| Message | We oppose, naturaly. Why should there be a minium wage if we have other benefits for the poor? |
| Date | 19:51:57, May 29, 2008 CET | From | United Peoples Party | To | Debating the Mimimum Wage |
| Message | The benifits provided may not provide for all the needs of the people. Without decent wages the people can essentially become slave to a corporation, albiet slaves with some government protected benifits. |

| Message | You can't be forced to be a slave of the corporation, but you sure can be forced to become a slave of the government. Freedom of Darnussia Dies. |

| Message | Providing a livable minimum wage hardly constitutes forced slavery to the government. It merely provides the poor with a chance at a decent life. One where they don’t have to work untold hours of the day to support a family. |
| Date | 09:38:26, May 30, 2008 CET | From | Loyalistische Partei | To | Debating the Mimimum Wage |
| Message | No, those who are slaves of the government aren't the ordinary workers. Everyone who holds a nice little restaurant, a pub, little shop and other private enterprisers. And we are not talking about the huge corporations, but small ones that only give their owners very basic level of living. They are not evil capitalists running ja million rupan corporation, they are workers just like anyone. |
