| Date | 07:18:58, July 23, 2010 CET | From | Mountain Man Party | To | Debating the Addressing Population |
| Message | We're concerned that if our pro-obscenity law passes, that the population may go up faster than we can manage. |
| Date | 12:30:09, July 23, 2010 CET | From | Anarcho-Primitivist Concern | To | Debating the Addressing Population |
| Message | I don't think people are so keen to have sex in public that it will majorly affect the birth rate. |
| Date | 13:28:31, July 23, 2010 CET | From | SCI Libertarian-Socialist Syndicate (LL) | To | Debating the Addressing Population |
| Message | We are torn. We support moving away from encouraging population growth, but we do not want our constituents to see that the government is not managing some aspect of society. We shall probably vote no, but this does not mean we actually support population growth. |

| Message | The autocratic-fascistic style of the SCI worries us about them, and the amount of people who actually support them. As for the bill, we will support, we're reaching 700million fast, and eventually we will run out of space to create homes, jobs etc. for all the people. |

| Message | Also, if the MMP truly worries about the population sky-rocketing faster than we can manage, then shouldn't they vote against their own bill, about no immigration quotas? |

| Message | We abhor the language used by the DT, and would like to remind them that they can still have sex, it's just they won't receive any help or support if they deliberately conceive a dozen babies. |
