| Date | 03:41:10, February 26, 2013 CET | From | Independent Citizens' Party | To | Debating the Reasonable and Peaceful Act |
| Message | Giving someone the death penalty can be bit immoderate and/or extreme such as violence. In other words, I might disturb the peacefulness. |
| Date | 03:46:06, February 26, 2013 CET | From | Independent Citizens' Party | To | Debating the Reasonable and Peaceful Act |
| Message | And besides, criminals can be forgiven unless they pay up all of their crimes that they committed by peaceful means. |
| Date | 03:54:25, February 26, 2013 CET | From | Independent Citizens' Party | To | Debating the Reasonable and Peaceful Act |
| Message | Also, I got a question to the people's representative party. Why would you want to compromise for moderate pollution standards? |
| Date | 00:23:55, February 27, 2013 CET | From | People's Representative Party | To | Debating the Reasonable and Peaceful Act |
| Message | For the first question:Rarely do criminals get enough money to be forgiven. We also consider torturing someone for the rest of their life extreme. I don't see how this would disturb the peace. For the second question:We can't just ignore pollution. It would be a crime of neglecting the citizens. If you need my further opinion,I replied to your private message. |
