| Date | 19:17:42, February 22, 2008 CET | From |  Christian Communist Party | To | Debating the Multiculturalism Act 2535 |
| Message | We are opposed as we feel that both the flag and the anthem are symbols of a Gishoton nationality not a Hulstrian or a Gao-Showa nationality and at this point of our country's development fostering a national unity within the State is vital. |
| Date | 23:50:08, February 22, 2008 CET | From | People's Radical Party | To | Debating the Multiculturalism Act 2535 |
| Message | We are also opposed, and largely for the same reasons. Honouring the symbols of this nation is something all should do. |

| Random quote: "No one today can afford to be innocent, or indulge himself in ignorance of contemporary governments, politics and social orders. The national polities of the modern world maintain their existence by deliberately fostered craving and fear: monstrous protection rackets. The 'free world' has become economically dependent on a fantastic system of stimulation of greed which cannot be fulfilled, sexual desire which cannot be satiated and hatred which has no outlet except against oneself, the persons one is supposed to love, or the revolutionary aspirations of pitiful, poverty-stricken marginal societies like Cuba or Vietnam. The conditions of the Cold War have turned all modern societies - communist included - into vicious distorters of man's true potential." - Gary Snyder |
