| Date | 21:57:12, July 17, 2008 CET | From | Socialist Party of Kalistan (SPoK) | To | Debating the Civil Rights Omnibus Act of 2606 |
| Message | LPK, you would support legalized beastiality but not government owned and operated sports clubs?! That's straight out hilarious! That is almost worth taking 6 and 7 off just to see how the votes would turn out. I mean, I would expect the Pan-sexual Peace Party (being that they are pan-sexual) to support that, but, really? Government owned and operated Sports clubs are really that offensive?! On second thought, I don't really want beastiality to be legal, so I'll leave government owned sports clubs on the bill and just use that from now on as my poison pill. |

| Date | 00:29:54, July 18, 2008 CET | From | Socialist Party of Kalistan (SPoK) | To | Debating the Civil Rights Omnibus Act of 2606 |
| Message | See, who knew the Government run sports clubs would be the line that split left and right in this country? |
