| Message | Absolute garbage. |
| Date | 21:01:14, February 24, 2009 CET | From | Constitutionalist Imperial League (IA) | To | Debating the Education Privatization Act of 2716 |
| Message | Absolute garbage is what the socialists like the so called "People's Democratic Party" have been giving to Luthori with the systematic abolition of ecnomic and personal rights. Might we suggest the party be renamed the "Luthori Communist Party", as the PDP wishes nothing but absolute servitude to the state and no freedom, which is an inherent part of democracy, for the people of this glorious empire. |
| Date | 21:59:16, February 24, 2009 CET | From | Parti Imperial du Peuple (IA) | To | Debating the Education Privatization Act of 2716 |
| Message | Education is entirely private and schools run on a for-profit basis. Is something that not even I would sumbit to. There does need to be some form of public Education, otherwise you will end up creating two classes. So I ask the members of the Diet to keep my father's stance on the status quo. |
| Date | 12:14:42, February 25, 2009 CET | From | Liberal Democratic Party of Luthori | To | Debating the Education Privatization Act of 2716 |
| Message | The LDP strongly supports this proposal. |
| Date | 15:44:57, February 25, 2009 CET | From | Constitutionalist Imperial League (IA) | To | Debating the Education Privatization Act of 2716 |
| Message | There does not need to be some form of public education. The private sector is, as always, more efficient than the government in providing services. The role of the government is to protect the population from physical threats, not to redistribute wealth and act as a welfare state. |
