| Message | "Like all species, mankind will eventually become extinct, but we propose our species could and should be intelligent and responsible enough to voluntarily accept early extinction, on the basis that the welfare and continuance of life on Terra as a whole is more important than the survival of our uniquely parasitical species." hèhèh |
| Date | 02:25:20, June 07, 2008 CET | From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the Abolition of Breeding Subsidies Act |
| Message | These two should be split up into separate bills. In addition, it is in society's best interests to have child benefits and nurseries. It is well known that children from poor families are disproportionately involved in crime, and providing benefits seeks to reduce that. Nurseries allow parents to go into the workforce while their children are young, which helps the economy. |
