| Date | 03:31:58, November 13, 2005 CET | From | Social Calvinist Unionist Party | To | Debating the Death penalty |
| Message | No. We need it for traitors and genocidal maniacs. Not heretics, genocidal maniacs. GENOCIDAL MANIACS! Not "heretics". |
| Date | 03:40:38, November 13, 2005 CET | From | Luthori Green Party | To | Debating the Death penalty |
| Message | Maybe we should put a special loophole in our extradition treaty, to allow traitors and genocidal maniacs a "final holiday" to a place that sanctions death penalties. Once they are over the border, someone pulls the trigger. |
| Date | 04:24:15, November 13, 2005 CET | From | Redneck Party | To | Debating the Death penalty |
| Message | No. We ought to increase it's usage. |
| Date | 07:25:01, November 13, 2005 CET | From | Luthori Green Party | To | Debating the Death penalty |
| Message | The death penalty is not ethical or moral, we should ban it. |
| Date | 17:18:34, November 13, 2005 CET | From | Redneck Party | To | Debating the Death penalty |
| Message | You know nothing of being moral. |
| Date | 23:14:49, November 13, 2005 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Death penalty |
| Message | Only a traitor would propose this. SHOOT THE TRAITORS! |
| Date | 00:37:39, November 14, 2005 CET | From | United Conservative Party | To | Debating the Death penalty |
| Message | Traitors and heretics should be shot and burnt - respectively. LEC should be shot and burnt - retrospectively. |

| Message | It is good to know I'm loved by the Sejm. :0 |

| Message | It's like Congress; just with more shotguns! |
| Date | 03:00:57, November 14, 2005 CET | From | Luthori Green Party | To | Debating the Death penalty |
| Message | As someone who has no clue what congress is like, that sentence scares me. The American congress is this fanatic about Christianity? I'm glad I don't live in America. |

| Message | hey how come no one wants to shot me? What have I done wrong? |
| Date | 02:56:10, November 15, 2005 CET | From | Luthori Green Party | To | Debating the Death penalty |
| Message | Yeah, this is discrimination, not letting the SRP be shot and burned at the stake! |
| Date | 09:01:04, November 15, 2005 CET | From | United Conservative Party | To | Debating the Death penalty |
| Message | LEC: tut, tut! You require an adjective before the preposition in your last post (you went to a private school, right?). Also you placed the active verb after the subject in a direct question -- not de rigeur in polite society, I'm afraid. So: "Is American Congress (a proper noun requires the capital letter) this fanatical about Christianity?" That's my best guess at unravelling your grammatical drivel. The answer is: we hope so. |

| Message | On a debate on the death penalty, you wish to correct my grammar, although what I said was grammatically correct. |
| Date | 23:53:11, November 17, 2005 CET | From | United Conservative Party | To | Debating the Death penalty |
| Message | Um ... no, it was not grammatically correct. Let's put the argument around the other way: you want to debate the death penalty using sub-standard English? Pathetic. |
| Date | 00:10:30, November 18, 2005 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Death penalty |
| Message | If it was illegal to burn sodomists, shoot traitors and hang terrorists, the police and courts would waste much of their time, and taxpayers money, prosecuting decent citizens. Most improper! |
