| Message | Article 2: How can Consumers be responsible without the facts? What if they are allegic to something? Article 3: Recpie for E-coli and other such illnesses, there have been outbreaks in Wales recently, Food Standards are required to make sure that it is extremely rare to get ill from eating food, this will just make Darnussian food unsafe to eat, as would article 2 |

| Date | 00:24:41, December 14, 2005 CET | From | Social Democratic Party | To | Debating the Consumer Responsibility |
| Message | Yeah consumers can be very responsible but the possibility of a company taking advantage in a world this technologically advanced is very high. |
| Date | 03:36:20, December 14, 2005 CET | From | Darnussian Strength Initiative | To | Debating the Consumer Responsibility |
| Message | Technological advance is a huge plus for the consumer. Communication is biggest defense against exploitation. |
| Date | 05:28:45, December 14, 2005 CET | From | Darnussian Strength Initiative | To | Debating the Consumer Responsibility |
| Message | No one needs a science lab, they find the information for themselves or they demand that the producer puts the ingredients on the label. |
| Date | 22:12:55, December 14, 2005 CET | From | Progressive Democratic Alliance | To | Debating the Consumer Responsibility |
| Message | Well then the producer might not abide. By the time they find the information, they already bought the product. These are baseline standards present in any advanced or western society such as Canada or the United States of America. |
