| Message | The DSP must disagree, we must fix our own problems before looking outwards at the same thing. We also do believe that scientific research into it should be allowed since others may not be as ethical as we are and use them. |

| Date | 23:41:54, August 04, 2007 CET | From | 帝国公明党 (Teikoku Kōmeitō) | To | Debating the Chemical & Biological Weapons Ban Act |
| Message | If biological or chemical weapons were used against us we would use normal weapons to take out there capabilities. The DSP believes the bio/chem weapons are some of the worst weapons for two reasons; 1. They have the potential to wipe out a large swathe of humanity, regardless of where they're meant to be used. 2. The amount of civilian death directly and indirectly caused is potentially enormous. |
| Date | 16:32:24, August 05, 2007 CET | From | 帝国公明党 (Teikoku Kōmeitō) | To | Debating the Chemical & Biological Weapons Ban Act |
| Message | Because this bill will grow stale if it's left up for vote indefinitely, it will now be put up for vote. |
