| Message | The slave issue is a touchy one. We shall deal with it when it arrives. |
| Date | 11:37:41, June 09, 2008 CET | From | Republican Patriciate Coalition | To | Debating the The power of Justice |
| Message | We do not propose actually allowing slavery in it's pure form. However, for people who ruin the lives of others in greed and selfishness you must agree it is a suitable punishment? |
| Date | 01:03:12, June 10, 2008 CET | From | Enlightened Cosmic Brotherhood | To | Debating the The power of Justice |
| Message | Indeed. What we meant is for slavery to be done in such as way as was permitted by our ancestors (Islamic slavery versus North Atlantic slavery. The idea of being indentured for a period of time until the debt is done, for the slave to own slaves himself, and not the whip-crackin-cotton-pickin-national disgrace that was slavery in the West) |
