| Message | This 'law' would give a tiny minority disproportionate power over the greater majority. It would mean that, even where there is clearly demonstrable absolute need for the multitudes (and this IS a densely occupied nation), one selfish landowner can hold the nation hostage. |
| Date | 01:02:16, July 17, 2008 CET | From | Red Tory Party | To | Debating the Private Property Act |
| Message | Go on. |
| Date | 05:26:29, July 17, 2008 CET | From | Berosian Party | To | Debating the Private Property Act |
| Message | Yes, do go on. When might the tiny minority gain power over the greater majority? What is this minority, and what power do they have? The power to own land, like everyone else, and to not have it taken away from them? When might the government actually need to seize private property for ANY reason? |

| Message | "When might the government actually need to seize private property for ANY reason"? It is telling that the Berosian Party needs to even ask this question. Lacking even that kind of understanding is what makes the Berosian Party unsuitable to be making this kind of decision. |
