| Message | *waves Hobrazian burning flag* Everyone should have his freedom to protest... this makes no sense. Why persecuting someone for disliking our national flag? |
| Date | 21:51:56, December 07, 2005 CET | From | Hobrazian Peoples Party | To | Debating the Our flag is sacred |
| Message | We don't believe that any good comes from burning flags. It is not only a statement of pro nonparliamentarism but also, and more important, a revolutionary symbolic action that represent nothing of which the state of Hobrazia stands for. Demonstrating and protests is legal, but must be done in a proper manner, without desecration of a national symbol. |

| Message | Even assuming that revolutionary symbolic actions are not good. Will people become more happy and loyal to the nation if you forbid them to desecrate the flag? Or will they think instead our nation as a totalitarian state? |

| Message | How would the capitalizt party make sense in melting coins and burning stock papers. Just as a symbolic action. If people wish to desecrate our flag and thereby the values of the nation, they should find another state to do it in. I've already said that serious and meaningful demonstrations have a better effect than rebbelious behaviour. |

| Message | Agreed with CP. "How would the capitalizt party make sense in melting coins and burning stock papers." They'd probably laugh at the jackass who was burning his own wealth. |
| Date | 22:53:18, December 07, 2005 CET | From | Hobrazian Peoples Party | To | Debating the Our flag is sacred |
| Message | How about burning crosses then? |
| Date | 23:07:56, December 08, 2005 CET | From | Capitalizt Party | To | Debating the Our flag is sacred |
| Message | They are free to do so. Should CSP burn 'em as the Inquisition burned heretics centuries ago? |
| Date | 17:15:18, December 12, 2005 CET | From | Deltarian Nationalist Party | To | Debating the Our flag is sacred |
| Message | Burning inquisition suspects is a stereotype, rarely did inquisition suspects come to trial. |
