| Message | Mr. Speaker, Perhaps if the Green Socialist Party took into account the broader social impact of legalising recreational drugs, they would reconsider the wisdom of such a policy. Drug addiction is a very, very difficult habit to break, and is notorious for destroying people's careers, friendships, marriages, relationships and families. There is nothing good to be said about drug addiction. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Religion is a very, very difficult habit to break and is notorious for destroying people's careers, friendships, marriages, relationships and families. There is nothing good to be said about religion. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, It is through the Christian faith that our souls are saved through Christ. Many, many people have had their lives turned around through developing their faith in God. To compare our faith to drug abuse is wholly inaccurate, as well as insulting to a great number of ordinary Dorvinians. |
| Date | 18:30:37, November 17, 2010 CET | From | Dorvikische Volkspartei | To | Debating the Recreational Drugs Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, If the Christian faith is so intrusive and restrictive in regard to people's lives, it is on par with drug abuse. |
| Date | 19:47:31, November 17, 2010 CET | From | . | To | Debating the Recreational Drugs Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, We are not surprised that the philosophy of Green Socialism drives its proponents to such despair that many of them take refuge in drugs binges. |
