| Message | Well, I certainly hope that TCP shares our concerns with the prospect of introducing slavery to this country. Perhaps you'll have more luck persuading PEPOT that slavery is a good idea, after all, they're not too keen on individual liberty. |

| Message | ummm, excuse me? Not to keen on individual liberty? Please, we're basically the same when it comes to social and civil rights. I'm sorry if I believe free market dosn't mean free people, but to say that we'd even consider being for slaves is insulting. Anyway, we already have slaves in this country, they're called workers. Thankyou. |

| Message | Sorry PEPOT, that was a cheap shot. But I see you have ammunition of your own. The old workers = slaves thing again, that's a good one. |

| Date | 06:12:39, September 12, 2005 CET | From | Corporatism Party | To | Debating the Slavery Act |
| Message | This seems to be a good idea to my party if the sentence of death cannot be applied to offenders of violent crime then maybe we have to look at alternatives like taking away any joy or happiness left in their life for the joy and happiness they stole from another. Prison is bad but not bad enough for people who deserve death sentences. The Corporatism party agrees with this bill. |

| Message | The LP was right, absolutely against this awful proposal |

| Message | Athough no votes in Parliament (yet) I object to the proposal. |
| Date | 16:49:30, September 18, 2005 CET | From | Radical Conservative Party | To | Debating the Slavery Act |
| Message | Why is the proposal so awful? You people don't want the death penalty. What do we do with the serial killers? Life in prison is not enough. |

| Message | Yeah.. this is a pretty bad idea |
