| Message | The SoG does not care much about cosmetics (as should be clear from another bill), so if the other parties agree that this is a necessary change, it will follow the majority. |
| Date | 15:50:15, May 11, 2005 CET | From | Pansexual Peace Party -- FNORD | To | Debating the Region Name Change |
| Message | We agree with the SoG position. Names are not really important. As the SoG has stated before, "A rose is a rose is a ...whatever". |

| Message | The TDPK agrees with such a change. |

| Message | "A rose is a rose is a ...whatever." OK. In that case, instead of region or state, how about we rename them: oscillating defenestrator |
| Date | 20:00:21, May 11, 2005 CET | From | To | Debating the Region Name Change |
| Message | The SoG can agree to state, or region, or province, or anything similar, but not to "oscillating defenestrator". We feel this would be an act of discrimination against people with lisps. |

| Message | The KNP supports this. |
