| Message | Really? What makes you oppose the first article. In my opinion, the outlaw of gun ownership shows a small hint of a federal despotism. |

| Date | 13:20:07, September 19, 2005 CET | From | First Socialist Party | To | Debating the Liberty Protection Act |
| Message | We would prefer non-fatal means of law enforcement. And of course you would, because you are a militant party, with no concern for human life. |

| Message | Arm the WORKERS |
| Date | 11:28:58, September 20, 2005 CET | From | Militant Labour Party | To | Debating the Liberty Protection Act |
| Message | That's pretty much what we were getting at. The workers must be armed. Then they can decide whether your rule is acceptable. |
| Date | 12:46:39, September 20, 2005 CET | From | First Socialist Party | To | Debating the Liberty Protection Act |
| Message | Why arm the workers? How are they being oppressed? Oh sorry, THEY AREN'T. Furthermore, they decide who is in power, just like everyone else. The democratic system is not based on money - you don't get more votes if you have more money. They even elected the Militants to power. If they were being oppressed, they would elect the Militants to absolute power. Oh, but wait a minute, THEY AREN'T BEING OPPRESSED. Get real. |
