| Date | 19:56:31, April 26, 2008 CET | From | Judiciary Patriciate Coalition | To | Debating the Womans Rights Bill |
| Message | Women should have rights to divorce, as mistreating husbands present a very real problem in society together with domestic violence. As to the first proposal, we may support it, as women are needed to nourish and raise children and keep the home, a position they are both more willing and more capable at then men. |

| Random fact: Did you know you can change the official name of your nation? All you need to do is draw up a new name that is in accordance with the Nation Renaming Guide, pass a bill proposing the name change with a two-thirds majority and then post a request to Moderation on the "Renaming Requests" thread. You can change city and region names in this way too. |
