| Message | (1) Just some quick comments on our proposals to withdraw from the "World Peace Treaty" and "Chemical & Biological Weapons Disamament Treaty." Now, we ALL agree that use of Chemical, Biological, and Nuclear weapons is an ABOMINATION b/c they can kill innocent civilians. Nevertheless, simply banning them by "law or treaty" will NOT eliminate them b/c ONLY Law-abiding Nations would comply. Criminals, Terrorists, and Nation-States that sponsor Terrorism will disavow the Treaties b/c they have no respect for the law in begin with. Therefore, if they use those weapons, we need the capability to DEFEND the sovereignty of our nation and people. (2) As for the last proposal about not allowing Women to serve alongside men on the frontlines is NOT a "sexist" position. Let me explain: Common sense, of course, a woman with the same training can probably shoot better than 10 men and probably can beat them in a fight. Nevertheless, that is NOT the point. The point is that to be quite honest and "crude", unfortunately, Women should not serve on the Frontlines b/c they can get PREGNANT and men cannot. In other words, if a man dies on the battlefield, it is a terrible loss but biologically speaking he is expendable b/c the average male produces 300 million sperm cells a day whereas a woman produces ONE egg cell per month and then it takes 9 months for her to carry the child to term. Think about it: if massive numbers of women die in battle, we as a Nation will not have the capability to RE-populate. Therefore, society should also try to encourage a higher ratio of women to men. Thanks and I look forward to your support of a Strong National Defense of the nation. |

| Message | I commend this bill other than for the fact of not allowing women in battle. We need all the power we can get on the lines fighting, whether or not this is a "hard hit" biologically. |
| Date | 11:08:18, July 21, 2007 CET | From | Capitalist Working Families | To | Debating the Give The People of The Commonwealth of Rutania A Strong National Defense Act |
| Message | Yes, I understand we need as MUCH troops as possible to fight and win war, and I am NOT a "sexist." I believe Women---even MORESO than men---should have a right to keep and bear firearms. However, if women are dying in massive numbers on the battlefield, what will happen when the war is OVER??? We as a Nation will not be able to reproduce effectively if the ratio of men outnumber women b/c ONE man can impregnate a thousand women but one woman could NEVER do the same. In additon, although I am ADAMANTLY opposed to a civilian draft, I believe the gov't of Rutania has a right to draft Prisoners who are currently serving life imprisonment or they are on death row. Btw, forgive me if this is TOO personal of course, but do you mind me asking which REAL country you are from? Thanks and take care. |
