| Message | CP: We hope that you made that comment with your large party tongue firmly lodged against the inside of your cheek. |
| Date | 23:37:49, July 15, 2008 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the The Lefting of Wrongs : Military |
| Message | We are quite serious. We may be the largest party, but the leftists hold control right now. We've comprimised with the other leftist parties, your party only wants to ram policy down the throats of the nation. |
| Date | 00:07:05, July 16, 2008 CET | From | The Green Manalishi Party | To | Debating the The Lefting of Wrongs : Military |
| Message | You are either lying or grossly ignorant CP. We have had to take such a direct stance because of your seeming inability to debate or compromise. We will not be the victims of it. |
| Date | 00:39:44, July 16, 2008 CET | From | Republican Patriciate Coalition | To | Debating the The Lefting of Wrongs : Military |
| Message | Excuse me and what about us? |
| Date | 11:20:00, July 16, 2008 CET | From | The Green Manalishi Party | To | Debating the The Lefting of Wrongs : Military |
| Message | As victims? Well if you have chosen to lie down and let the CP walk all over you then don't look to Al'Badara's main socialist party for help. |
| Date | 11:32:16, July 16, 2008 CET | From | Republican Patriciate Coalition | To | Debating the The Lefting of Wrongs : Military |
| Message | You have misinterpreted us. As the furthest right-wing party we were offended by your assertions that we are grouped with the CP in an inability to debate or compromise. |
| Date | 12:03:36, July 16, 2008 CET | From | The Green Manalishi Party | To | Debating the The Lefting of Wrongs : Military |
| Message | Not at all. We acknowledge and welcome the RPC's robust and open stance on debate and compromise and have sought to follow that line where we can. However, we will not let the CP hijack the politics of this nation by playing outside of those boundaries. |

| Message | ...why can't we be friends....why can't we be friends? |
| Date | 19:35:04, July 17, 2008 CET | From | Republican Patriciate Coalition | To | Debating the The Lefting of Wrongs : Military |
| Message | Actually by not letting this go to debate all you are doing is joining the CP and ruining the democratic process. It doesn't effect them much at all |
