| Message | Polygamous marriage is a tough call, because in practice, most involve less than full, informed consent. However, so long as laws against forced relationships are upheld to their fullest extent, then we can support this bill. |
| Date | 02:35:02, July 13, 2017 CET | From | Republican Centrist Alliance | To | Debating the Civil Liberties Act 4240 |
| Message | This is SOOOO morally wrong and DISGUSTING!!!!! @realGeorgeSkanderberg |
| Date | 04:04:06, July 13, 2017 CET | From | Nationalist Party of Likatonia | To | Debating the Civil Liberties Act 4240 |
| Message | I'd like to thank George Skanderberg for his riveting debate and articulate insights on this issue. I also find it interesting that you're party description claims to hold some, personal freedom loving, libertarian views. Are those views ever actually expressed by your party? R.G.S. President of the People's Socialist Party of Likatonia |
| Date | 04:08:29, July 13, 2017 CET | From | Nationalist Party of Likatonia | To | Debating the Civil Liberties Act 4240 |
| Message | I apologize, I may have misread your party description and made a mistake in reference to 'libertarianism' , but it does seem to advocate for personal freedom, to some extent. |
| Date | 10:24:48, July 13, 2017 CET | From | Tea Party | To | Debating the Civil Liberties Act 4240 |
| Message | The TP see's no issue with article's 2 and 3, however there are concerns raised over National Security if perhaps a relevant document could still damage our great country would it still be released at the set time? |
| Date | 12:10:40, July 13, 2017 CET | From | Republican Centrist Alliance | To | Debating the Civil Liberties Act 4240 |
| Message | There is a difference between having some basic liberal beliefs, and being a pervert. |
| Date | 22:07:22, July 13, 2017 CET | From | Progressive Populist Party | To | Debating the Civil Liberties Act 4240 |
| Message | There is a difference between being a pervert, sir, and using the full force and power of the government to crack down on perverts. And in regards to the Tea Party's concerns, surely the set period would be long enough as to ensure national security- something in the realm of several decades. |
| Date | 03:25:12, July 14, 2017 CET | From | Nationalist Party of Likatonia | To | Debating the Civil Liberties Act 4240 |
| Message | This party agrees with the previous comment by the Social libertarian party of Likatonia, I. specially in regards to article 1 of this bill. We see no reason the government should have the potential power to keep records hidden indefinitely. Ronald G. Steele, PSPL President |
