| Message | State regulation of prostitution allows us to keep prostitutes safe from abuse and violence, puts a stop on the slavetrade, helps reduce the problems with drugs, diseases and 'incidental' crime... and helps us keep this industry clean, safe and taxable. Making prostitution illegal has NEVER, in any country, in history, stopped it happening. It just sends it underground, connects it with the criminal community, and causes harm and even deaths. Morals are in ther eye of the beholder. The Spenocrats call whores immoral. We think the Spenocrats are immoral for trying to hurt women who have chosen to trade favours for income. |

| Message | For once, we agree with the TCP. The Spenocrats are lost. |
| Date | 05:29:35, July 27, 2008 CET | From | Red Tory Party | To | Debating the Anti-Monopoly Act |
| Message | We wholesomely agree with the SuDP. Regulation of prostitution is the best way to tackle it. Although we feel that a state monopoly isn't necessary. |
| Date | 17:30:11, July 27, 2008 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Anti-Monopoly Act |
| Message | We're flexible on how it should be regulated, but regulated, it must be. |
| Date | 22:19:44, July 27, 2008 CET | From | Berosian Party | To | Debating the Anti-Monopoly Act |
| Message | While the Berosian party agrees strongly that there should be no monopoly on any industry or labour, we feel that this act is taking away an industry, which is worse still. If a citizen wishes to do whatever they wish with their body, then they may, so long as that does not infringe on the rights of another citizen. |
