| Message | 'Members shall be executed, pending convictions of involvement.' The proposal made to change the laws regarding the application of the death penalty would not allow you to execute them. |

| Message | Pure insanity. Execute members of cooperatives? Why not nuke them, since the Remnants are obviously moving to be more extreme than ever before? |

| Message | "'Members shall be executed, pending convictions of involvement.' The proposal made to change the laws regarding the application of the death penalty would not allow you to execute them." Membership is to be considered a crime against humanity. Does this need to be specified? |
| Date | 22:04:54, September 29, 2005 CET | From | Cooperative Commonwealth Federation | To | Debating the They that live by the sword shall perish with the sword |
| Message | We hope that no parties will agree to share power in the future with the Remnants, whose policies seem to have degenerated to a single-issue campaign for state-sanctioned murder. |

| Message | We have other issues as well. Those who violate the rights of others through environmental pollution were to be executed as well, however, the proposal is already implemented. |

| Message | huh? |

| Message | (IC) No longer shall such trespasses be tolerated. The Faithful shall cleanse this land of all who trespass upon others. This includes those that allow the government to steal on their behalf, and those that harm others through environmental negligence. These two issues are linked, so shall the punishment be the same. ((The industrial pollution restrictions are already at the maximum, I can't strengthen them any more. Part of the new identity I'm dabbling with will be an eco-psycho aspect. Conveniently, I can use eco-capitalist and libertarian environmentalist concepts for this. Im not certain of the whole picture, but a simple "unbelievers/sinners must die" attitude can be applied to most anything. Therefore Im using it as a starting point to build the new party from the old.)) |

| Message | Sorry, I made a vocabulary mistake in the description. It has been corrected, no one is advocating trials after execution. |

| Message | This seems more like the remnants of the cult trying to deal with their vendettas then actual legislation. |
