| Message | Why are we testing parents? People don't have the right to reproduce? How Aldous Huxley of you. |
| Date | 22:41:53, March 29, 2008 CET | From | Technocratic Nationalist Party | To | Debating the Trust Our Parents Act |
| Message | We test parents so that we can be certain that they possess the skills and mental stability required for raising happy, healthy children, who eventually grow into productive, law-abiding Dorvish citizens. Also, we do everything in our power to make sure that children in government custody receive the finest care possible; it would be hypocritical of us not to do so. |
| Date | 23:00:02, March 29, 2008 CET | From | Dorvish Popular Front | To | Debating the Trust Our Parents Act |
| Message | We believe it is essential test parents for political competence, and to ensure bourgeois values are not passed down to future generations. |

| Random quote: The Wolfsheim Virus is not a real actual disease in the conventional medical sense of the term. Rather, it is a cluster of symptoms which are just part of the general socio-economic disease that is capitalism. The main symptoms the sufferers are experiencing are a direct result of capitalist poverty, as in malnutrition, poor housing and so on, combined with psycho-somatic symptoms which are a direct consequence of the contradictions and stresses which are inherent to the capitalist system. ~ Friedrich Pfeiffer, General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |
