cultural Changes |
| Message | Why do you want to centralize everything? Are you stalinist or what? There are 5 nations in this state they each have their own cultures. |
