| Message | I am eager for this bill to pass so if you decide not to support this due to only one or two articles I could possibly remove those. |

| Message | We have a small issue with the first article, but we have much more pressing issues with articles 8 and 6. For some people, loath as I am to admit it, prostitution is their only source of income. Do I agree with the practice? Not necessarily, but I do understand that in desperate conditions, desperate measures are necessary. In recognizing prostitution as a real profession, which one could argue that it is, at least a limited amount of protections are granted to those found in this rather unfortunate circumstance. |

| Message | Recognizing prostitution as a legitimate profession encourages more young women to seek those ventures. The law needs to act as a clear instructor to show right and wrong. In a modern country like Dundorf prostitution isn't a necessary choice. We have a strong welfare system that can take care of people so that they don't have to end up in those situations. Your point only makes sense in a capitalist economy. |

| Message | Which is exactly what the AfD is trying to force upon Dundorf, you have clearly forgotten. |
| Date | 18:13:48, June 16, 2019 CET | From | Sozialistische Koalition | To | Debating the VPD Economic Proposition |
| Message | This bill isn't made by the AfD. This is our plan too reform our economy whilst still remaining socialist. |
| Date | 21:34:52, June 16, 2019 CET | From | Demokratische Sozialistische Partei | To | Debating the VPD Economic Proposition |
| Message | Good luck with that. The AfD won't stop until Dundorf is no longer Socialist. |
