| Message | "Mr/Madam Chairman, Lets be clear who the supplier of corruption is: it is the corporations, and their puppet politicians, many of whom seem to work with APS. Are 5 year olds to be considered adults now? Should a 10 year old be able to drive an automobile, or own a firearms? Common-bloody-sense would say not! Mr. Chairman, I have hear many stupid things in my years in this chamber, but none as absurd as this. A good friend once told me that the APS would get progressively more extreme, and I didn't believe them. Now I recognize my mistake, APS is nothing more than a corporatist, laissez-faire capitalist party. They serve themselves, and themselves only. Thank you Mr/Madam Chairman, I yield back."

| Message | "Mr/Madam Chairman I seek unanimous consent to directly address the "gentleman" of APS, Mr. Bing I didn't say a goddamn thing about Government support of corporations. I said you are a supporter of laissez-faire capitalism, the ability of corporations to rule over the people, to destroy our environment and to control the future. Stop with the non-sequitors and own up to it: you support the right of corporations to rule the people with their iron fists." Senator Bernard Sanderson DSP, Orame |
| Date | 01:55:17, May 01, 2015 CET | From | Free Democratic Party | To | Debating the Anarchism Act of 3839 |
| Message | Mr Sanderson, I find your accusation hypocritical due to your alliance with the corporate minded TRP and DEMS. Donald Bing |
| Date | 04:29:01, May 01, 2015 CET | From | Democratic Socialist Party | To | Debating the Anarchism Act of 3839 |
| Message | "Mr. Bing, My party is allied with the TRP and DEMS because of mutual support for Democracy. We recognize that both parties are bordering capitalist, however at least the DEMS voted in favor of providing healthcare, a basic human right, to all citizens. You voted against that, and for every pro-capitalist vote the DEMS and TRP have cast, you have cast at least 3. You are the enemy of progress, the very ideology of anarchy is based in selfishness and rampant egotism. In your infinite selfishness you would allow for the environment to be destroyed, our air and oceans polluted, dangerous weapons in schools. You would allow people to starve if they couldn't afford food, you would allow a child with cancer to die because he can't afford treatment. Your trespasses against all human decency are beyond calculation. No one here supports anarchy but you and a handful of voters; note that even the tyrannical and racist SUN are more popular than you. Do your own ideology a favor and get the hell out of Government and go spray paint a subway train like actual anarchists actively do." Senator Bernard Sanderson DSP, Orame |

| Message | Because there's nothing more 'anarchist' than private defense companies. [Laughter] |
