| Message | We cannot accept article one, as it will threaten the basic rights of women. |
| Date | 15:51:11, August 05, 2009 CET | From | People's Party - Republican Democrats | To | Debating the Devolution Bill of 2797 |
| Message | Err ... fishing quotas? We should probably all stop referring to articles by their numbers, as they tend to change occasionally. |

| Date | 09:10:40, August 06, 2009 CET | From | Social Justice Party | To | Debating the Devolution Bill of 2797 |
| Message | We support all articles. The local governments are more intimate with these issues and local cultural norms and would be able to craft better policies on them. |
| Date | 12:00:39, August 06, 2009 CET | From | Green Party of Aldegar | To | Debating the Devolution Bill of 2797 |
| Message | Absolutely. And legal protection for prostitutes, i.e. basic human rights, can be sacrificed in the name of cultural norms. |

| Random quote: "In Germany they first came for the Communists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me--and by that time no one was left to speak up." - Pastor Martin Niemoller |
