| Message | ID cards are utterly pointless unless mandatory and therefore waste money. Mandatory cards are an overextension of state power and therefore none at all is the best solution! |

| Message | Of course not. We always need ID cards. |
| Date | 02:03:49, June 23, 2005 CET | From | MLC Old Endralonian Resistance | To | Debating the Civil Liberties Act |
| Message | Id cards are very convenient , there are numerous situations in life where they save a lot of hassle they should be available but not forced. |
| Date | 22:19:40, June 23, 2005 CET | From | Communist Party of Endralon | To | Debating the Civil Liberties Act |
| Message | This bill is ridiculous. WTF is wrong with ID cards? THEY DON'T CONTAIN ANY PRIVATE INFORMATION! They just record things like your name and address, which anyone could find out by looking in a damn PHONE BOOK. |
