| Message | Once more another attempt to corrupt this nations moral fibre by the Liberal's and Socialist's. How will it make this nation any better if prostitute's are allowed to roam our neighbourhoods? How will it make this nation any better if fathers become addicted to gambling and cannot maintain their families? How will it make this nation any better if groups of rowdy youths are allowed free reign to terrorise locals without the police being able to do anything? And do not even get us started on the proposals to remove a Judge's ability to track individuals! How on earth can we tackle terrorism if our law enforcement agencies are not even allowed to monitor dangerous individuals? It's insane! This shouldn't be named the 'Civil Freedom Act' it should be named the 'Criminal Freedom Act'! |

| Message | My dear friend. Let me first address the issue of your rather ignorant accusation, of calling me a Socialist. For your information, socialism is perhaps the exact opposit of what my party stands for. I do sincerly apologize however for not making the fact that I am a libertarian clear. I, being the fool that I was, thought that by putting the term LIBERTARIAN in my party's name and description that it would inform literate people of my party's political ideology. Apearently I was wrong and for this I am deeply sorry. But perhaps you are confusing the term libertarian with the term socialism. Now I pray that I don't insult your inteligence and infinitly deep wisdom but I shall point out that Socialism and Libertarianism are exact opposits on the Political spectrum. DEFINITION OF SOCIALISM: Any of various theories or systems of social organization in which the means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy DEFINITION OF LIBERTARIANISM: One who advocates maximizing individual rights and minimizing the role of the state Also I shall point out that socialism only refers to economic matters, and this bill relates to civil freedoms. Finaly, I must express my extreem fear of the future of our nation. If the party which wants to make governmnet a "Moral Authority" can't even distinguish between Libertarianism and Socialism then I daresay that we are in for one rough ride. Anyway, I hope that your vastly deep fountain of intelect didn't just suffer a cataclysmic event and actually have to think. A good day to you. |

| Message | As Shakespeare once said "a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet"; Well a socialist by any other name is just as treacherous. But we're not here to debate over whether your party is socialist or liberal, rather we are here to debate this bill and the fact that you have answered none of our concerns indicates that there is no defence for the reckless proposals put forward here. I sincerely hope that for the moral good of this nation that this bill is defeated. |

| Message | 1: I don't agree with this. The police should be allowed to break up mobs. 2: I've spent far too long to bring that bill in to give it up. 3: I'm a bit iffy on this one. Legalising gambling will cause a problem. 4: There are many cases where privacy must be removed to ensure the safety of the people. However, the use of irrelevant information should be outlawed. 5: Hmm, there are prostitutes already, and most of them would be diseased by now. Would legalising prostitution counter the spread of infection? |
