| Message | We oppose using prisoners as slave labout, not only on moral but also on practical grounds: production by prisoners has proven to be ineffective due to lack of motivation, sabotage, stealing tools, attempted escapes, etc etc. Furthermore, bicycle-rickshaws are *so* passé. Our Rt. Hon. right-wing friends should consider establishing decent bycicle pathways for the Beluzian people before enlisting slave labour to ride these non-existing bike-paths! |

| Message | Your Rt-Hon. friends who aren't in power. Also it is as much your job as mine. Who says there isn't a network of cycle paths nationwide. |

| Message | I'm so tempted to vote no in revenge, but I thought, "Eh, whats the point." So long as they're not violent. |
| Date | 03:06:13, July 15, 2005 CET | From | Social-Liberal Party | To | Debating the Penal Pedal Power! |
| Message | The fact that you and the Peoples Fasci... err populist party have been around that long leads me to believe that this is the case. Also, your comfy cabinet positions look pretty certain. :) |
| Date | 03:58:36, July 15, 2005 CET | From | Beluzian Labor Party | To | Debating the Penal Pedal Power! |
| Message | Labor is strongly opposed to exploitation of labour, even prison labour. Further, Labor is concerned about the impact this bill could have on Beluzia's bicycle industry, which would be unable to compete. |

| Message | Good point I hadn't thought of that... Well from a personal point of view they rip you off soooo bad because I have had to resort to making a racer from bits instead of buying one (although its gonna look fabby-dabby-do! when I'm finished) but that would be petty... |
