| Message | "Mr. Senate Warden, It would appear that certain parties in the Federal Republic believe "Progress" in Solentia ought only to apply to the privileged, and not to those who seek to join in the Solentian future. Illegal aliens ought to be integrated into Solentian society. Furthermore, the same "progress" does not, in these parties' eyes, equal a step away from barbarism and torture which is the hallmark of a darker age. Despicable. The Solentian voters will note this commitment to violence. I yield." Jack Hawthorne, CPS Senatorial Lead |

| Message | Gregory Johnson's reply to Jack Hawthorne "Mr. Hawthorne, While I am fine with new citizens from other nations, we must not just let them. They are permitted if they pass a test. I believe that the policy is fine and should be enforced." "Torture is an effective way of obtaining vital information, and is only used in extreme circumstances; ensuring that it won't be abused. As for the death penalty, there are some crimes too evil to let the man behind the plot live. I don't see any reason why we should let a genocidal maniac live." |
