| Message | The PNRF feel that restricting the sale of condoms for religious reasons is ridiculous. If anything they should be banned because they reduce the pleasure of sex. Contraceptives in general however should never be banned. |
| Date | 11:59:30, June 27, 2006 CET | From | Keymon Green Party | To | Debating the Contraceptives Ban |
| Message | Family planning is an essential part of ensuring the economic strength of our nation. If we ban contraceptives, we doom numerous families to poverty, and we doom our eco-system to damage from an excessively high rate of population growth. I would like to remind the honourable Deputy Minister that many married couples use contraceptives to help plan when they have children. They are a very useful tool for married couples. |
| Date | 00:40:54, June 28, 2006 CET | From | KSB Party | To | Debating the Contraceptives Ban |
| Message | If we ban condoms it is not going to stop people from having pre-marital sex it is going to make it so when they do they will have a baby therefore increasing the number to infants in our country. This will also lead to more children not being taken care of because their parents can not afford food. I am sorry but the KSB party is totally against this bill. |

| 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". |
