| Message | A mixture of backwards theocracy, and dangerous secrecy. This is a terrible step in the wrong direction for Vorona, something we will not support. |
| Date | 22:10:20, May 05, 2009 CET | From | Order of Saint Rumegius (IA) | To | Debating the Civil Liberties Bill |
| Message | We must agree with the RPP in this case. While we do believe that privacy and segregation are very important matters, they should have been kept in their own seperate bills. Particularly the outlawing of divorce. Certainly, marriage is a sacred thing, but if there is grounded cause, exceptions MUST be made. |
