| Date | 03:32:35, December 17, 2006 CET | From | New Democratic Party | To | Debating the NDP Social Manifesto 2330 |
| Message | We are dismayed at the sudden shift towards prudishness, particularly in the regard of media sexual content, and in the xenophobically intense border security. Ikradon has no need of such backward thinking and it is imperative we undo these changes and once more establish the progressive society that is the envy of other nations. |
| Date | 03:39:59, December 17, 2006 CET | From | Absolutist Party | To | Debating the NDP Social Manifesto 2330 |
| Message | We oppose. Open, free, and liberal societies always perish. |
| Date | 03:41:25, December 17, 2006 CET | From | New Democratic Party | To | Debating the NDP Social Manifesto 2330 |
| Message | Which must be why we've gone over 300 years being open, free, liberal, as well as socialist for most of that time, and have collapsed miserably with the result that Ikradon no longer exists... |
| Date | 03:53:17, December 17, 2006 CET | From | Iqembu Sokusebenzisana Yeningi | To | Debating the NDP Social Manifesto 2330 |
| Message | START-UP supports these sensible reforms. |
| Date | 05:10:01, December 17, 2006 CET | From | Progressive Centrist Democrats | To | Debating the NDP Social Manifesto 2330 |
| Message | We welcome the NDP back on the political scene and support this bill |
| Date | 11:19:11, December 17, 2006 CET | From | National Conservative Party | To | Debating the NDP Social Manifesto 2330 |
| Message | The NCP will opposes |
| Date | 20:10:13, December 17, 2006 CET | From | Ikradone Nationalsozialistische Partei | To | Debating the NDP Social Manifesto 2330 |
| Message | We see no reason why Ikradon has to return to the moral cesspool that it was. The fact that the NDP would call people "prudes" who don't think that pornography should be available at times where children watch clearly demonstrates the NDP's complete lack of any sort of moral responsibility. |
| Date | 01:56:47, December 18, 2006 CET | From | New Democratic Party | To | Debating the NDP Social Manifesto 2330 |
| Message | Moral responsibility is not the government's. It belongs to the people. The denial of this by parties such as yourselves does not respect democracy. Sex is a natural and central part of life. We should not have any qualms about educating children about where they came from. The people will wield the remote, as they have done for centuries, and determine what morality they will accept. It is not the government's job to do that. |
| Date | 06:13:54, December 18, 2006 CET | From | United Peoples Party | To | Debating the NDP Social Manifesto 2330 |
| Message | We fully oppose. Sex in the park on the playgrounds on the television and the possibility of Terrorists entering the nation. Clearly only a head case could support such a bill |
| Date | 06:42:25, December 18, 2006 CET | From | New Democratic Party | To | Debating the NDP Social Manifesto 2330 |
| Message | As if there is no possibility of terrorists entering the nation as it is - or that all terrorists originate from outside Ikradon's borders (the vast majority of terrorism is domestic). The UPP's insults will get them nowhere. |
| Date | 11:41:53, December 19, 2006 CET | From | United Peoples Party | To | Debating the NDP Social Manifesto 2330 |
| Message | However your blatant disregard for Compromise have set this bill up for defeat |
