| Message | I agree with the NFP on this one. We have to curb pollution. Otherwise, we will all have to use breath-masks when we walk outside. |

| Date | 20:27:38, May 15, 2005 CET | From | Social Calvinist Unionist Party | To | Debating the Government Spending Reform: Industrial Regulation |
| Message | This is more agreeable, yes. However, I would like to know what is regulated and what won't be. |

| Message | absolutely not. there's only one planet, and you can only fuck it up once before it's not there anymore. i intend to make that process as slow as possible. and who knows, this might even encourage businesses to develop means of doing things that don't involve making the water undrinkable and the air unbreathable. |

| Message | The NFP would be kindly asked to keep their tone civil.... ooc: LFTM I don't think there's any way that you can really know what it regulates and what it doesn't...but the way that its worded right now implies to me that it's very opressive |

| Message | We believe this is suitable for both companies and the environment. While companies now still have to follow guidelines, they can create more jobs, and while the environment will be slightly affected by this, it still won't be as bad as before. |
| Date | 13:06:53, May 16, 2005 CET | From | National Forwardist Party | To | Debating the Government Spending Reform: Industrial Regulation |
| Message | "it still won't be as bad as before." so why not make it not bad at all? |
| Date | 19:12:50, May 16, 2005 CET | From | Opinion Poll Vultures | To | Debating the Government Spending Reform: Industrial Regulation |
| Message | Economic prosperity outweighs what little environmental problems this might cause. We have absolute confidence in the quality of our nations purification facilities, this will not harm anyone. If it does, we volunteer the NFP to test it out for us first. |
