| Date | 23:44:20, October 08, 2005 CET | From | Progressive Democracy Party | To | Debating the Postal Safety Enhancement Act |
| Message | It is dangerous to leave a matter of safety over to private interests. |
| Date | 04:51:21, October 09, 2005 CET | From | Parti Monarchiste Catholique | To | Debating the Postal Safety Enhancement Act |
| Message | A private company will probably deliver mail faster than a government postal agency. Also, we voted in favor of the aforementioned bill. |

| Message | This isn't about who delivers faster. This is about the people's CHOICE. It's national security versus fast delivery of mail. Where are your priorities? |
| Date | 21:40:53, October 09, 2005 CET | From | Parti Monarchiste Catholique | To | Debating the Postal Safety Enhancement Act |
| Message | Forgive me, but I do not see the pressing national secuirty concern as regards mail delivery. |

| Message | Mail can surely be used for contact between anyone who is plotting horrid crimes, and as a means for chemical warfare. Mail is usually handled by the government with good reason in many other nations. |
| Date | 01:24:12, October 10, 2005 CET | From | Parti Monarchiste Catholique | To | Debating the Postal Safety Enhancement Act |
| Message | Yes but most governments do not screen every letter or package that their postal service delivers. The only way the government postal service could stop people "who are plotting horrid crimes" from communicating with each other through mail would be to read everyone's mail. I personally don't want the government reading my mail. Do you? |
