| Colleagues, Several years ago we informed this honourable legislative body about the dangers and evils of pornography.

We urge all parties who support traditional morality or family values to support this bill. Thank you. |

| Date | 19:09:26, November 23, 2005 CET | From | Democratic Socialist Party of Rildanor | To | Debating the Media Decency Act of 2144 |

| Date | 21:44:15, November 23, 2005 CET | From |  Front Canrillaise | To | Debating the Media Decency Act of 2144 |
| Message | Against. Besides, Article 3 contradicts Article 2 in that this bill will allow sexually explicity content or nudity to be shown late at night but how would that be possible if Article 2 bans nudity altogether on television. |

| Message | If you notice, article 3 has the provision "if allowed" so no, it is not a contradiction. |
