| Message | I guess but I'd rather remove the reference to fascism all together unless its a positive reference. |
| Date | 02:30:58, March 02, 2008 CET | From | Kirlawan Popular Front | To | Debating the A very tiny change to the national anthem |
| Message | There is nothing wrong with the grammar, ta very much. You can refer to the singular fascist, just as much to the plural. It's an allusion to the dictator Peter Lucas, but it scans better than using his name (and is also less specific). |
| Date | 05:12:12, March 02, 2008 CET | From | TEA Party | To | Debating the A very tiny change to the national anthem |
| Message | It sounds less confusing to me with the 's' than without. |
| Date | 19:07:28, March 02, 2008 CET | From | Kirlawa Democratic Labour | To | Debating the A very tiny change to the national anthem |
| Message | I understand what you are saying now, but I feel that it sounds better with the "s" added OOC: but that might just be because I'm Scottish! |
| Date | 20:56:11, March 02, 2008 CET | From | Kirlawan Popular Front | To | Debating the A very tiny change to the national anthem |
| Message | Well, we don't see the problem with the anthem as it is, but if enough of the Parties are supportive, we will accept a change. |
| Date | 21:20:30, March 02, 2008 CET | From | Gluaiseacht Shaoráil DhaonlathachIt | To | Debating the A very tiny change to the national anthem |
| Message | We have no preference and the DFM will give the majority our support. |
| Date | 21:47:29, March 02, 2008 CET | From | Fascist Front of Kirlawa | To | Debating the A very tiny change to the national anthem |
| Message | We see no problem with the addition of an 's' but are opposed to the line altogether - the fascist CAN win (and will). |

| Message | In your dreams, mate |
| Date | 20:24:23, March 03, 2008 CET | From | Kirlawan Popular Front | To | Debating the A very tiny change to the national anthem |
| Message | The fascist will not win, as long as there is breath in our bodies. |
| Date | 23:28:14, March 03, 2008 CET | From | Anti Egalitarian Alliance | To | Debating the A very tiny change to the national anthem |
| Message | We can soon fix that mate :D |
| Date | 18:30:40, March 04, 2008 CET | From | Kirlawa Democratic Labour | To | Debating the A very tiny change to the national anthem |
| Message | The fascists will not win for a while, as I see this coalition between the DFM and the Left Coalition lasting for a long time |

Then they came for the trade unionists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me--and by that time no one was left to speak up." - Pastor Martin Niemoller |
