| Message | We eagerly support the contents of this bill, despite being somewhat worried by its title, since similar titles have been misused in other nations to refer to their programs of very intrusive and inappropriate overreaching by their governments. |
| Date | 07:42:44, September 19, 2008 CET | From | Gluaiseacht Shaoráil DhaonlathachIt | To | Debating the The Patriot Act |
| Message | No, it's a civil right to do so. Of course we do not favour such actions but the DFM does believe that this should not be prohibited. |
| Date | 03:19:46, September 21, 2008 CET | From | Kirlawa Republican Party | To | Debating the The Patriot Act |
| Message | Desecration of our national flag is an important component of the larger right held by the people for freedom of expression. We do not support this bill. |

| Random fact: Players who consent to a particular role-play by acknowledging it in their own role-play cannot then disown it or withdraw their consent from it. For example, if player A role-plays the assassination of player B's character, and player B then acknowledges the assassination in a news post, but then backtracks and insists the assassination did not happen, then he will be required under the rules to accept the validity of the assassination role-play. |
