From | Federalist Labour Party | To | Debating the Safer World for Our Children Act | | Message | The problem with this is if our neighboring countries have them and we don't. And even if they "dis-arm" we still cannot be sure that they are being honest. There for as the American saying goes "better to be safe than sorry". |

From | Kirlawa Green Party | To | Debating the Safer World for Our Children Act | | Message | What is we do not have any, and our neighbours have. Well do you think they'd use them? If they really would like to invade us I don't think they would use something that would destroy our land completely. Also about the terroristhreat. Having our own nukes doesn't make a difference to terrorists. They are (usually) not connected to any nation, so we couldn't retaliate with our own nukes. |

From | Federalist Labour Party | To | Debating the Safer World for Our Children Act | | Message | Good point. Although I do not know about you, but I'm not always the best at discerning or judging people on what exactly their “true” intentions are concerning any one issue. So it's very difficult me to say without any doubt that no other nation would attack Kirlawa using nuclear weapons. Power in any given country can change, thus a Stalinist or Expansionist could gain power and could easily attack JUST the Kirlawan Government and seize control over the entire territory. I believe in order for one to be a strong leader, one must not trust only what he believes is possible but also what is possible in a purely hypothetical sense. |

From | Conservative Christian Royalists | To | Debating the Safer World for Our Children Act | | Message | no way. it is always safe to have a back up. threat of nuclear war will stop all wars in future through fear of nuclear war. we cannot alow our nation to be seen as weak and pathetic. if we are invaded you are right we may not find ourselves victims of nuclear attack, however the threat of war is unlikely with an ace up our sleeve. |

From | Federalist Labour Party | To | Debating the Safer World for Our Children Act | | Message | Example: Country A: 'Lets Ban all Nukes' Country B: 'Okay great.' Country C: 'We agree only if all countries ban them’ *everyone signs in agreement* "Country C, then breaks the agreement and attacks countries A and B with nuclear weapons* |

From | Imperial Party | To | Debating the Safer World for Our Children Act | | Message | I think the Conservative Christian Alliance sums it up quite nicely. Only really to be used as a deterrent, to safeguard each nation in the event of a conflict, and from those who would use them (as even if one eliminates nuclear weapons, the technology and knowlegde of them will prevail, and production could potentially be reanimated). Thus holding the position for Head of State — and considering that a bill of this type has been earlier defeated in Rutania — The Imperial Party, as representative of Rutania, object to this proposal. |

From | Kirlawa Green Party | To | Debating the Safer World for Our Children Act | | Message | SPQK, I have proposed the creation of a nuclear shield for all nuclear-disarmed nations. This would portect us from conventional nuclear strikes. Would you be willing to support this? |

From | | To | Debating the Safer World for Our Children Act | | Message | The ARA is split on this issue. The Mullet-caucus (chaired by Alice Cooper) is strongly in support to "Kickin' some serious ass," but the Effeminate-man-caucus (Justin Timberlake, head) thinks that "love will conquer all. We will have to give this some serious thought. |
