| Message | Yikes! No offense, but this is insane. Why are we limiting foreign invesment in our companies? Shouldn't we promote investment rather than make it nearly impossible? |
| Date | 15:51:22, October 08, 2008 CET | From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the Foreign Investments Act 2648 |
| Message | It is NATIONAL companies. Don't the owners of a private company have to authorize investments in their company? The national government is an owner as well and it will do the same under this law. |

| Message | National companies are merely companies in the nation - not nationalized industries. Read the options and I think it's clear what this bill means and it's not what you claim as usual. |

| Message | It can be interpreted both ways. National could mean nationalized or those companies whose headquarters are in the country. We choose to interpret it one way, you choose to interpret it in another way. Deal with it. |
| Date | 01:53:59, October 09, 2008 CET | From | United Republics Party | To | Debating the Foreign Investments Act 2648 |
| Message | Your interpretation is wrong as usual. Read the other options - they make no sense under your reading of the law. But we'll just have to deal woth liberal ignorance as usual |
| Date | 04:26:46, October 09, 2008 CET | From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the Foreign Investments Act 2648 |
| Message | Well, the law is going to pass. So, we recommend you save your arguments for later. |

| Random fact: It is possible for a player to transfer ownership of a character or a royal house to another player. This should be done in a public way, such as on the Character Transfers thread, so that if a dispute arises in the future, Moderation can be pointed towards evidence of the transfer. |
