| Message | We proposed the changes to chemical weapons and nukes due to one fatal flaw in the reasoning of the current laws... that we may ONLY use them if another nation uses them first. These amendments were added so that if, in case, we learn that another nation has intention to use them that we can use them first. Debate shall begin now. |

| Message | Opposed. Although article three is interesting. As for article two we would prefer defence industries to be owned by the state As for explanation, we're a pacifist party and do not and cannot agree to allowing for the development of nuclear and/or bio-technology. These weapons do not just affect single targets for a short time but affect many for a very long time. |

| Message | So basically, you're never going to get our support on articles one and four. Article three we find interesting. Article two you'd have to persuade us very well. But as stands this bill will not get our support. |
