| Message | This is outright insolent, without any consideration for the fact that according to many clear opinion polls, people generally want securalism in the country. The state must not interfere into the matters of religion and religion must not interfere into matters of the state, it dangerously compromises free thinking, individualism, personal freedom and hands the power in the country for religious leaders from elected ones. Legislation by the KCTP can be regarded as Catholic coup de´ tat. The alarm bells should be ringing in the Industrialist Party too, your party is used only for strenghtening the position of the KCTP. This will only strenghten the determination of Catholic militants which will now get more power due to bills of the KCTP and soon people of Kanjor can't state their opinions without fear of revenge & oppression. Riots & violence will soon follow. |
| Date | 20:48:47, January 10, 2007 CET | From | Front de Libèration du Kanjor | To | Debating the National Catholicism Act |
| Message | This is giving strength to the people, the people in Kanjor need to stop leading Godless pathetic lives and start leading good pius lives in order to reach salvation. Opinion polls are not reliable at all and if riots happen then they will be suppressed. |
| Date | 22:31:56, January 10, 2007 CET | From | Kanjoran Socialist Party | To | Debating the National Catholicism Act |
| Message | We think the NCP is being alarmist. Such things will not happen in a civilized country, especially one that is predominantly catholic. We also agree with the KCTP that if riots occur a state of emergency will be declared and the milita will hush them up. We support the KCTP's proposal on religion, as our party is also very religious. Also about my party being used, that is incorrect. We want to see the citizens opressed and hopefully they will have fear of opression. |
| Date | 22:43:24, January 10, 2007 CET | From | National Coalition Party | To | Debating the National Catholicism Act |
| Message | The KCTP seems to simply discredit reliable opinion polls conducted by many respected polling institutions? Only deeply religious province in this country is Vagderra, rest being moderate ones which surely don't approve the latest legislation iniatives provided by the KCTP nor the actions of catholic militants. The Industrialist Party has again made its stance regarding civil rights, freedom and democracy very clear: oppression, fear and discrimination, all which belong into dark Middle Ages and not into modern society. The NCP can't help but just wondering the attitudes of the people when they go to cast their votes in elections. |
| Date | 22:52:19, January 10, 2007 CET | From | Kanjoran Socialist Party | To | Debating the National Catholicism Act |
| Message | traditionally Kanjor has not been a free country |
| Date | 01:01:57, January 11, 2007 CET | From | Partie Patriotique de Kanjor | To | Debating the National Catholicism Act |
| Message | We dont have a problem with article 4, but we oppose the other proposals. |
