| Message | Pontesi is a new nation that has fallen under the control of some rather horrid nationalist and authoritarian forces before, we should show our support for the current government by ratifiying a treaty and being the first to do so! Good relations with Pontesi! |
| Date | 15:13:27, January 05, 2006 CET | From | RSDP - Democratic Front | To | Debating the Ratification of the Pontesi Free Trade Agreement |
| Message | And this would not "limit the sovereignty of Parliament"? You sir, are a hypocrit bastard! |
| Date | 15:14:49, January 05, 2006 CET | From | RSDP - Democratic Front | To | Debating the Ratification of the Pontesi Free Trade Agreement |
| Message | And if your motives are indeed genuine, then why don't you propose the membership of the United Countries? Let us show our support for and dedication to international cooperation and international peace and security, and justice! Long live international peace and security, and justice! Let us not be the last to do so! |
| Date | 15:49:36, January 05, 2006 CET | From | Radical Freedom Party | To | Debating the Ratification of the Pontesi Free Trade Agreement |
| Message | Full support for this treaty, although we agree that membership of the United Countries would show our support for international cooperation even more. |
| Date | 15:58:45, January 05, 2006 CET | From | Liberal Imperialist Party | To | Debating the Ratification of the Pontesi Free Trade Agreement |
| Message | Against, sadly, due to the conditions of the treaty. If it would pass only if we voted for it, we would do so for the reasons that FP stated. "You sir, are a hypocrit bastard!" Shut up and stop flaming and spamming. |

| Date | 20:22:09, January 05, 2006 CET | From | Freedom Party | To | Debating the Ratification of the Pontesi Free Trade Agreement |
| Message | Membership of the United Countries is useless, Dundorf started that, Dundorf threatened to invade. It is ineffective, corrupt and rubbish. |
| Date | 20:29:22, January 05, 2006 CET | From | Libertarian Alcoholic Party II | To | Debating the Ratification of the Pontesi Free Trade Agreement |
| Message | No support for this bill which limits the lawmaking capabilities of parliament. The LAP, degenerates that they are, have a consistent policy on the international community. |
| Date | 21:43:14, January 05, 2006 CET | From | RSDP - Democratic Front | To | Debating the Ratification of the Pontesi Free Trade Agreement |
| Message | Dundorf has no control over it, the participating nations have! And they can sanction Dundorf with one single word. |
| Date | 21:44:02, January 05, 2006 CET | From | RSDP - Democratic Front | To | Debating the Ratification of the Pontesi Free Trade Agreement |
| Message | "Shut up and stop flaming and spamming." How can that possibly be an IC statement? Can you imagine a member of Parliament in the heat of debate saying "Shut up and stop FLAMING and SPAMMING"? I think not. ;-) |
| Date | 21:44:50, January 05, 2006 CET | From | RSDP - Democratic Front | To | Debating the Ratification of the Pontesi Free Trade Agreement |
| Message | Perhaps that's a reason why you might want to join the United Countries, to annoy Communist states at the international level. :-P |
| Date | 21:56:12, January 05, 2006 CET | From | Liberal Imperialist Party | To | Debating the Ratification of the Pontesi Free Trade Agreement |
| Message | "Dundorf has no control over it, the participating nations have! And they can sanction Dundorf with one single word." No it cant. It cant do anything without at least six months of pointless babbling. That is the whole problem. "How can that possibly be an IC statement? Can you imagine a member of Parliament in the heat of debate saying "Shut up and stop FLAMING and SPAMMING"? I think not. ;-)" Yes. |

| Date | 14:00:41, January 06, 2006 CET | From | Freedom Party | To | Debating the Ratification of the Pontesi Free Trade Agreement |
| Message | We should join so we can annoy commie states at the international level? Thats a reason? What happened to your peace and security bullshit? |
| Date | 16:03:10, January 06, 2006 CET | From | Liberal Imperialist Party | To | Debating the Ratification of the Pontesi Free Trade Agreement |
| Message | "OOC: No, you cannot, that is pretty obvious." WHy bother asking if there's only one answer you'll accept? |

| Message | If Prae's was OOC then so was this Ganny "And this would not "limit the sovereignty of Parliament"? You sir, are a hypocrit bastard!" |
| Date | 13:07:40, January 07, 2006 CET | From | RSDP - Democratic Front | To | Debating the Ratification of the Pontesi Free Trade Agreement |
| Message | OOC: No, that was an IC statement, as I can easily see someone in a RL legislature saying that during a debate. But "flaming and spamming" have no meaning in RL legislatures, hence that must have been OOC. |
| Date | 15:40:19, January 07, 2006 CET | From | Freedom Party | To | Debating the Ratification of the Pontesi Free Trade Agreement |
| Message | No doubt in my mind it was aimed at me and not my party |
| Date | 16:12:21, January 07, 2006 CET | From | Radical Freedom Party | To | Debating the Ratification of the Pontesi Free Trade Agreement |
| Message | The RFP requests that this House move beyond this sad display of petty bickering and bring this bill to vote. |

| Message | That would be... now |
| Date | 20:46:18, January 20, 2006 CET | From | Freedom Party | To | Debating the Ratification of the Pontesi Free Trade Agreement |
| Message | Sorry, forgot about this, will send to vote now "Dundorf has no control over it, the participating nations have! And they can sanction Dundorf with one single word." Seems you were wrong there, unsurprising, foreign affairs should be left to reasonable people, not socialists Hazza! |
| Date | 09:44:50, January 21, 2006 CET | From | RSDP - Democratic Front | To | Debating the Ratification of the Pontesi Free Trade Agreement |
| Message | Is that your argument? That socialist are not reasonable people so should have no place in government? Dear Sir, please stop with this nonsense before you'll make us consider proposing legislation to ban people with a IQ of less than 25 to enter Parliament. |
| Date | 11:32:37, January 21, 2006 CET | From | Liberal Imperialist Party | To | Debating the Ratification of the Pontesi Free Trade Agreement |
| Message | To be honest the further Socialists are from government the richer and freer we seem to be. |
| Date | 19:02:05, January 21, 2006 CET | From | RSDP - Democratic Front | To | Debating the Ratification of the Pontesi Free Trade Agreement |
| Message | Nonsense, you have not even the slightest bit of evidence for those false claims. The rich-poor divide has only become greater. |
| Date | 20:42:53, January 21, 2006 CET | From | Freedom Party | To | Debating the Ratification of the Pontesi Free Trade Agreement |
| Message | "The rich-poor divide has only become greater." You say there is no evidence for LIP's claims (thats what you meant anyway but more on this later) and yet you proclaim that the rich poor divide is greater with no evidence? The hypocrisy is astounding "you have not even the slightest bit of evidence for those false claims." Thats right, he has no evidence of false claims, he never made any false claims, he made an observation that was correct. If you were in power, tax would be higher, much higher, the state would be massive and a lot more things would be banned (including free speech). Thus, we would be richer and freer without you in power. |
