| Message | We object. Having ID cards makes identification during disasters/emergency's/crime scenes far more easy. |
| Date | 21:35:47, September 07, 2005 CET | From | freedom party | To | Debating the Free People Act |
| Message | yes, our citizens dont even have to carry their ID's. Its a minimal invasion of privacy, for creation of passports, authentication of person and so on. |
| Date | 21:55:15, September 07, 2005 CET | From | Enlightened Socialist Party | To | Debating the Free People Act |
| Message | We disagree with this. It is no infringement on their rights if they do not have to carry them. |
| Date | 13:26:37, September 08, 2005 CET | From | Commercial Freedom | To | Debating the Free People Act |
| Message | We don't see the point of this, we oppose. |
| Date | 18:30:35, September 10, 2005 CET | From | Self Righteous Libertarian Democrats | To | Debating the Free People Act |
| Message | We oppose in the strongest terms any introduction of ID cards. Such cards carry the risk of a police state, and are a fundamental invasion of civil liberties. Voluntary cards will ultimately have the same effect, as there will be pressure placed upon those who have refused for whatever reason by suspicious minds. We will oppose. |
| Date | 20:23:27, September 11, 2005 CET | From | freedom party | To | Debating the Free People Act |
| Message | we just fail to see what a ID card really invades. We always hear the argument, yet we dont know what a card, especially a voluntarily carried one provides, other than a basic information in an emergency or situation where proof of identity is necessary. |
