| Message | The age of adulthood is 18, so the age at which one leaves secondary education should be 18 too. |
| Date | 04:37:13, April 29, 2005 CET | From | Radical Centrists | To | Debating the Education Age Act |
| Message | Agree. |
| Date | 07:43:36, April 29, 2005 CET | From | Free Reform Coalition (FRP) | To | Debating the Education Age Act |
| Message | We will move to a vote soon, unless there are parties who still wish to discuss this. |
| Date | 15:12:40, April 29, 2005 CET | From | LibCom Party | To | Debating the Education Age Act |
| Message | The age at which one leaves secondary education *is* generally 18. We currently require two years of further education beyond this, and the LCP can see no good reason for this to change. |
| Date | 03:42:36, April 30, 2005 CET | From | Social Republican Party | To | Debating the Education Age Act |
| Message | This currently includes internships, aprenticing, and vocational schools. |
| Date | 07:43:40, May 05, 2005 CET | From | Protectorate Party | To | Debating the Education Age Act |
| Message | We'll do everyone the favor and not start the debate on the issue of apprenticeships etc again. See the record on previous bills on this matter if desired. |
| Date | 07:56:58, May 05, 2005 CET | From | Leviathan Party | To | Debating the Education Age Act |
| Message | Of course the PP is right, but then this issue has already been visited and we know it won't pass. What, then, is the rationale for putting it forward again, when the FRP has made no move towards trying to gain the support of parties who they know are opposed to their bill? |

| Random quote: "The European Union and environmental advocacy groups use global warming hysteria to advance their own special agendas. The European Union recognizes any significant reduction in CO2 emissions by the United States will significantly reduce its economic output, thereby bringing it closer to the inferior output of European nations. Environmental advocacy groups work to stifle economic and industrial progress wherever they find it to inhibit the successful advancement of peoples in developing nations, inevitably making mankind a second class citizen of planet Earth." - Dr. Jay Lehr |
