| Message | This bill proposes common-sense reform of many of our nations odder laws. Right now, anyone can come to our country and become a citizen. We like immigrants but want to at least impose a simple test. Second, we notice that our decency laws are strange. People in Keymon take morality very seriously. Our laws should at least take a common-sense approach to decency. Yes to sexually-explicit television; no to it being on right after Sesame Street. We also notice that there is no law against people having sex in public. It should be illegal, but egulation of nudity should be up to each community. If a community wants to legalize it, they can. If they want to ban it, they can. KRL hopes that every party can get behind these common-sense reforms. Thank you. |

| Message | It needs split up. |

| Message | NF - we're open to suggestion. What do you think of removing the first proposal and renaming the bill? |
| Date | 16:08:28, January 29, 2006 CET | From | Red Star Movement | To | Debating the Public Decency Reform Act |
| Message | We agree with the NF, shock horror, it needs split up. We say no to 1-3, but yes to 4. |
| Date | 22:04:46, January 29, 2006 CET | From | Red Star Movement | To | Debating the Public Decency Reform Act |
| Message | I'm saying no. However, if this doesn't pass, you can (or I would be willing) to propose article 3 on its own, then you would have the support of the Red Star Movement. |

| Message | Still needs split up. |
| Date | 17:07:05, January 30, 2006 CET | From | Christian Democrats | To | Debating the Public Decency Reform Act |
| Message | How should it be split up? All of these proposals are linked. Public nudity, sex in public, sex on television when children are watching. The three proposals make sense as a package. Pass one and not another and we're left with an inconsistent bill. So what do you two propose? |
