| Date | 12:54:30, February 10, 2010 CET | From | Telamon Liberal Party | To | Debating the Law Reform |
| Message | I have chosen to reform the main laws that I think Telamon should change in order for more democracy and freedom to the people. For example, crossdressing is a right that people should have if they want it. However, I have requested that all citizens must carry an ID card due to security reasons, and that alcohol should only consumed by adults as alcohol can do great harm to kids and young people. |

| Message | I agree with the Telamon Liberal Party. While I personally find crossdressing distasteful, it is the citizens right to choose whether or not he/she chooses to do so. The government should have no say in personal lives of Citizens. |

| Message | Why are people so concerned about crossdressing? Is there a national epidemic of repressed crossdressers taking their lives because they're being disallowed from crossdressing? I mean really... |
| Date | 20:44:32, February 12, 2010 CET | From | Democratic Capitalist Delegation | To | Debating the Law Reform |
| Message | Due to Article IV, we must oppose this legislation. Carl Ramon Chairman Democratic Capitalist Delegation |
| Date | 20:59:46, February 12, 2010 CET | From | Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Law Reform |
| Message | COM If the government wasn't concerned about Crossdressing it wouldn't have implemented this law in the first place. Its not that there is an epidemic, its the fact that the Government would even consider denying a person a personal right. If the government can do that then why not let the government assign us all uniforms. No, the way a person dresses is their own decision, not the governments. |
