| Message | "Mr. Senate Warden, The AGS opens this bill for some time for debate. We hope that splitting the previous bill we can garner more support." |
| Date | 02:25:32, November 09, 2012 CET | From | Solentia Democratic Party | To | Debating the Moral Society Act - Part 1 3392 |
| Message | This is ridiculous. This strips our citizens of rights they've worked so hard for. The SDP can in no way support this bill. |
| Date | 14:47:39, November 09, 2012 CET | From | Grand Liberal Party | To | Debating the Moral Society Act - Part 1 3392 |
| Message | Senators, This proposal would see Solentia become one of the most oppressed and repressive nations in terra and no right thinking person could possibly support it. I urge the POP and ULP to maintain the historic honourable Solentian political tradition of moderate conservatism, and not follow the mindless radical fanatical ideology of the AGS.
