| Message | The GNP would support articles 1 and 2 but feel that article 3 is adequate (it is the same policy that you are proposing for chemical and biologial weapons). |

| Message | I know, I think that we should be able to use nuclear weapons whenever it is neccesary, but we should only use bio-chemo weapons when they are used against us. |

| Message | Please forgive our intrusion into your debates, but the issue is grave. Throughout Terra, it is only rogue states that possess chemical and biological weapons. These barbaric weapons, designed to kill and maim in the worst way possible, have no value in war and none of the deterrent value that nuclear arms (arguably) have. There is no possible threat to Gaduridos justifying these weapons, since the disarmament of Kalistan (by the Libertarian party there), so we can only assume that this bill signals an intention by some parties in Gaduridos to become an aggressive state. |

| Message | Only 9 nations in Terra have the policy of using chem and bio weapons for no reason. Do we really want to join this exclusive club? Als, already it is damaging our reputation and image with other parties and nations. |
| Date | 20:49:21, September 10, 2005 CET | From | National Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Military Freedom Act 2107 |
| Message | We are not in the club, we allow the use of chemo/bio weapons ONLY when they are used on us. |
