| Date | 14:46:21, April 20, 2009 CET | From | Labour Party of Ikradon | To | Debating the Religious Freedom Bill |
| Message | We believe in freedom of religioun, and that means that religious schools have to be allowed to exist. The schools are strictly regulated, and we assume that regulation will ensure that the indocrination is not too extreme |

| Message | You can't be serious! What's wrong with a STRICTLY REGULATED religious school? Do any of you think religion has no place in our society??? |
| Date | 06:09:02, April 21, 2009 CET | From | Communist Party of Ikradon | To | Debating the Religious Freedom Bill |
| Message | We applaud the decision of the Labour Party and are more trusting of their judgement. BF, we do not feel religion has a place in society but fully support the right of every person, young or old, to decide for themselves what religion they practice. Religious schools take this right away. You cannot support religious freedom and religious schools. |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
