| Message | Ladies and Gentlemen, We are proposing this because it is obvious that the local governments have failed in their regard to safeguard our nations forest. This is why we need a national agency to make sure that all of our forests are safeguarded. |
| Date | 00:09:22, March 04, 2008 CET | From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the National Forestry Act |
| Message | Quite the opposite in fact. Local governments have been entirely capable of maintaining forests. Forestry has increased at a sustainable level. Nowhere in our great nation are forests being destroyed. Local governments own the forests, and the national government has no right to remove their power. |

| Message | We could lend our support |

| Message | We are with JUP on this one.. Keep the central governments out of this, and things will go just fine. |

| Message | Apparently it is not well known that we are losing forests at a rapid rate because of the idiocy of both the JUP and the TPP. It is apparent that both parties do not support the ecology of our nation. We at the National Level have every right to make sure that our nations forests are protected. The Local Governments are not doing this and they ought to be condemned. |

| Message | Well you see that's just plain not true. Something's not true just because you say it's true. |
| Date | 04:43:42, March 05, 2008 CET | From | Rightist Party | To | Debating the National Forestry Act |
| Message | Well you see, your statement is false. Just because you say it does not make it true. We have reports from all over the country of forests being knocked down because of the local governments failure to do anything about it. They do not care about the ecology of our nation any more than you do. |
| Date | 22:45:26, March 05, 2008 CET | From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the National Forestry Act |
| Message | Obviously your information is false then, because studies by several universities have shown that forests are recovering in marginal areas because of more area-specific regulations that local governments are able to enforce. |
| Date | 01:36:11, March 06, 2008 CET | From | Rightist Party | To | Debating the National Forestry Act |
| Message | And I have studies by several universities that state the fucking opposite. |
| Date | 01:43:47, March 06, 2008 CET | From | Tukarali Graenix Party | To | Debating the National Forestry Act |
| Message | I'll go by the JUP's studies, oppose |
| Date | 02:12:38, March 06, 2008 CET | From | Rightist Party | To | Debating the National Forestry Act |
| Message | So you support clear cutting eh TGP? Fine...ignore all the studies that have been done showing that local governments do not give a shit about the environment nor about the animals that have to live with said decisions. |
| Date | 06:42:16, March 06, 2008 CET | From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the National Forestry Act |
| Message | Rightist, you're sounding like JDW. |
| Date | 14:20:36, March 06, 2008 CET | From | Rightist Party | To | Debating the National Forestry Act |
| Message | I'm sounding like JDW? I do not see me calling everyone a fascist! |
| Date | 20:08:43, March 06, 2008 CET | From | Rightist Party | To | Debating the National Forestry Act |
| Message | I see this nation loves clear cutting. |
