| Date | 13:57:29, February 17, 2010 CET | From | Narik Nationalestik Parti | To | Debating the Definition of Marriage Act |
| Message | Why should the government only recognise civil marriages between man and woman? The government should recognise all marriages, every person, despite race, sexuality and such, is created equal. Homosexual couples have rights too! This bill makes us, as the DPM, angry, because these proposals only come forth out of brainwashed religious minds. |

| Message | We will be voting in favour of this bill. There is not a religious thread in the this party. The DPM is a prejudice group of finger pointing thugs. This bill shall pass. |

| Random fact: Did you know you can change the official name of your nation? All you need to do is draw up a new name that is in accordance with the Nation Renaming Guide, pass a bill proposing the name change with a two-thirds majority and then post a request to Moderation on the "Renaming Requests" thread. You can change city and region names in this way too. |
