| Date | 12:27:02, October 06, 2005 CET | From | Luthori Green Party | To | Debating the Fixing luthori |
| Message | In other words, Seosavists, you have my full support. No compromises needed. If you want to add any other proposals, feel free to do so. Let us fix the Commonwealth of Luthori. |
| Date | 13:11:58, October 06, 2005 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Fixing luthori |
| Message | We could agree to article 6, but don't see any particular need for that change given the recent terrorist atrocities. Article 4 represents a reversal of the current position which a compromise, instead of constantly changing the law. I see you are trying to go back to the bad days of old where we were fighting from the extremes instead of meeting in the middle. Trouble-causer! |
| Date | 13:42:38, October 06, 2005 CET | From | Social Calvinist Unionist Party | To | Debating the Fixing luthori |
| Message | I agree with about half of it. You see, on all your non-defence and justice policies, I agree with ye(except for the national anthem singing and the sex on T.V. I swear, do we NEED bestiality on our T.V's?). However, I disagree with ye when it comes to a debate between Local and Federal governments, as well as on all your military and defence articles(Save one: A civilian police force is in place and the military may be called in to help in serious emergencies). And since I put defence, justice, and government before civil rights and all that, I'm afraid I'll have to vote no. |
| Date | 18:52:09, October 07, 2005 CET | From | Seosavists Republican party | To | Debating the Fixing luthori |
| Message | "Someone is a Godless, amoral, communistic heathen." Double YAY! |
| Date | 21:07:49, October 07, 2005 CET | From | Seosavists Republican party | To | Debating the Fixing luthori |
| Message | hey I thought it said the month before, oh well. |
| Date | 22:43:35, October 07, 2005 CET | From | Social Calvinist Unionist Party | To | Debating the Fixing luthori |
| Message | Ooooh, voting "no" to this makes me feel so akward, yet I am a militaristic party... |
| Date | 04:13:13, October 08, 2005 CET | From | Luthori Green Party | To | Debating the Fixing luthori |
| Message | We are only stopping the military being used as a de-facto police force, allowing homosexuals into the army, and making sure WMDs are never used by our armed forces. We are making our military something to be proud of, not something to be ashamed of. That is the cause of the akward feeling for voting no. That and theknowledge of who you are voting no with. |
| Date | 04:22:35, October 08, 2005 CET | From | Social Calvinist Unionist Party | To | Debating the Fixing luthori |
| Message | You will take away our nukes, and we will always be against that. They are a necessary evil. You are also taking away the National Anthem and the Death Penalty. I'm afraid those things rank higher than most everything else on the list(including, of course, allowing really, REALLY weird fetishes to be shown on national television. I mean come ON. That's what the INTERNET is for!) |
