| Message | While I agree that flashing should be illegal, there are some forms of sexually implicit actions that we shouldn't ban. |

| Message | What could possibly be "sexually implicit" but not indecent? |
| Date | 18:46:47, January 30, 2006 CET | From | Shuggoth Progressive Party | To | Debating the Public Morality (Amendment) Bill |
| Message | Some of our citizens do not view sex as indecent. So no "sexually implicit" act would be indecent to them. |

| Message | passionate kissing would be sexually implicit and the option he's proposing is the most restrictive one. |
| Date | 09:20:57, January 31, 2006 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Public Morality (Amendment) Bill |
| Message | Oh what a short memory you have. The most restrictive options are 'All public displays of affection are illegal' and 'All public displays of affection are illegal, except brief greeting exchanges between close relatives', which until recently was the case in this Holy Empire. Couples sticking their tongues down each others' throats wouldn't be appropriate IN PUBLIC, would it? In solitude or the company of other couples in a public place, fine, but not actually in public. |

| Message | And who complain too much about what offends them. |
| Date | 09:56:04, January 31, 2006 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Public Morality (Amendment) Bill |
| Message | We could include a definition of 'sexually implicit actions' in the bill wording. Any suggestions? |
