| Message | Opposed, the government subsidizing one station is more than enough, we do not need the state to tell people what to think. Besides that, we still have the publically programmed Vox Pop Media. The government does not need to be nanny either. |

| Message | Once you get some seats LLC...You and I are going to have some fun with this stuff. Morality will return to Lodamun. |
| Date | 20:56:16, November 13, 2005 CET | From | Juche Front (The Resistance) | To | Debating the Lodamun Communist Manifesto III |
| Message | To smash the imperialists, an iron fist will be needed. Sex is an opiate to distract the people from the cause of revolutionary liberation. |
| Date | 21:08:20, November 13, 2005 CET | From | Tuesday Is Coming | To | Debating the Lodamun Communist Manifesto III |
| Message | Nudity and sexual television distract people from actual sex. Women are baby machines, and we must not allow them to escape their duty as such. |
| Date | 00:53:43, November 14, 2005 CET | From | MLTP (The Resistance) | To | Debating the Lodamun Communist Manifesto III |
| Message | The MLTP is strongly opposed. We are in support of state-owned media, but only given that there are specific provisions made to make sure that media is used to inform and entertain, and not as propaganda. As for the second two mesures, we are against archaic decency laws. Furthermore, the LCC's position on sex is reactionary and moralistic. If nothing else, sex makes people happy, and the goal of socialism is to create the greatest amount of happiness amonst the greatest number of people. |

| Message | Correction: The most equal amount of misery among everybody. |
| Date | 08:56:55, November 15, 2005 CET | From | Tuesday Is Coming | To | Debating the Lodamun Communist Manifesto III |
| Message | We must vote in favor of two and three. Besides, blatant propaganda has it's benefits. Thankfully, we will be able to control it as well. |
