| Message | It seems morally unjust for people to commit terrorism, treason, and crimes against humanity. |
| Date | 14:00:05, January 14, 2018 CET | From | Peace and Prosperity Party | To | Debating the Just Punishment Act - March 4333 |
| Message | Surely, life imprisonment is a harsher sentence than execution? |
| Date | 14:59:50, January 14, 2018 CET | From | National Conservative Party | To | Debating the Just Punishment Act - March 4333 |
| Message | Yes, but why risk an escape where they can just continue their crimes. Sure this may not be common, but why risk it? |

| Message | We previously submitted a bill like this one and will support this bill in its current form. Prison escapes aren't common and life sentences are harsher than the death penalty, but regardless, the state has no right to murder its own citizens. It is simply morally and financially unjust. |
| Date | 20:30:07, January 14, 2018 CET | From | National Conservative Party | To | Debating the Just Punishment Act - March 4333 |
| Message | As I have stated, we agree that they aren't common, but why risk the safety of our people because the state refuses to execute criminals highly dangerous to society. |
| Date | 22:43:42, January 14, 2018 CET | From | Kalistan National Front | To | Debating the Just Punishment Act - March 4333 |
| Message | We will vote against. It isn’t proper justice to lock these monsters up and then release them after 20 odd years after a slap on the wrist. |
| Date | 01:09:08, January 15, 2018 CET | From | Kalistani Union of Democratic Socialists | To | Debating the Just Punishment Act - March 4333 |
| Message | How is 20 years of incarceration a slap on the wrist? That's almost half of an entire life completely thrown away. That's payment enough |
| Date | 01:09:32, January 15, 2018 CET | From | Kalistani Union of Democratic Socialists | To | Debating the Just Punishment Act - March 4333 |
| Message | Also, I doubt many terrorists are getting paroled and released in the first place |
| Date | 16:09:21, January 16, 2018 CET | From | National Conservative Party | To | Debating the Just Punishment Act - March 4333 |
| Message | If this is voted into law, will it be ensured that criminals responsible of these three crimes receive life imprisonment in a maximum security prison with no possibility of parole? |
| Date | 18:25:55, January 16, 2018 CET | From | Kalistan National Front | To | Debating the Just Punishment Act - March 4333 |
| Message | It doesn’t matter if they are kept in for life, it would ensure terrorists could radicalise fellow inmates and make it appear as if they are the good guys. |
| Date | 18:29:13, January 16, 2018 CET | From | Kalistan National Front | To | Debating the Just Punishment Act - March 4333 |
| Message | Also 20 years inside will only make evil more strong and the need for revenge needing to be fed. Don’t support this bill it will ALLOW KILLERS ONTO THE STREETS, with YOUR CHILDREN, YOUR FRIENDS. If this is passed you are putting EVERYONE YOU LOVE AND CARE ABOUT in RISK. |
