| Date | 20:55:39, November 11, 2006 CET | From | Liberal Progressive Party | To | Debating the Freedom of Movement Act |
| Message | We've got so many threats around the world this would be idiotic. Solentian Nuncirists, Deltarian Sluzba, Rildanor paramilitaries... Simply put, we're not opening our borders with THAT lot around. |

| Message | Minimal is good enough, for now. Our Popular Militia patrols are augmenting the work of the border police, as there have been threats from pro-fascist foreign paramilitaries. |

| Message | We move that this bill be taken to a vote with the full expectation that it will be rejected. We hope that prehaps when we have achieved better stability in worldwide terms that it might be reconsidered. |

| Random quote: "A democracy that does not allow limits is not a democracy. Just as a limitless freedom is not freedom, but prevarication. Indeed, any theory of freedom worthy of this name is first of all a limit theory. If we extend the unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not willing to defend a tolerant society against the attacks of the intolerants, then the tolerants will be destroyed and the tolerance with them! Because, I ask to myself and ask you, given a certain system that we call democratic, which is today the best possible system to allow everyone to live freely and to be able to express their own thoughts, how can the same system admit attacks against its integrity? How can a system refuse the principle of the self-preservation? For this reason, to suppress the apologetics of thalerrism, it's for this reason that the exaltation of exegetes, principles, facts or methods of Thallerism and its anti-democratic aims does not constitute a violation of the freedom of manifestation of thought, but, on the contrary, the celebration of that freedom. The protection of the first premise on which a modern democratic system is based. And this premise must be safeguarded also and above all against itself and its abuses." ~ Malik Astori, Leadership of Liberty and Progress (Istalia) |
