| Message | These proposals attempt to restrict the freedoms our Malivians have grown to enjoy. Neither of these issues are wrong in their own right, rather the banning of them will lead to a blackmarket for each, resulting in loss of control and tax revenue from them. |
| Date | 19:51:29, September 05, 2006 CET | From | Patriotic National Front | To | Debating the Act on Decency. |
| Message | We are concerned about the effects that pornography and prostitution have on the social fabric of our nation. We do not think that having them legal is good from a moral standpoint, and are worried that the government might be unable to control them if they are legal. As for freedom, well there need to be some limits to it in order for society to work, otherwise you have chaos. |
