And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me, speaking words of wisdom, let it be. Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be. Whisper words of wisdom, let it be. And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be. For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see, there will be an answer. let it be. Let it be, let it be, .....

| Date | 12:30:25, November 19, 2005 CET | From | Modern Intellectual Party | To | Debating the National Pride Act |
| Message | Ok, I have several problems with this, first of all I think the age of an adult should be 18, not 16, secondly I am strongly against the compulsory carrying of ID cards |
| Date | 12:32:54, November 19, 2005 CET | From | Modern Intellectual Party | To | Debating the National Pride Act |
| Message | I understand you spent some time on this but I shall vote for things that I do not believe in |
| Date | 15:21:52, November 19, 2005 CET | From | Socialist Guild | To | Debating the National Pride Act |
| Message | The ID cards section rules this out I'm afraid. This shall not be a police state |
| Date | 16:17:46, November 19, 2005 CET | From | Left-Labor Party | To | Debating the National Pride Act |
| Message | May I ask, How does the carrying of ID cards make it a police state? Also, the citizens of this country prefer a "big government" state. This will help improve people's political awareness of your preference of a Big Government country. In essence, my proposals are no where near as restrictive as The socialist Guilds economic policies. I Just ask for this Bill to be passed, and If you want me to repeal the ID card amendment after than I will. Also, If my timing is correct, this will be sent back to debate because of the early elections before this reaches its deadline. If that happens I shall change the ID policy to "you have one but are not required to carry it around". |

| Message | The New Democrats concur with the Socialist Guild on this one for the same reasons. |

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
