| Message | The reform speaks for itself. If we allow young children to witness video games of subversive, innapropriate or violent themes, then we have failed as a mature government. |

| Message | Who would be so innapropriate as to go against this bill? We have the resposibility as a government to support parents and deter the correlation between violent video games and criminal youth who are affected by it. |
| Date | 08:59:09, August 24, 2009 CET | From | Kolonial Partei | To | Debating the Video Game regulation |
| Message | The correlation between violent/criminal behavior and video games has not been proven to be a causal relationship. There are other preexisting factors that tend to be the cause behind their violence |

| Message | But it's still moral to pass this legislation on the grounds that a toddler could theoretically watch a gory video game |
| Date | 11:51:48, August 25, 2009 CET | From | Autoritäre Reich Allianz | To | Debating the Video Game regulation |
| Message | It may be moral, but it isn't the governments responsibility to decide that, this should be left up to parents, who would have to purchase such items. |
