| Message | Who are we to decide what is preverse and what acts are right or wrong. We object strongly to the fact you have highlighted a homosexual act as wrong, or disgusting. Your puritanical proposal should be voted down immediatley, and we shall do all we can to see that it is. |

| Message | It was an examle, I can change it if you want This is not puritanical, this is about observing some decency. If you want to go for a walk you should not need to see people have sex on your journey. Private matters should be private, not for the public view. And of course we can decide what is perverse. Having sex in front of other people is perverse, sex is supposed to be an intimate matter, not one for public viewing. Have the MPFP no values? Would they really not object if a teacher had sex in front of their children's class? |

| Message | We would assume that a teachers contract would consider that malpractice. Howevere who are you to decide that sex has to be an intimate matter. That may well be the beleif of many, ourselves included, but we have no right to enforce that upon all others. You use the word decency, a word that can mean anything th user desires. Hiding behind words will not change the fact that this bill is restrictive, and we shall duly oppose it. |

| Message | Of course it is restrictive, the NA has decided that it views the currnt law as being a bad law, this is our attempt to alter it. Sex is an intimate matter, there is no denying it. It is also a very private matter, a matter that others should not be intruding upon, ever. |
| Date | 21:38:42, November 02, 2005 CET | From |  Mouvement d'Étoile Rouge | To | Debating the Public Decency Bill |
| Message | That you have repeated a number of times. Is that your only argument? I would have to say, I agree with the MPFP on the whole, on this one. |
| Date | 22:46:47, November 02, 2005 CET | From | Action Française | To | Debating the Public Decency Bill |
| Message | For what reason should it be legal to have sex in public? What is right about this? We do not see why people should be allowed to have sex in public, it makes no sense. |

| Message | Oh my god. Are you guys serious!? How could you even consider allowing this to continue? What will this teach our children? Sex should not be some casual, public thing! Count Malifico and the KSL leadership must all be perverted maniacs. |

| Message | We object extremely to this slander of our party leadership. We demand its immediate retraction, or we will have to reconsider our agreement with the slandering party. |

| Message | Great! Both the laws I passed a through years ago probably won't get put through! |

| Message | I don't get that, could you explain a little further. |
| Date | 20:06:51, November 04, 2005 CET | From | Malfico Progressive Fascist Party | To | Debating the Public Decency Bill |
| Message | I think it can be denied that sex is a very intimate matter. Cos you and me baby aint nothing but mammals so lets do it like they do on the discovery channel. |

| Message | Ummm, If I am walking around, I don't want to see some people just randomly screwing on the street. We support this bill. |

| Message | Whilst observing Plato we feel that the human mind is essentially split into three sections, reason, spirit, and appetite. Whilst the MPFP favours its animal side, its appetites, the NA prefers to use it reason, its human side when it comes to deciding policy. However when it comes to fighting we also favour appetite, but thats a stroy for another day. |

| Random fact: Real-life quotations may be used in Particracy, but the real-life speaker or author should always be referenced in an OOC (out-of-character) note alongside the quotation. |
| Random quote: On 7th February 4281 a group of renowned Metzist experts from all across Terra met in Haldor to form the International Committee for the Estimation of the End Date of Capitalism (ICEEDC). With the assistance of a powerful computer, they calculated that capitalism will terminate Terra-wide on 6th November 4320, and in Dorvik on April 17th 4310. We have no reason whatsoever to believe these very eminent and learned scholars are wrong. They have never been wrong about anything before. ~ Friedrich Pfeiffer, General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |
