| Message | While we believe this bill is a step in the right direction from the current policy that fails to respect even the single unit of the nation, the sanctity of the individual citizen, it does not move far enough from the oppressions of our past. How can this government claim to represent all the people if they continue to assume their consent? It cannot. Consent must be given by the individual for their actions, even in death. |

| Message | No one should have the right to deny another the right to live without cost to themselves. |
| Date | 00:21:20, February 27, 2009 CET | From | Roccato Anarcho-Syndicalist Union | To | Debating the Individual Sovereignty Act of 2717 |
| Message | Whether or not corpse mutilation is a cost for the victim is a theological argument. It ought to be left up to individuals to decide. |

| Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
