| Date | 20:23:25, February 23, 2007 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the National Independence intiative |
| Message | Article 4 seems a little heavy handed, and will not necessarily endear us to ally nations, or to the world audience. The Axis Mundi Revolution supports the collective proposal, but makes special note of their opposition to the blanket removal of all aid packages. |
| Date | 21:28:43, February 23, 2007 CET | From | AM Feminazi Movement | To | Debating the National Independence intiative |
| Message | Opposition noted (*Insert ominous music sound here*) |
| Date | 21:34:54, February 23, 2007 CET | From | AM Radical Libertarian Party | To | Debating the National Independence intiative |
| Message | "(*Insert ominous music sound here*)" 25 kazoos playing 'On the Good Ship Lollypop', perhaps? |
| Date | 21:51:37, February 23, 2007 CET | From | AM Feminazi Movement | To | Debating the National Independence intiative |
| Message | OOC: Bloody hell I laughed - thanks AMRLP. |
| Date | 22:00:40, February 23, 2007 CET | From | AM Radical Libertarian Party | To | Debating the National Independence intiative |
| Message | OCC - Happy to be of service. |
| Date | 22:26:58, February 23, 2007 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the National Independence intiative |
| Message | Axis Mundi Revolution candidates feel compelled to assure that, indeed, 25 kazoos playing "the Good Ship Lollypop" is unreasonably scary. |
| Date | 22:37:37, February 23, 2007 CET | From |  Likaton Coalition of the Willing | To | Debating the National Independence intiative |
| Message | The LITP trust that there will be no need for kazoo's to be banned in light of this panic. We have been supportive of the Esirovo Kazoo Orchestra for many years, and can assure the Convocation that kazoo music can be used to convey many moods, and not just fear. |
| Date | 22:44:50, February 23, 2007 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the National Independence intiative |
| Message | Even so, surely the LITP will not attempt to conceal the fact that, of the 5 established moods that kazoos can engender: fear, terror, panic, and 'loss of bowel control' are the first four...? Much as we consider ourselves patrons of the arts, come the Revolution, those with kazoos may find themselves rather closer to the wall than many others. Except mimes. Obviously. |
| Date | 22:52:36, February 23, 2007 CET | From | Likaton Coalition of the Willing | To | Debating the National Independence intiative |
| Message | The LITP are outraged at these claims. In laboratory conditions, kazoo's have been used to stimulate joy, laughter, and even mild arousal. *Surlon J Dalway, LITP backbencher, mimes kazoo playing in the background* |
| Date | 22:58:03, February 23, 2007 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the National Independence intiative |
| Message | While we hate to question the veracity of the infamous LITP 'laboratories' (we are loathe even to employ the polite euphemism for such established torure camps), we believe that even a casual glance over the data shows that "joy, laughter and mild arousal" ARE side effects of the 'testing' - but that these particular responses were observed in the LITP 'arbiters', not in the testbed subjects. Indeed, according to one of the now discredited exploratory panel, it was the side effects of terror and bowel control in the subjects, that was found to have been the likely cause of the joy and arousal in the LITP observers. Or, so we have heard. |
| Date | 23:00:16, February 23, 2007 CET | From | Likaton Coalition of the Willing | To | Debating the National Independence intiative |
| Message | We resent that remark. |
| Date | 23:02:04, February 23, 2007 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the National Independence intiative |
| Message | The word you might have been looking for was "resemble". |
| Date | 23:05:36, February 23, 2007 CET | From | Likaton Coalition of the Willing | To | Debating the National Independence intiative |
| Message | The LITP would like to point out that kazoo use is not an offence, and that the AMR! stance is wholly unjustified. We may well put this to resolution following the election. |
| Date | 23:11:39, February 23, 2007 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the National Independence intiative |
| Message | "Not being an offence" is in no way equal to "not being offensive". If the LITP wishes to employ weapons of mass distraction against our own population, we shall respond as such efforts deserve. |
