| Message | Spealer, Expressing a negative opinion, especially based in truth, should not lead to punishment! I yield. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, Social stratification and hierarchy are the basic values on which Luthori is built. The aristocracy's right to duel cannot be taken away, the Imperial Court of Justice shall make sure of it we believe. I yield. |

| Message | Speaker, Then those false values must collapse in favor of new ones. I yield. |

| Message | Speaker, We are also speaking of the nonsense that states one can be sued for expressing negative feelings towards oppression. I yield |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We will not support the repeal of this bill. Any action which results in the culling without reprieve of the aristocratic elite is an action worth taking. I yield. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, We are glad and surprised that the FRP endorses our view. Indeed, the CIL believes that duels are a way for the nobility to practice natural selection and therefore to purge those of its members that are not worthy of belonging to the aristocracy, even though that was not the preeminent reason for the passing of the Honor Act. I yield. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, While we supported this law when it was first pass we now fill it necassary to repeal said law. The LPP believes in the right to freedom speech even if that speech maybe negative. We support the USC in this rare case. I yield |

| Message | Speaker, We welcome the collaboration of all, regardless of disagreement on other issues, and are glad to see common sense and reason win out in this case. I yield. |
