| Message | I should try and explain what on earth we are doing, shouldn't we? All of the Articles that I am bringing up are laws that are too vague or impractical to rationally work in a government. |

| Message | Articles 4 & 8 are irresponsible and cannot be allowed to pass. |

| Message | Sir, have you gone nuts with me? Article 4 simply lessens the possibility of corruption, and you proposed article 8 yourself once. |

| Message | I am willing to change the weponeds sail, but let me see if you understand me when it comes to cloning. This is an entirely new industry, one completely untapped for most people, that if perfected could have huge potencial. If the government could fund these projects, I would have us fund them. And really, what are they going to do? Make deformed half creatures? What kind of sci-fi show have you people been watching?! Why would anyone do such a thing. |

| Message | A business is out to make money, not to scare the costumers. |
| Date | 00:20:02, March 14, 2012 CET | From | Logical People of Aloria | To | Debating the Total Beurocratic Reform |
| Message | I am not moving or budging on article 5. Companies still make money, but they cannot control individual provinces like puppet kingdoms, deforesting at their pleasure. |
| Date | 00:22:32, March 14, 2012 CET | From | Logical People of Aloria | To | Debating the Total Beurocratic Reform |
| Message | This is as much as I am willing to do in one bill. I will let us debate this until the next election. After which, I am moving this bill forward. |
| Date | 00:33:44, March 14, 2012 CET | From | People's freedoms Party | To | Debating the Total Beurocratic Reform |
| Message | I cannot support cloning simply because we aren't God. The government must be very careful that companies aren't creating clones to satisfy grief stricken costumers with a copy of their loved one. This is a very sensitive issue and shouldn't be thrown to the wolves quite yet. On polygamy. While I an an activist for people's rights polygamous marriages are wholly infective at raising children not to mention the fact that they often result in trauma and sexual abuse. |
| Date | 02:04:42, March 14, 2012 CET | From | Logical People of Aloria | To | Debating the Total Beurocratic Reform |
| Message | Forget polygamy. This is irrelevant, i will change back the rule. But let me see if I can show you just why I support cloning. We are not god. This is a fact of existence. We also don't have wings. We were not evolved, created, or made with them. And yet with our minds, we now rule the skies. We cannot breath underwater. Another fact of reality broken by our intelligence, as we can now traverse huge seas, and can touch the bottom of our seas. We cannot will ourselves to not be pregnant, and yet we can now stop pregnancy with relative ease. We can become pregnant without intercourse. We cannot live without air. We now work in space, and use it in everyday use to live our lives. Someday, we will become a part of the rest of the galaxy. We cannot breed without a man and a woman. But as we speak, we now can have intercourse with fellow genders, and still have children though donation and technology. Now you say that we cannot create life from nothing, and control what we are. Think if you will what you are saying, and about how many times this idea has been broken time and time again. Think again if we should stop something if we cannot do it at first breath. Then tell me, with a strait face, that the idea of ascending to a new level of humanity yet again is wrong morally. |
