| Message | If we send mothers and daughters to die, are we men? Where will the next generation be born from? With no mothers, we have no men. |

| Message | Obviously, the Honourable member has not read the recent report from the Finance Ministry - Beluzia is in no danger of population decline. Quite the opposite, in fact. |

| Message | Comrade USCRA, you forget Mao's famous remark, "women hold up half the heavens." Women have and always will play a role in defending the revolution. How can we forget the heroic deeds of Vilma Espin in Santiago? (sorry for going out of character a bit, I'm trying to prove a point). What about your policy of arming the people? Are Beluzian women not part of the people? PPP, last time we checked, men contribute just as much to the creation of babies. Besides, we're not even at war, and we will not be at war for a long time. Even if we were at war, we're sure all parties would agree that every Beluzian should struggle for their nation's survival and victory. |

| Message | The war never ceases... except for lying traitorous backstabbers like you! Examine the true words of Mao: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7243500.stm |

| Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
