| Message | Please post your suggestions for our national sport, animal and motto |
| Date | not recorded | From | To | Debating the Cultural Identity Act |
| Message | The C.F.P. believes that the national sport should be swimming because it is the most complex sport that uses more of the human muscles that any other sport, it can be done by man and women thus ensuring equality of saxes, also this sport will ensure that the youth of our nation will have fit and harmonious bodies furthermore this sport is all about clean fair competition and has nothing to do with violence thus it can be a good influence on the youth of our nation . As far as the national animal is concerned we the C.F.P. think it should be the Eagle because it is free in sky as our people should be on earth, also in the animal kingdom it is on the top of the food chain as out country should be on the top of the world and last but not least the eagle spends most of its time in the sky being closer to God as our people trying to be. Regarding the national motto , since the head of state, the parliament and regions have Latin names or are of Latin origin. We think the national motto should be in Latin also. We propose to the senate the following motto: ” Nihil sine Deo ” it means : ”Nothing without God”. We here at the C.F.P believe that this is the fundamental philosophy of out nation. I ask the Senate to consider this proposal and to keep an open mind. |

| Message | the motto we suggest is "Orta recens quam pura nites" which means "Newly risen, how brightly you shine". the animal we suggest is the cat as it can be as evil as it wants but is still loved by everyone. swimming we like |

| Message | I don't agree with the proposed national motto, it would be offensive for atheists. We need to have something about freedom and equality for our motto. |

| Message | For animal I suggest the owl. It inspires ideas of seeking wisdom. |
| Date | not recorded | From | Alderdath Lebrali Demkratti | To | Debating the Cultural Identity Act |
| Message | i would like all mention of god and religion to be omitted from the motto |
| Date | not recorded | From | Alderdath Lebrali Demkratti | To | Debating the Cultural Identity Act |
| Message | how about "United in diversity" or "Unie dans la diversité" |
| Date | not recorded | From | Union of Work-Shy Elements | To | Debating the Cultural Identity Act |
| Message | I like "Orta recens quam pura nites" very much. But as an alternative how about "Si hoc legere scis numium eruditionis habes" which means "If you can read this, you're overeducated". I don't really mind which animal we choose however i don't really care for swimming as our sport. How about something like archery because it's technical and precise. |

| Message | @Liberal Democrats: To be fair on 2/3rds of this bill I have yielded, inded both of those were your suggestions so it seems slightly unfair to want it all your way. The whole point of the dabate time is about compromising surely. However it's up to you. |
