| Message | No to Article 1: a teenager looking for a summer job is considered child labor. If that law were allowed, summer jobs to pay for college, or work on the family farm would be illegal, which to be honest, is silly. No to Article 5 too. Gambling is just legalized stealing. It ruins the lives of many. |
| Date | 11:41:02, May 08, 2009 CET | From | Catholic Movement of Vorona | To | Debating the FDF economic policy |
| Message | I agree with VMM on article 1, however I am in agreement with the rest. |
| Date | 03:36:32, May 10, 2009 CET | From | Republican Populist Party | To | Debating the FDF economic policy |
| Message | Most are a step in the right direction except article 4. We could tolerate small-scale, informal bets, but not massive, evil casinos on our island. |
