| Message | Why regulate the services? It makes no sense. If the private post offices charge extortionate rates, then everyone will use the national post office. |
| Date | 01:03:06, February 01, 2008 CET | From | 帝国公明党 (Teikoku Kōmeitō) | To | Debating the PPS - Regulation of Post Offices! |
| Message | We've decided we officially don't much care about the issue, however we will vote in favour of it since it goes along with our big government/regulation principles. |
| Date | 04:26:46, February 01, 2008 CET | From | Revolutionary State Socialist Party | To | Debating the PPS - Regulation of Post Offices! |
| Message | Regulation isn't nessisarily monitary in nature. |
| Date | 18:16:16, February 01, 2008 CET | From | Free Democratic Party | To | Debating the PPS - Regulation of Post Offices! |
| Message | Well regulating what services they can provide, where they can/must deliver or what they can/must deliver makes no sense either as if they don't do some services, or deliver in certain places then the nationalised post office will. |

| Message | Its more anti-fraud things. |
| Date | 23:04:31, February 03, 2008 CET | From | Free Democratic Party | To | Debating the PPS - Regulation of Post Offices! |
| Message | That makes no sense, yet again. If the firm commits fraud, it is liable under Sekowan law anyway, furthermore, they'd lose their reputation and customers would not use them. |
| Date | 00:52:05, February 04, 2008 CET | From | Normand Pluralist Party | To | Debating the PPS - Regulation of Post Offices! |
| Message | The FDP is right again. Regulation, in this case, would simply be to reduce competition. |
| Date | 01:34:51, February 04, 2008 CET | From | Revolutionary State Socialist Party | To | Debating the PPS - Regulation of Post Offices! |
| Message | I shall stop trying to the ignorant, you just don't even try to think about opinions outside your own do you. |
| Date | 04:23:37, February 04, 2008 CET | From | Normand Pluralist Party | To | Debating the PPS - Regulation of Post Offices! |
| Message | What purpose would this law serve? Theft is already covered under Sekowan law. Competition would inherently encourage postal services to provide efficient and guaranteed service (or the government post office would easily outcompete them). |
| Date | 21:09:09, February 06, 2008 CET | From | Free Democratic Party | To | Debating the PPS - Regulation of Post Offices! |
| Message | On the contrary USMC, I was debating you, your arguments did not appear to provide any case for regulation. |
