| Message | Disgusting. |
| Date | 19:48:08, May 16, 2010 CET | From | Libertarian Party of Darnussia | To | Debating the Christian Conservative Manifesto |
| Message | I know you two (Christian Conservative and Rerum Novarum) would like to be the leaders of a fascist nation, but the other parties simply will not allow it to happen. |
| Date | 19:50:30, May 16, 2010 CET | From | Libertarian Party of Darnussia | To | Debating the Christian Conservative Manifesto |
| Message | And if you don't that the majority of these proposals are fascist in nature, then you don't know the first thing about what means to be politically fascist, or politically anything for that matter. |
| Date | 19:57:09, May 16, 2010 CET | From | Libertarian Party of Darnussia | To | Debating the Christian Conservative Manifesto |
| Message | Clearly, both of you are opposed to citizens having the right to freedom of speech. |
| Date | 20:27:19, May 16, 2010 CET | From | Rerum Novarum Party | To | Debating the Christian Conservative Manifesto |
| Message | Yes, I am against the right to freedom of speech, like I am against all rights, because rights is a twisted system that has resulted in numerous problems; the improper enactment of bills, disregard for respect, the invention of flawed rights and the creation of rights which were never rights at all (1.Abortion, Euthanasia, etc. 2. Freedom of Speech v. Hate Speech. 3. The Right to a Job. 4. The Right to Marriage.) |
| Date | 01:10:01, May 17, 2010 CET | From | Christian Conservative Party | To | Debating the Christian Conservative Manifesto |
| Message | Disgusting? Hardly. Set beside your manifesto, Communist Party, mine is much more liberating. Yours takes away far more rights than mine possibly could. As for the Libertarians, how exactly is this destroying freedom of speech? As for the fascism, I am quite libertarian with regards to many things. Note the lack of changes to the tax system and the economic policies currently in place. If you look at our previous voting tendencies, many of our party's decisions have been in favour of libertarian ideals. |
| Date | 18:12:00, May 17, 2010 CET | From | Narik Nationalestik Parti | To | Debating the Christian Conservative Manifesto |
| Message | But yet, you remain Christian and Conservative. Not good for human rights and freedoms. |
| Date | 02:37:42, May 23, 2010 CET | From | Libertarian Party of Darnussia | To | Debating the Christian Conservative Manifesto |
| Message | "Yes, I am against the right to freedom of speech, like I am against all rights, because rights is a twisted system that has resulted in numerous problems; the improper enactment of bills, disregard for respect, the invention of flawed rights and the creation of rights which were never rights at all (1.Abortion, Euthanasia, etc. 2. Freedom of Speech v. Hate Speech. 3. The Right to a Job. 4. The Right to Marriage.)" I do not attempt to grant any rights to people other then the ones they already have. Throughout the entirety of human history, man has had his life and his posessions, and those who attempt to take these things from him should not expect to be treated with anything less than self-defense. I do wish however, that we can create a government where pure anarchy is not necessary; where the sole purpose of the institution of government is protect and preserve those freedoms. That is what libertarianism is all about, its not necessarily that I want to grant the right to the freedom of speech. It is more I don't believe the government has any business censoring speech or expression, or other individuals. People have always been allowed to speak, anyone who wishes to use force against someone for simply saying or expressing things should not expect to met with anything less than self-defense. |
