| Date | 20:55:33, August 22, 2008 CET | From | Socialist League for a new society | To | Debating the Against discrimination Act |
| Message | positive discriminations has its ratio in the necessity to reduce negative discriminations that really exist. So we oppose. |
| Date | 02:20:38, August 23, 2008 CET | From | Federal Rutanian Libertarian Union | To | Debating the Against discrimination Act |
| Message | We also oppose. Although the party does not support positive discrimination in any form, we do not feel that it is up to the government to decide what private interests can and cannot do. |
| Date | 11:15:59, August 23, 2008 CET | From | Rutanian Democratic Forum | To | Debating the Against discrimination Act |
| Message | RDF strongly opposes every discrimination. Discrimination - no, but favorizing some groups again - no. It may have some roots in reducing negative discrimination, but we believe no one should be judged on what he or she is - being a minority, woman or similar, every man and woman should be judged solely on their competence and merit to do the job. We understand the position of Conservatives against this, but think that Libertarian Socialists should show a little bit more feeling for equality - and equality is not made by positive discrimination. What about other parties? |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
