| Date | 12:30:21, July 25, 2007 CET | From | Liberty Party | To | Debating the Increasing Defense Capabilities |
| Message | The state cannot supply the best possible defense weaponry as nationalized and subsidized corporations produce lower quality, less production and higher priced goods. Let the free market build our defense. |
| Date | 13:31:02, July 25, 2007 CET | From | People Party | To | Debating the Increasing Defense Capabilities |
| Message | I agree |
| Date | 19:22:39, July 25, 2007 CET | From | Progressive Liberals | To | Debating the Increasing Defense Capabilities |
| Message | Agreed. With the higher standards and efficiency that go along with private companies in general (in comparison to nationally owned ones) I feel that this change could bring about an advantage for us if and when we need our military to be in action. |
| Date | 21:19:23, July 25, 2007 CET | From | The Bolscevic Party | To | Debating the Increasing Defense Capabilities |
| Message | YEah, privatizes the defense industry! Thus foreign country could buy them! |
| Date | 09:39:55, July 26, 2007 CET | From | Liberty Party | To | Debating the Increasing Defense Capabilities |
| Message | A foreign country could own them, theoretically. However, if they continue to block the state's orders, new corporations would take over as the foreign corporations go bankrupt. The pros far outway the cons. |
| Date | 11:34:09, July 26, 2007 CET | From | Democratic Trade Unionist Party | To | Debating the Increasing Defense Capabilities |
| Message | We disagree. Certain industries can be privatized, but defence is one that the government should always at least partially fund, just in case. |
| Date | 14:08:24, July 26, 2007 CET | From | The Bolscevic Party | To | Debating the Increasing Defense Capabilities |
| Message | You cannot make bill one by one. You have to look at entire context. You permit all investement without any control, you privatize all, you make this country like a capitalistic hell. You are extremist. |
| Date | 00:10:55, July 27, 2007 CET | From | Liberty Party | To | Debating the Increasing Defense Capabilities |
| Message | We want our nation to be a Libertarian paradise. And by the looks of the current votes, that's a view shared by the majority of parties, at least on the issue of privatization. Your nothing but a vain socialist. |
