| Message | Completely against all three. |
| Date | 23:46:56, May 16, 2006 CET | From | Communist Party of Saridan | To | Debating the Class War Bill |
| Message | Homosexuality is not a bourgeois activity, it is an act of rebellion against worldwide capitalism and conformity. We at the LSA HQ know many working-class gay people. |

| Message | Come of it, homosexuality has only ever been a social activity of those with money. Poor communities are notoriously heterosexual, its a fact. |
| Date | 15:35:10, May 17, 2006 CET | From | Pro Freedom Party | To | Debating the Class War Bill |
| Message | The reason most homosexual couples have more money is because men usually make more then women. Two men together would have a higher income base then a man and a woman or even two women. I don't see how homosexuality is a rebellion though. That would imply it's a voluntary behavior and I don't think it is. |

| Message | By the way NWP, I'm shocked you put up this bill considering one of your political affiliations is the gay and lesbians rights group. |

| Message | Of course its voluntary, surely the PFP know of Emo's? |
| Date | 02:18:13, May 18, 2006 CET | From | Communist Party of Saridan | To | Debating the Class War Bill |
| Message | It's not completely voluntary, but it is affected by their background, it's not genetic, and repressing it or not is voluntary. |
| Date | 02:22:52, May 18, 2006 CET | From | For the Division of Cheesecake Party | To | Debating the Class War Bill |
| Message | Emo is a disease. Not a sexual preference. Homosexuality isn't a choice anymore so then liking ice cream over corn. You don't choose to like ice cream more than corn, it's just you like the way your body reacts that you like. Such as to the tastes and textures, etc. |
| Date | 09:51:04, May 18, 2006 CET | From | Communist Party of Saridan | To | Debating the Class War Bill |
| Message | I think it is a lot more psychological than that analogy suggests. The human body has about the same texture, etc, male or female. It has to do with our psychology of what is beautiful. For example, I think the female form is beautiful, and if I were to desire to mate, I would be attracted to a female. But what stimulates that? Something deeply psychological, I assume. Possibly tied to genetics...I couldn't say. |

| Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
