| Message | We have a vast library system already. When we decentralized it we dident close those already existing down, we just transfered the control of them to our local governments |

| Message | To be honest I don't understand how people vote here. When we changed this law not too long ago, most parties voted for it, now you are reversing it. Like LLP said, we only transfered control the loca governments, they did not close down. |

| Message | The tide has turned against LP's decentralism obviously. |

| Message | The central government should not control everything. There are things that must be left up to the local governments to decide. Do you know what is best for every person in Lodamun? Can one law satisfy or apply fairly to every citizen in Lodamun? The answer is NO. |

| Message | I believe local governments could still establish libraries. |
| Date | 05:36:52, April 21, 2008 CET | From | Pariah Idealism | To | Debating the Libraries are the path to education |
| Message | LP we should at least fund the libraries under 'The national government provides local governments with funding to operate libraries.' Otherwise some places will have no libraries! |
| Date | 22:12:16, April 21, 2008 CET | From | Lodamun Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Libraries are the path to education |
| Message | we think this option is the best we do want an extremly small government keeping out of our citizens life, but also because we oppose government overspending and our aim is to keep the government spending to a absolute minimum (we will propose to reduce the military spending alot after the war ends) |
| Date | 05:02:51, April 22, 2008 CET | From | United Republics Party | To | Debating the Libraries are the path to education |
| Message | We are nearly as radical as the LLP, but make an exception for libraries, museums, and higher education. |
| Date | 03:25:46, April 25, 2008 CET | From | Pariah Idealism | To | Debating the Libraries are the path to education |
| Message | I have no problem with political opinion. Yes, we are almost overspending, but things like this should not be treated like secondary items. Education and access to educational materials is more important than war. Do you not agree? |
