| Message | This piece of legislation is not necessary. I disagree with the bill because I believe minors should be educated until they are legally adults (18). If they were allowed to leave school before this time... what would be the point? |

| Message | They are legally adults in Hulstria at age 17. i agree with you, thats why i want to lower the age to the current adult age. |

| Message | I believe the adult age should be increased to 20. It seems logical to the KP that if your eigh-TEEN then you're still a teenager. |

| Message | My apologies, I thought the adult age was 18. I will vote for this legislation. |

| Message | well KP, you're opinion is unintelligent. basing compulsory schooling on the suffix of a word is idiotic, especially when the legal adult age is seven-TEEN. |
| Date | 17:30:40, August 27, 2009 CET | From | Konstitutionelle Monarchie Partei | To | Debating the Schooling Age Proposal |
| Message | I think it should remain at 18, seems like a reasonable age. |
| Date | 01:53:07, August 28, 2009 CET | From | Autoritäre Reich Allianz | To | Debating the Schooling Age Proposal |
| Message | But isn't leaving it at eighteen diminishing an adults freedom to choose? Why should we force them to be educated for one more year after they legally become adults, and have to be independent? |

| Message | The more education you get, the bigger the success. |
| Date | 06:20:52, August 28, 2009 CET | From | Königs Reichspartei | To | Debating the Schooling Age Proposal |
| Message | It's a shame the Artlicle can't be changed to: School is compulsory till (any age), however students who wish to seek an apprenticeship may leave school prematurely. |
