| Message | Are we to say to our children "do not be proud of our country? Do not honor her or respect and defend her?" |
| Date | 04:34:13, July 06, 2012 CET | From | New Democratic Party | To | Debating the Indoctrination Act, 3329 |
| Message | By all means, be proud of your country. But if you don't want to be, we won't jam it down your throat. |
| Date | 04:40:49, July 06, 2012 CET | From | Zardio Federisma Partio | To | Debating the Indoctrination Act, 3329 |
| Message | What happened to respect? What happened to teaching children to be respectful of where they are and who they are? |

| Message | Their country is not who they are. It is merely a part of their identity, which, like any other part of their identity, they do not have to respect if they do not wish to. In any case, it's not like you choose what country you are born in, so you do not have an obligation to love it. Just follow the laws and don't really hate us, and that's all we can reasonably expect of you. |

| Message | The hell it is. This is their country. They are our future and if they do not see pride in our country then what hope is their for Zardugal? They must understand who they are and who we are! |

| Message | I'm sure that most kids will like their country. But it is indoctrination to force the small minority that don't do so. |

| Message | What was wrong with the old value? No one had to sing it but they had to show respect! Singin is a choice but when the national anthem is played, when any national anthem of any country is playing one shows that country respect. |
