From | Communist Party of Darnussia | To | Debating the Human Rights Act | | Message | To all parties: This bill is not about the right to get married (if there is such a thing). This is about equality, and the end to the medieval practise of discriminating against someone because of their sexuality. I mean, this is the 30th Century! Surely we can all treat human beings... like human beings. |

From | Narik Nationalestik Parti | To | Debating the Human Rights Act | | Message | OOC: CPD, i'm rp a populist party, but that does not mean we are right-wing, we are not right-winged nor left-winged, we are simply populist and regarding social issues ultraliberal, and regarding economical and immigration issues conservative, just some sort of new populism. 30th century populism ;), we are willing to cooperate with all parties, except fundamentalist religious parties, and anti-civil rights parties. |

From | Narik Nationalestik Parti | To | Debating the Human Rights Act | | Message | IC: We have to treat human beings like human beings, and if some sort of God created all men equal, why should not homosexuals be equal? Equal rights for everybody, that should be the goal of Darnussia. |

From | Libertarian Party of Darnussia | To | Debating the Human Rights Act | | Message | All men are equally guilty yes, and perhaps equally valuable in the eyes of God, that does not mean that the things they do to make them guilty are right. Is a homosexual no more or less valuble to God than a man who is completely straight and has never even had sex outside of marriage with a women, yes. But it has nothing to do with the fact that he is a homosexual, it has to do with the fact that he is human. |

From | Libertarian Party of Darnussia | To | Debating the Human Rights Act | | Message | And the point I just made is irrelevent, because it is not a political argument, and this is a political situation. We do not support government recognition of civil marriages whatsoever. |
| Date | 05:21:47, May 12, 2010 CET |
From | Libertarian Party of Darnussia | To | Debating the Human Rights Act | | Message | The point I was trying to make was that all men are naturally sinful. Not all men commit the same actions, but they are all guilty of some type sin, and in God's eyes, no sin is acceptable, that is why it is called sin. |

From | Communist Party of Darnussia | To | Debating the Human Rights Act | | Message | Yes, alright. We understand you do not support recognition of civil marriages, but that doesn't mean you can deny homosexuals the same opportunities as heterosexuals. |

From | Buidheann Saorsa | To | Debating the Human Rights Act | | Message | Stop living politically by third grade logic. Open your mind you communist. |

I do not attempt to deny homosexuals the same opportunities has heterosexuals, where did you get that from? I do not support the criminalization of homosexuality, infact, I support the opposite. This does not mean I think homosexuality is right. My political views are not necessarily coming from the Bible, I don't know what makes you think this. |
