| Message | Running is free, and beyond that, as far as nationalising sports is concerned, most other things are rather higher up the priority list. |
| Date | 15:57:12, July 12, 2005 CET | From | Patriot Party | To | Debating the Health and Sports Act |
| Message | agreed. We have more pressing issues. |
| Date | 18:11:49, July 12, 2005 CET | From | Democratic Socialist Party | To | Debating the Health and Sports Act |
| Message | We're not forcing people: it says every child should be able to join a sports club, not every child has to. And children from disadvantaged backgrounds are unable to use the best sports equipment because they cannot afford to train privately. They are missing out, and what's more, the nation is losing its sporting heritage. Where will the next Olympic spear-throwers come from? |
| Date | 23:33:27, July 12, 2005 CET | From | Republican Party | To | Debating the Health and Sports Act |
| Message | Yes, everything going well until someone asks. Who's gonna pay for this? DSP from Party's collection? Lets better spend some money on our engineers and architects. |

| Message | Then the kids will be on the street and crime will skyrockett. No thanks. |
| Date | 09:27:53, July 13, 2005 CET | From | Republican Party | To | Debating the Health and Sports Act |
| Message | Kids will be on the street. Ha ha ha. You think giving money will force children to sport. Maybe you right, but if this so important for you, fund some stadions from your collection. Don't bother government. Why you want take away parents money and fund some sports club. If you want your children to go to the club I will pay for it. But if I prefer piano lessons I will have choice. I will decide where my money will go. This bill makes only good for some DSP party guys who will take away peoples money and dispose them. Course they don't forget about their pay-chceck, beside there will be chance to set up auction. Their become established from peoples money. |

| Message | "This bill makes only good for some DSP party guys who will take away peoples money and dispose them." Whatever happened to coherent sentences? Or, for that matter, coherent thought? If all sports clubs charge admission, then the poorest children will not be able to join any. Simple. |
| Date | 20:52:55, July 13, 2005 CET | From | Patriot Party | To | Debating the Health and Sports Act |
| Message | As much as I hate to do this but we'll support this bill. |
| Date | 22:47:22, July 13, 2005 CET | From | Social Dynamist Party | To | Debating the Health and Sports Act |
| Message | DSP, English is not his first language. Patience, please. |
| Date | 18:38:50, July 14, 2005 CET | From | Democratic Socialist Party | To | Debating the Health and Sports Act |
| Message | Sorry. |
| Date | 23:25:25, July 15, 2005 CET | From | Republican Party | To | Debating the Health and Sports Act |
| Message | DSP. If you are so concern about poorest peoples make a fundation 'Sport for poor children'. But why you want to take away from somebody his money? Let me answer one more time. You want to have control over this poor peoples. You will go to them and say. Look what I have did for you and now vote for me. This is how the history goes. And when you take away from middle earnings you make them poor. 'Two roast on one fire' (idiom). You get poor people to vote and you get more voters. |
| Date | 12:50:18, July 17, 2005 CET | From | Democratic Socialist Party | To | Debating the Health and Sports Act |
| Message | The idea that so much tax is taken from the petty bourgeois and redistributed that they become poor is logically and practically impossible. That's not the way the tax system works. My party does not want control over others: it is the capitalists who enslave the proletariat. We wish to bring more power to the people. |

| Message | :) No comment. |

| Message | Thanks Iorenz Party: I have no idea who you are, but thanks for voting for this! Thanks to everyone else too! |
| Date | 03:44:09, July 19, 2005 CET | From | Rightist Party | To | Debating the Health and Sports Act |
| Message | Bring more power to the people? That isn't the socialist way. All well... I am the deciding vote on this apparently. *quickly thinks it over* |
| Date | 03:46:51, July 19, 2005 CET | From | Rightist Party | To | Debating the Health and Sports Act |
| Message | After thinking it over, and re-reading the bill... Since private ones are also allowed, we will cast our deciding votes..... FOR this proposal. |
