| Message | We are not entirely sure - we would like to at least reserve the right to these things, as warfare is something that is very dangerous to restrict and to bind with legal red-tape. In warfare, as unfortunate as it is, we believe we must keep our options completely open, as any sign of legal remorse may prove a sign of weakness to our enemies and leave us vulnerable for attack. We certainly do not endorse the production and storage, etc, of this weaponry, but we do not want to restrict our defences either. |

| Message | We don't agree. We will have the higher level of defense. |
| Date | 21:04:34, June 20, 2007 CET | From | Party of Moderates | To | Debating the Military Efficiency Act |
| Message | Actually, we'll have a lower level of defense if this bill doesn't pass, because we'll be wasting money on weapons that will never be used and will serve no purpose as a deterrant. |
| Date | 06:31:13, June 21, 2007 CET | From | Progressive Democrats | To | Debating the Military Efficiency Act |
| Message | We believe we should reserve the right to develop these weapons given the unpredictabe and volatile nature of the international system. We believe these weapons should be developed and deployed only as an option of last resort in the event of an existential threat to our nation during a time of war. |
| Date | 14:52:07, June 21, 2007 CET | From | Party of Moderates | To | Debating the Military Efficiency Act |
| Message | That's why we have nuclear weapons. Chemical weapons are obsolete for that purpose. |
