| Message | So long as compensation is not guaranteed, and compensation for seizing, say, a few thousand acres of land could be a tokenistic QUA1. |

| Message | We cannot control the price, or it would not be a neutral body deciding, right? |
| Date | 11:14:30, October 01, 2005 CET | From | Tudeh Party of Quanzar | To | Debating the Eminent Domain |
| Message | So long as we always recognise that there are seizures and not purchases. |
| Date | 15:10:19, October 01, 2005 CET | From | Tories | To | Debating the Eminent Domain |
| Message | This is a ridiculous set of events, why the hell is government seizing property anyway? |
| Date | 18:39:17, October 01, 2005 CET | From | Tudeh Party of Quanzar | To | Debating the Eminent Domain |
| Message | A workers' state reserves the right to seize property from those that don't need it and to redistribute it to those that do. |

| Message | Property rights are not carved in stone in our society. We value people living and working there more. |
| Date | 02:40:45, October 03, 2005 CET | From | Revival Party | To | Debating the Eminent Domain |
| Message | We support this bill as it stands because if we truly wish to defend the people then we must compensate them fairly when we take their land! One who has land that the state needs is just as much a citizen as one who has no land. |
| Date | 09:12:59, October 03, 2005 CET | From | NeoSocialist Party | To | Debating the Eminent Domain |
| Message | Remember that through our laws nationalization is possible only in vital occasions |
