| Message | We are opposed to all Articles. |
| Date | 23:35:46, April 10, 2016 CET | From | Demokratischen Sozialismus Partei | To | Debating the Legislation |
| Message | Perhaps we can make a counteroffer. Article number 4 prevents our citizens from getting sick. Article 1. as we already have charter-schools which are made to meet standards, the same should apply to private schools. Article 3 is just down right immoral and goes against animal rights. Article 6 goes with article 4 so our citizens know what they are eating. |

| Date | 02:46:08, April 11, 2016 CET | From | Demokratischen Sozialismus Partei | To | Debating the Legislation |

| Date | 02:46:37, April 11, 2016 CET | From | Demokratischen Sozialismus Partei | To | Debating the Legislation |
| Message | 3 can do away with, but all the rest make sense |

| Message | It is time to move on. We are 1 out of 3 countries to not allow the stock market. |

| Message | What needs to go and what needs to stay? |
| Date | 03:24:42, April 12, 2016 CET | From | Sozialistische Einheitspartei Dundorfs | To | Debating the Legislation |
| Message | Agreed. |
| Date | 04:31:48, April 12, 2016 CET | From | Partei für Fortschritt u. Gerechtigkeit | To | Debating the Legislation |
| Message | We are strictly opposed to Articles 1 and 3. |
| Date | 04:32:46, April 12, 2016 CET | From | Demokratischen Sozialismus Partei | To | Debating the Legislation |
| Message | If you approve of 2, you have to approve of 3. |
| Date | 04:35:39, April 12, 2016 CET | From | Demokratischen Sozialismus Partei | To | Debating the Legislation |
| Message | This would determine if people wanted to buy the product or not, and also, the government regulates rule number 2 so rule number 3 would be enforced. |
| Date | 04:38:38, April 12, 2016 CET | From | Partei für Fortschritt u. Gerechtigkeit | To | Debating the Legislation |
| Message | Article 2 concerns chemicals as does the current law you want to change with Article 3. So there is really no reason why 2 should imply 3. Besides we prefer the current law concerning pesticides. |
| Date | 04:51:20, April 12, 2016 CET | From | Demokratischen Sozialismus Partei | To | Debating the Legislation |
| Message | Some people may not want it on their products, so we don't want to require them to use them. |
| Date | 05:29:17, April 12, 2016 CET | From | Partei für Fortschritt u. Gerechtigkeit | To | Debating the Legislation |
| Message | And some people don't want salad grown by a homosexual farmer, should we require labeling that too? As long as there is no prove whatsoever and no rational reason to assume that GM crops are in any way dangerous requiring to list them is arbitrary and unreasonable. Besides all our food is genetically modified. The difference here is that it is not done by trial and error but scientifically and that there are rigourous tests before their sale is permitted. Requiring the declaration of GM ingredients is just pandering to anti-scientific and anti-progressive ideologists and the backwards thinking sheep who follow them. |

| Message | Seems like you are the lone goat <3 |
| Date | 05:31:59, April 12, 2016 CET | From | Partei für Fortschritt u. Gerechtigkeit | To | Debating the Legislation |
| Message | That's fine by us. We would rather be right in the minority than wrong in the majority. |
| Date | 05:32:16, April 12, 2016 CET | From | Demokratischen Sozialismus Partei | To | Debating the Legislation |
| Message | IF you are environmentalist leaning, you would support the bill. |
| Date | 05:33:04, April 12, 2016 CET | From | Partei für Fortschritt u. Gerechtigkeit | To | Debating the Legislation |
| Message | There is no connection between the one and the other. |
| Date | 05:37:03, April 12, 2016 CET | From | Demokratischen Sozialismus Partei | To | Debating the Legislation |
| Message | yes it does. If you are for the environment, you wouldn't want all farmers to be able to spray their crops. |
| Date | 14:55:07, April 12, 2016 CET | From | Partei für Fortschritt u. Gerechtigkeit | To | Debating the Legislation |
| Message | OOC: I interpret the current pesticides law as being stricter than the proposed one. Ideally we would have regulation and declaration. You seem to take the proposed law to be stricter. If it is I agree on that Article. Not the others though. |
| Date | 14:57:07, April 12, 2016 CET | From | Demokratischen Sozialismus Partei | To | Debating the Legislation |
| Message | OOC. This is. |

| Date | 15:54:20, April 12, 2016 CET | From | Demokratischen Sozialismus Partei | To | Debating the Legislation |
| Message | That is fine. The bill is going to pass. |
