| Message | The only aim of foreign aid must be to help the nations concerned and not to use it in order to exploit them in the interests of our own economy as this bill is attempting to do. |
| Date | 18:08:37, June 08, 2005 CET | From | MLC Old Endralonian Resistance | To | Debating the International Aid Reform |
| Message | aid should be unconditional and as theres a much nicer bill going through I dont support this. |

| Message | OOC: All you liberals confuse me. Don't you know that as Democrats, you're already going to hell? The liberals have ruined this once-great country (meaning real-world US). |
| Date | 22:02:16, June 08, 2005 CET | From | Communist Party of Endralon | To | Debating the International Aid Reform |
| Message | OOC: DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT call us "liberals". Being called a "liberal" is an insult to any red-blooded socialist (pun intended). By the way, we prefer to use the CORRECT meaning of the term "liberal" (not its present-day American distortion). The correct meaning of "liberal" is used almost everywhere except in the USA, and would translate as "moderate libertarian" in US political terms. |

| Message | But Communist is zealously left-wing. Thus, Communism is Liberal. The correct form of 'Liberal' would be the Christian Democrat Party of Germany, not moderate Libertarians. |

| Message | Liberalism has always advocated unregulated free market economics and associating it with the left is absurd. The CPE is also correct to point out that this association only exists in the USA and in Europe most "liberal" parties are clearly on the right of the political spectrum. |

| Message | I agree with my leftist allies as to the naming , but even assuming you worded things correctly the US liberals only differ from the US conservatives by about 4-5 generally irrelevant mostly social issues such as abortion homosexuality etc . The choice isnt left and right its right wing for the less intelligent half of america vs right wing for the more intelligent half of america , both are still right wing and not left wing like us who disagree with most of what both your parties say. |
