| Message | I agree for once. If you don't like the flag you should appeal to your local politician and painter to create a new one :) And if you don't like the country you can leave :) |

| Message | VNA, many debates about the issues were already held a long time ago :) That's why ANL just simply states his current stance on these issues. |

| Message | That's probably true, but at least a sentence would help me out. I don't really expect these to pass, just throwing proposals out to let the voters know where I stand. |
| Date | 18:29:41, November 09, 2005 CET | From | Deadly Buzz Party | To | Debating the Valruzian Flag Act |
| Message | Nope. Thats about it, a simple no. Not really any need for a long winded "debate" when there is nothing to debate. I like the current. |
| Date | 20:29:14, November 09, 2005 CET | From | Libertarian Party of Valruzia | To | Debating the Valruzian Flag Act |
| Message | No, it's an abridgement of freedom of speech. Even if we disagree with those damn hippies, we can't take away their right to speak it. |
| Date | 21:35:32, November 09, 2005 CET | From | Alliance for Natural Law | To | Debating the Valruzian Flag Act |
| Message | We are contributing. We always let our stance be known. If you want a reason? This is a senseless violation of liberty and an obscene protection of idiots. If idiots want to waste money to wear "patriotic" underwear, we have no obligation to protect their money. OOC: While I'm a libertarian, I'm of late trying to make my party arrogant and elitist, hence the anti-idiot bit. |

| Message | Nope! I think the flag is just a piece of cloth that has attached significance. |
| Date | 03:59:56, November 11, 2005 CET | From | Social-Liberty Party | To | Debating the Valruzian Flag Act |
| Message | Never.... We will not waste time yelling at people for burning a colorful piece of cloth. |
