| Message | a little too extreme |
| Date | 00:08:15, April 12, 2008 CET | From | Deltárska Ľudova Strana | To | Debating the The Environmental Acts of 2559 |
| Message | We disagree. This bill is not extreme enough. We must completely ban all private cars. |
| Date | 02:29:21, April 12, 2008 CET | From | Deltarian Social Democratic Party | To | Debating the The Environmental Acts of 2559 |
| Message | Cars can be completely fossil fuel free and not be a hazard at all to the environment so I don't think that is quiteeee neccessary. |

| Message | But cars require roads, which take up a lot of space and require the destruction of the environment to make way for them. Cars also encourage suburban sprawl. In Malivia, private cars were banned, and it worked great for them. |

| Message | What are people to do to get to a certain location? We can encourage the use of public transport systems through subsidies for public transport and reduction of road building and creation of untouchable environment systems, but we strongly believe that through regulation we can keep urban sprawl to a very small minimum, strongly encourage the use of public transport (through tax breaks for those who don't own a car) and pretty soon we will have a Deltaria where no public cars are a de facto law. |
