| Message | "A vote against this is a sign of no respect whatsoever for the moral and religious convictions of a large part of the population." Moral and religious convictions of the populace? Last time I checked most of them were secularists and a majority believed in progressive and non-restrictive laws concerning morality and civil liberties. You call yourself a socialist when you have continually moved in the direction of leftist populism for political expediency. |
| Date | 16:35:31, September 21, 2005 CET | From | RSDP - Democratic Front | To | Debating the Public Decency Act |
| Message | Most of the people may be non-restrictive and progressive, as are a large majority of the members of the RSDP, but we believe that it is the right of all citizens not to be forced to look at someone else's private parts. |
| Date | 19:51:30, September 21, 2005 CET | From | Freedom Party | To | Debating the Public Decency Act |
| Message | In this instance, i bet you wont stand up for moral and religious convictions on other issues |

| Message | Do you actually believe that yourself? |

| Message | "Most of the people may be non-restrictive and progressive, as are a large majority of the members of the RSDP, but we believe that it is the right of all citizens not to be forced to look at someone else's private parts." Then what they have to do is called "averting their eyes for a few seconds". It's really quite simple and takes very little practice.. |

| Random quote: As for rape, of course, that is a direct consequence of the capitalist system of oppression. Capitalism relies on fuelling division and resentment to sustain itself, and so it sets men against women, race against race and so on. Men rape women because they are being oppressed by capitalism, so they take it out on women. Under Communism, there will be no rape, because there will be a full and natural harmony and equality between the genders. ~ Friedrich Pfeiffer General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |
