| Date | 00:39:42, February 04, 2006 CET | From | The Mordusian Green Party | To | Debating the The Euthanasia Elimination Act of 2180 |
| Message | That makes sense if you add up the percentages of voters who agree with euthanasia, but a plurality of people agree with this proposal. We cannot please all the people all of the time, but we believe that voting in favor of this proposal would constitute doing the will of the people, which is clear. |
| Date | 10:29:25, February 04, 2006 CET | From | National Thomasian Party | To | Debating the The Euthanasia Elimination Act of 2180 |
| Message | a plurality is not a majority. We must look at the view of most people and reach the best compromise. |

| Date | 01:01:59, February 05, 2006 CET | From | The Mordusian Green Party | To | Debating the The Euthanasia Elimination Act of 2180 |
| Message | If we always made laws based on what the majority wanted, THAT would be tyranny by the majority. |
| Date | 01:30:16, February 05, 2006 CET | From | Agrarian Party of Mordusia | To | Debating the The Euthanasia Elimination Act of 2180 |
| Message | Why do you disagree with the fundamental right of a person to not let him/herself suffer from great pain and agony? Suicide is the most fundamental right (because you cannot take it from a person, remember Hermann Goering?), so euthanasia is the most legal fundamental right. Of course the doctor must agree, but it is up to the person to decide, not the f*n government. |

| Message | We will let the fact that the Lombasianists have cited Goering in their rejecting of this proposal speak for itself. |
| Date | 03:00:22, February 05, 2006 CET | From | Agrarian Party of Mordusia | To | Debating the The Euthanasia Elimination Act of 2180 |
| Message | We have not cited Goering at all. Goering took a suicide pill instead of being hanged. That's quite a historical fact. Ioannes Lombas official statement: "BADANASIA IS NOT COOL" lol |
