| Message | The current law is nothing but homophobic hate mongering. The proposed law is blatantly discriminatory, but it is a least marginally better. It is no business of the state what gender a person prefers. |

| Date | 18:16:12, February 28, 2008 CET | From | Tukarali Popular Party | To | Debating the Military (Homosexuality) Amendment Act |
| Message | I find the use of the word fascist in this country amusing, it seem to be used by some when in a disagreement. Personaly I think it tells us more about the person using it, than what he is trying to stamp someone else as. |
| Date | 21:39:24, February 28, 2008 CET | From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the Military (Homosexuality) Amendment Act |
| Message | A fascist, in common parlance, is a person who attempts to suppress opinions and groups that they disagree with. It is rarely used to describe the political ideology. |

| Random quote: "We must show that liberty is not merely one particular value but that it is the source and condition of most moral values. What a free society offers to the individual is much more than what he would be able to do if only he were free. We can therefore not fully appreciate the value of freedom until we know how a society of free men as a whole differs from one in which unfreedom prevails." - Friedrich August Hayek |
