| Message | Err... no. |
| Date | 14:55:32, September 26, 2005 CET | From |  Freedom Party | To | Debating the Helping the people |
| Message | These are terrible bills and will not give the people a helping hand at all How does taking away peoples farms give them a helping hand? How do energy companys that are nationalised and are inefficient, and charge more with no competition give people a helping hand? They dont, we are against this bill in its entirety |

| Message | This is a very tempting offer.... But we're afraid that for now we'll only support the third proposal. |
| Date | 23:33:30, September 26, 2005 CET | From | Liberal Imperialist Party | To | Debating the Helping the people |
| Message | But the third proposal is the MOST pointless. As it stands, the Government offers free housing to the poor, it's just that there is competition for the right to provide that, which drives value for money up. |
