| Message | Mr Speaker We can suport articel 1, but not articel 2. |
| Date | 18:21:45, September 29, 2010 CET | From | Dorvikische Volkspartei | To | Debating the Right to Serve Bill |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, As a fair party, we find it somewhat bizarre that there are parties in Dorvik that do not see equal rights as essential. |
| Date | 20:37:42, September 29, 2010 CET | From | Hosian-Konservative Allianz | To | Debating the Right to Serve Bill |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, While equal rights are essential in Dorvik, many displays of sexual harassment have driven the military in sponsoring bills where women and men are segregated, it's merely for the safety of the women and men within Dorvik's military. |
| Date | 20:43:42, September 29, 2010 CET | From | Dorvikische Volkspartei | To | Debating the Right to Serve Bill |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, Surely the best alternative to solving the problem would be by punishing those who feel its right to treat women as second class citizens in the military? |
| Date | 20:54:19, September 29, 2010 CET | From | Hosian-Konservative Allianz | To | Debating the Right to Serve Bill |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, That has been tried in previous administrations and it hasn't worked as well, if the overall government wants to try it once again, then perhaps we shall. |
