| Message | We will reject it. By the way, CJP, you should change your party's name. you are not representing the true catholic morals, although you take sometimes good positions. |
| Date | 14:56:10, January 06, 2007 CET | From | Catholic Justicial Party - Solidarity | To | Debating the End Prohibition Act |
| Message | You are incorrect, the Catholic Church does not reject alcohol consumption, but rather cals for it to be limited and mature. Obviously we will be voting for this. |

| Message | Let the beer flow |
| Date | 17:53:51, January 06, 2007 CET | From | Redneck Party | To | Debating the End Prohibition Act |
| Message | Alcohol leads to death, and abuse. It would be crimminal, and immoral to support this. Your party has no morals CJP, you are not true Christians by supporting this. |
| Date | 18:24:19, January 06, 2007 CET | From | Spiritualists' National Union | To | Debating the End Prohibition Act |
| Message | This is an extremely sensible proposal. Creating an unlicensed, unregulated black market makes the problem worse, not better. |
| Date | 19:53:30, January 06, 2007 CET | From | Catholic Justicial Party - Solidarity | To | Debating the End Prohibition Act |
| Message | There is nothing in 'true Christianity' that forbids moderate alcohol use, my Redneck friend. Our own Lord had some wine at his Last Supper, did he not? |
| Date | 20:00:10, January 06, 2007 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the End Prohibition Act |
| Message | Don't let the last supper blind you from the evils of alcohol my friend! We can still have communion/eucharist without alcohol, as the "fruit of the vine" symbolises Christ's blood. |
