| Message | Opinions? The three bills I've proposed I'm actually interested in seeing pass, and I won't put them to a vote until I'm sure they'll pass. |
| Date | 18:08:36, August 14, 2006 CET | From | Páirtí Sóisialach | To | Debating the Eyer Foreign Policy Adjustment Bill |
| Message | I like all articles II through V. What exactly is the point of article I? |
| Date | 03:18:47, August 15, 2006 CET | From | Catholic Workers Union | To | Debating the Eyer Foreign Policy Adjustment Bill |
| Message | Basically, so we're not extraditing our citizens to foreign countries to face punishment there instead of here. They're our citizens, they should be tried in our country under our laws by their real peers. |

| Message | Most of it is fair enough, but Article 1 is unfair to other countries, unless we claim "universal jurisdiction" like Belgium does for war crimes (I think). Otherwise, we can't really try a lot of people for crimes they may have committed elsewhere. |

| Message | Alright, we'll withdraw Article 1 and put this to a vote after the elections. |
