| Date | 21:22:56, January 10, 2007 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Moral Laws |
| Message | We'd like to see a softer approach for article II. What's wrong with a man and his wife enjoying sexual relations, within wedlock, to express their love for one another? |

| Date | 11:36:07, January 11, 2007 CET | From | Spiritualists' National Union | To | Debating the Moral Laws |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
