| Message | Does the illustrious representative of the HNP wish any form of compromise, or is any divergence from the established order unacceptable, with regards to this bill? |
| Date | 07:17:51, October 18, 2007 CET | From | Hulstrian Nationalist Party | To | Debating the Women's Liberation |
| Message | We are opposed to all of these changes. The HNP doesn't believe in the oppression of woman, and if woman wish to work, of fight for our nation we believe they should be able to. We apologize if our policy isn't conservative enough for you, but to be honest, we care about this country, and these changes don't serve its interests in any way whatsoever. |

| Message | So your party do not support making the army as strong as it could be? Women are inferior fighters, and women working full-time assaults the Family Unit, which in turn reduces the population growth, which means less men to join the army. |

| Message | Thats a good point. However, we still disagree with Article 1. Reintroduce the bill without that article and you'll have our support. |
| Date | 03:17:59, October 19, 2007 CET | From | Civic and Economic Liberty | To | Debating the Women's Liberation |
| Message | Women are not inferior fighters! A modern army doesn't just use grunt force. Women are skillful at seducing the enemy, among other things. |
