| Message | Yes. However, No. One is perhaps beginning to infringe on personal freedom rights. This is religion we're talking about here. Not evil corporations. |
| Date | 02:05:05, September 06, 2010 CET | From | Christian Conservative Party | To | Debating the Reform of Religious Policy Bill of 2995 |
| Message | Disgusting. |
| Date | 22:54:05, September 06, 2010 CET | From | Rerum Novarum Party | To | Debating the Reform of Religious Policy Bill of 2995 |
