| Message | "As homosexuality is technically illegal, we do not see how article 1 can be implemented, and would not ask our military to harbor criminals. We also dislike telling the men who defend our nation who can serve in the military; surely those organising the defense no better than us bearucrats and politicians? To take away the militarys autonomy after its brave defense of us against the Pontesians would be a huge disrespect." -Nesí Hamdiná Moshe Ne-anyahu |

| Message | "As homosexuality is technically illegal" Are we back in the stone age in your nation? No wonder why we have so many Jewish immigrants from the SJHB! "brave defense of us against the Pontesians" Apparently your relations with Pontesi are not as nice as you otherwise portray them to us. |

| Message | "The Beiteynuese army fought bravely in the war against Pontesi. Then we stopped fighting. Is that very difficult to understand? Currently Beiteynu and Pontesi cooperate a lot, due to the existance of Pontesian proctectorates in Beiteynu. As this bill has nothing to do with your nation, I ask you to respect our legislative sovereignty and refrain from comment." -Nesí Hamdiná Moshe Ne-anyahu |
