| Message | Article 2 will put us into debt and article 3 infringes on the rights of provincial governments in the area of education. These are 2 things that we cannot allow. |

| Message | "I want equality for all, not complete removal of all governmental responsibility. " The problem is equality for all will never exist, regardless of how many laws or socialst policies you put into place, human beings are not robots, they do not react to things in an expected way. We offer equal oppurtunity for all, you offer nothing less than slavery. |

| Message | I shouldn't say they don't react to things in an expected way, that is untrue, they just don't react to things in an orderly fashion. If you try to force one kind of system upon them that seems like it would work, idealistically anyways, you will find that it will not work, because not all humans have the same values. Like I said, humans are not robots. |

| Message | I am not arguing with you from a libertarian point of view, I am arguing with you from a logical point of view, and logic would indicate that there is no such thing as a "utopia". It simply doesn't work, that is why if you leave people to their own accord, without trying to force a utopia on them, society will function as good as it possibly can function, things that you thought you need to do for the people, will actually be done by the people themselves. |

| Message | No, you're not arguing, you're just blindy shoving your head up your ass and supporting communism. |

| 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 |
