From | Tukarali Popular Party | To | Debating the National Service | | Message | We can accept this, though we would prefer all able bodied adults to serve one term in the armed forces upon completion of schooling. |
| Date | 21:24:39, February 24, 2008 CET |
From | Tukarali Graenix Party | To | Debating the National Service | | Message | The reason I chose this one is because people would give the argument that our military would be full of unqualified people |
| Date | 21:39:38, February 24, 2008 CET |
From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the National Service | | Message | We shouldn't be stealing a year of people's lives to force them to work for the state. How is this any different from forced labour camps? |
| Date | 01:56:42, February 25, 2008 CET |
From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the National Service | | Message | A prisoner is guilty, and should be making restitution for their crime. An ordinary person is not guilty and has nothing to make restitution for. Obviously. |
| Date | 03:43:26, February 25, 2008 CET |
From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the National Service | | Message | No, that can be said to be incapacitation, retribution or deterrence, but certainly not restitution. |
| Date | 04:17:47, February 25, 2008 CET |
From | Tukarali Graenix Party | To | Debating the National Service | | Message | Simply put, it should not be happening. And the proposed law would greatly improve the state of affairs in Tukarali |
| Date | 07:30:07, February 25, 2008 CET |
From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the National Service | | Message | The proposed law will do nothing but engender feelings of bitterness against the state which forces people, against their will, to work for the state in forced labour. |

| Random fact: Particracy does not allow official national flags of real-life nations or flags which are very prominent and recognisable (eg. the flags of the European Union, the United Nations, Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union or the Confederate States of America). |
| Random quote: First and second class seats on public transport shall be BANNED! We are all FIRST CLASS people, regardless of whether we are rich or poor and can afford or not afford to pay for a more expensive seat. From now on, all seats on trains, buses, trams, planes and so on shall be the SAME. We will all travel in the SAME way, TOGETHER.
