| Message | Excellent idea. First movement: The CNF. |

| Message | The PSP has to wonder whether the CNF has really considered the diplomatic implications here. Al'Badara currently hosts many foreign embassies and diplomats from all over the world. If we were to expel them all, it would have grave consequences for both our international standing and our trade prospects. We are inclined to think that this is a cynical vote-manipulating ploy by the CNF to try and make themselves appear more isolationist, when in fact it just makes them appear even further removed from reality. |

| Message | Perhaps its time for you foreign lovers to look at the wants of our people. They don't care for the outside world, in fact this bill reflects the peoples wishes perfectly and voting against it truly shows that the parties against this bill are loosing touch with the nation. |

| Message | CNF, these personal attacks are unacceptable in a professional setting. This also applies to Democracy Now to a certain extent. Although we can do nothing to halt this quarrel, the partnership urges you to act like civilized people. Be the better man. |

| Message | Personal Attacks? Unlikely, the CNF is attempting to expose the truth of the matter to the people so that the know exactly what they are voting for. |

| Message | Call it whatever you'd like. I will not get involved any further with this juvenile feud. |

| Message | We're unsure where the CNF gets it's information, but the people of Al'Badara don't hate the outside world. Want to know about the people of Al'Badara? They are PROGRESSIVE, SECULAR, and PERMISSIVE. Certainly the CNF represents the majority, because we've all seen how Progessive they are (No Gays, No "Undesirables), how Secular they are (Christians need to rule all, Government should be a theocracy), and how Permissive they are (No Gays, No Gambling, No Privacy). True, Al'Badara is isolationist, but this is in regards to foreign affairs and foreign wars. We live in TERRA, Not inside the head of the CNF's leaders. Furthermore, the CNF has never been guilty of "exposing" any truths. They ignore anything that disproves their outdated theories and continue to push for oppression of everyone except the Christian Minority. |
