| Date | 19:35:19, July 16, 2008 CET | From | Traditional Conservative Party | To | Debating the Freedom of Speech |
| Message | We agree with the Civic Conservative Party, how can you be a free state, if you don't allow total free speech? You can't let the government determine what is and isn't hate speech. Freedom speech is essential if you want your nation to be a free country, right now, that obviously isn't the case. |
