| Message | Why do the Golden Capitalists wish to withdraw from these agreements? |

| Message | The first treaty is an important treaty signed by the majority of the World's nations. We see no reason to withdraw. The second treaty we undestand your labelling as "outdated" due to the Olymnpics having stalled. We see no reason to withdraw however, the Olympics may well start again. The third treaty was a vitally important treaty which managed to compleatly free Dranland of the evil drug Yoj. Removal of this treaty would signal to the world's drug pushers that Dranland was open for business. |

| Message | From our recent investigations into Yoj it was revealed that from being "an evil drug" it was nothing more than an anti-depressant with a useful medical nature. It was merely your predecessor party the Plaid's who attacked the drug because they needed an enemy to justify increasing the power of the government at the expense of personal liberty. |

| Message | This would be the "useful" drug which was banned in 15 nations, and only readily available in 4 of Terra's nations? The world saw Yoj for what it weas, lethal, and took prompt action. Thanks to the disruptive efforts of one party in Dranland we took longer than most toban it and the result were numerous deaths. Withdrawing from the Yoj treaty would signal that Dranland was open to drug pusherss and all the crime that follows them. Not only pushers of Yoj (which are smallin number these days thanks to the Terra wide crack down) but of all dangerous drugs. |

| Message | We have nothing against the TOA. The other two we would like to see annulled. |
| Date | 19:12:19, April 24, 2007 CET | From | Order of Valtiel | To | Debating the Removal and Withdraw from Outdated Treaties Act |
| Message | There ARE no drug pushers in Dranland because ALL recreational drugs are legal and HAVE BEEN legal for centuries! |

| Message | There is nothing "useful" about an antidepressant that has no more efficacy than a mere placebo. Since the Mental Health Reform Act was implemented, psychiatric drug use is at an all time low in this country. Drug companies no longer exert any influence on government or health agencies, there is no psychiatric monopoly, there is no "pill-popping" culture, and people are free to find safe, workable, alternative solutions without fear of being fraudulently labelled with a junkscience "disorder". We strongly oppose. |
