| Message | What are you trying? Submitting laws which make no sense. It is just fun from you and all new parties? I do not understand you. DP |
| Date | 09:57:03, June 21, 2011 CET | From | Thatcherite Alliance | To | Debating the No Carbon Tax |
| Message | No, its so that we can get our positions up and that we may be able to win seats and all that. Ever thought of that one, Einstein? |
| Date | 15:54:16, June 21, 2011 CET | From | Progressive Party | To | Debating the No Carbon Tax |
| Message | Make no sense in what terms? YOUR terms? Everything I have submitted I completely want to see changed. Regardless, The Progressive Party does not support this bill. |

| Message | Just because we don't follow your political agenda, doesn't mean we make no sense, it just means it's time for you to make a good argument for once. |
| Date | 08:24:25, June 22, 2011 CET | From | Thatcherite Alliance | To | Debating the No Carbon Tax |
| Message | Exactly, commies like you who call yourselves "Progressive" are all talk and so action. |

| Message | You seem to have missed the point of this legislation C-RAFP. This article isn't saying that industry is taxed, it is merely regulated so that it has to meet certain pollution benchmarks. |
| Date | 09:26:59, June 22, 2011 CET | From | Thatcherite Alliance | To | Debating the No Carbon Tax |
| Message | Who cares, all this talk of global warming/climate change is nonsense. Doesn't matter how much we pollute or don't pollute in the end it is all natural and has been so since time began. |
| Date | 09:36:32, June 22, 2011 CET | From | Democratic Party | To | Debating the No Carbon Tax |
| Message | Think about the people who must live near industrial areas and their health. DP |
| Date | 09:43:39, June 22, 2011 CET | From | Thatcherite Alliance | To | Debating the No Carbon Tax |
| Message | So what? Thats their fault for choosing to live in that area. If it is so bad for them, then why don't they move? |
| Date | 10:19:50, June 22, 2011 CET | From | Démocraties Libérales | To | Debating the No Carbon Tax |
| Message | Perhaps industry moved to them? |
| Date | 11:46:58, June 22, 2011 CET | From | Democratic Party | To | Debating the No Carbon Tax |
| Message | What came first? Industry and human settlements? Think rationally. Ordinary people have little or no effect on the location of industry. DP |
| Date | 12:49:00, June 22, 2011 CET | From | Deltarian Liberal Movement | To | Debating the No Carbon Tax |
| Message | Let the CUP say this once, and only once. This is most assuredly the independent nation of the Federal Republic of Deltaria. Not the Commonwealth of Australia. We are not trying to replicate that society, or advocate for a viewpoint therein - be creative, please. |
| Date | 13:11:54, June 22, 2011 CET | From | Thatcherite Alliance | To | Debating the No Carbon Tax |
| Message | If you hate pollution so bad, then you can all join us country bumpkins and help plant crops on the farm. How does that sound? A bit of good old fresh air. |

| Message | Well said CUP. |

| Random fact: When it comes to creating a Cultural Protocol in a Culturally Open nation, players are not necessarily required to provide a plausible backstory for how the nation's cultural background developed. However, the provision of a plausible backstory may be a factor in whether Moderation approves the Cultural Protocol if players in surrounding nations question its appropriateness for their region of the game map. |
| Random quote: "A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks." - Thomas Jefferson |
