| Message | I don't think this will go through, but you are welcome to try. |
| Date | 17:11:56, June 05, 2006 CET | From | Liberty Party | To | Debating the Contraception |
| Message | I think you mean "government profligacy" ha ha ha. There is no need for subsidies. If you can't afford contraception, don't have sex. If you can afford contraception, you don't need to rob me to pay for it. |

| Message | As long as they only cost the producers of these unwanted children, it doesn't matter. Of course, if you socialists are able to impose a welfare state on us, then of course the burden of payment will fall on conscientious people which in turn disincentivise conscientious behaviour for everyone. But the problem is welfare not the absence of subsidies for special interests. |

| Message | Ultra-liberal on sex: "If you can't afford contraception, don't have sex." - now that's a quote! |
| Date | 03:10:42, June 14, 2006 CET | From | Liberty Party | To | Debating the Contraception |
| Message | It is quite a quote. Do remember, however, that it is a recommendation, not an order. I know that personal responsibility is an alien concept to you statists, but I'm sure you can understand the notion that people can have sex all they want but they have to accept the consequences. |
