| Message | Sorry URP, but we feel that allowing religious clothing would signify that religion come before or at the same time as the law. Religious symbols could be worn if fairly small, but there is no such law is there? |

| Message | The separation of State and Church must be preserved. |

| Message | Don't we allow nudity? I guess wearing a veil is more offensive. |
| Date | 06:12:46, April 21, 2008 CET | From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the Clothing Act |
| Message | You are taking nudity out of context. Nudity is allowed in certain places, not everywhere. |
| Date | 06:13:11, April 21, 2008 CET | From | Pariah Idealism | To | Debating the Clothing Act |
| Message | Actually wearing a veil is allowed as long as the reason you wear it is not because of religion. : ) |
| Date | 10:27:35, April 21, 2008 CET | From | Lodamun Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Clothing Act |
| Message | Public officials should be able to wear religious clothing if they want to, but if they ever put religion before the law they would be fired in a instant |
| Date | 21:56:53, April 21, 2008 CET | From | Lodamun Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Clothing Act |
| Message | Denying public officials the right to wear religious clothing would be religious discrimination in favor of secularism |
| Date | 06:12:31, April 27, 2008 CET | From | Pariah Idealism | To | Debating the Clothing Act |
| Message | Public officials should be secular because they are less likely to have a religious discrimination against a religion. |
