| Message | Complete abolition of the death penalty will not pass (we're not even sure this measure will pass). |
| Date | 19:05:53, January 27, 2006 CET | From | Agrarian Party of Mordusia | To | Debating the The Death Penalty Act of 2176 |
| Message | It will pass completely, or it will not pass. The MDP is a member of the HRM of Particracy, and so we cannot be seen agreeing on leaving capital sentence for 'high-ranked' criminals. |

| Message | Such a funny wording. Aren't all crimes punished by the death penalty capital crimes by definition? |

| Date | 15:20:09, January 28, 2006 CET | From | The Mordusian Green Party | To | Debating the The Death Penalty Act of 2176 |
| Message | No. We only punish capital crimes - murder, serial rape, treason - with the death penalty. |
| Date | 20:18:51, January 29, 2006 CET | From | Unio Liberál daď Ordio Mordusián | To | Debating the The Death Penalty Act of 2176 |
| Message | We think that death penalty should stay as a punishment for really violent murders. Against. |

| Message | FPM: That's exactly what this measure would do. It would limit the death penalty to cases that are the most extreme. It would lay off on lesser cases. |

| Message | "The death penalty is not applied, except for terrorism, treason and crimes against mankind.' There isn't anything about death penalty for "violent murder". I also find capital punishment for treason problematic. In extreme situations it could be useful weapon to make political opponents quiet (once for all). |

| Message | Is there such a thing as a non-violent murder? |
| Date | 01:33:19, January 30, 2006 CET | From | Unio Liberál daď Ordio Mordusián | To | Debating the The Death Penalty Act of 2176 |
| Message | Yeah hehe... I wasn't accurate there . I meant "murders with peculiar violence" or something like that (I don't know exactly how is it in English). |
| Date | 09:41:13, January 30, 2006 CET | From | Agrarian Party of Mordusia | To | Debating the The Death Penalty Act of 2176 |
| Message | The MDP regrets it as to vote against this proposal. Everything or nothing, that's our opinion. But in due time, a legislation WILL abolish these cruel, physical and beasty manners of sorting things out. |
