| Message | Yes. Affirmative actions, instead of creating equality, only serves to emphasis the difference and reverse the discrimination. |
| Date | 19:15:02, August 19, 2008 CET | From | Socialist Party of Aldegar | To | Debating the Employment Act |
| Message | Affirmative action serves its place as putting minority groups into the workplace and over time healing past regressions. |
| Date | 17:31:56, August 20, 2008 CET | From | Green Party of Aldegar | To | Debating the Employment Act |
| Message | Healing past regressions? We should work towards an egalitarian future. What should be done is to make those institutions and places previously not accepting minority groups to accept them on the same playing field. If they do not want to come/join, then it is their decision. We cannot 'force' them by recruitment quotas, etc. Good thing this bill passed. |
