| Message | It just isn't cool. It's not nearly as cool as "God and my right", or "Out Of Many, One". Besides, it doesn't have that essential totaltarian ring to it. It seems just weak and silly. Choosing a national anthem should be everyone's little chance to let their dictatoral side flow free. |
| Date | 16:37:19, March 05, 2006 CET | From | New Theta | To | Debating the New National Motto |
| Message | Why should it have any totalitarian ring to it? We are a free people, a proud people, and a proud new nation. We believe this motto sums up the true spirit of Dranland and the creative spirit of its people. |

| Message | Because then it'd sound awesome. Also, it should be in latin. Everything sounds cooler in latin. Senatores Polulateque Romanae, for instance |
| Date | 22:58:10, March 05, 2006 CET | From | Dranland Pro-Life Party | To | Debating the New National Motto |
| Message | The beauty part discriminates against the less facially pleasing of Dranland. |
| Date | 22:58:32, March 05, 2006 CET | From | New Theta | To | Debating the New National Motto |
| Message | Bottom line, we need something. If we could just get some of these through it would be a major step for Dranland. We have nothing! No motto, no flag! At least get something through which we can then reevaluate later. |

| Message | There is beauty in all things, HMP. |
| Date | 23:55:29, March 05, 2006 CET | From | Dranland Progressive Conservatives | To | Debating the New National Motto |
| Message | The motto just doesn't have that cool ring to it. Probably because it's in English. Nothing sounds cool in English. |
| Date | 14:43:24, March 07, 2006 CET | From | New Theta | To | Debating the New National Motto |
| Message | Is it possible for us to agree on anything???? Let's just vote something through and then reevaluate later. This is getting silly. We are a laughing stock. |
