| Message | Articles 1 and 3 are ludicrous. One could even say their encouragement of government incursion into personal lives is treasonous. Article 2 is simply superb, and earns our unequivocal support. |
| Date | 00:09:19, November 24, 2011 CET | From | Social Anarchy Party | To | Debating the The Progressive Bill of June 3217 |
| Message | The nationalization of the Energy companies protects the people from treacherous companies that only seek profit. The third article gives the younger generations a higher chance of having a job opening thus lets old people relax and have more time for themselves. |

| Message | Profit is glorious! It is, truly, the purest and grandest force in the universe. It is the position of our corporation that old people ought to be placed in positions which are less physically demanding, but certainly shouldn't be allowed to relax. We would encourage splitting the bill so that we may show our support for Article 2. |

| Message | Profit is not glorious but filthy, people should realize that there is more to life than profit. As the old saying says "Money doesn't buy happiness". |
