| Message | we notice you refuse to mention why..... we believe it to be because you known and accept you have no solid base to disagree with it and so it comes down to the fact that the fascists only desire is to betray the workers and the good citzens of this nation. an army of equals for a country of equals |

| Message | Women are not meant to serve in the military; it is a perversion of the natural order. That is not to say women are inferior to men, but they are different, and we should recognize that. Homosexuals reduce cohesion. And we will treat prisoners of other nations as those nations treat our prisoners. |

| Message | but with our great military advancements we can easily adapt women into our fighting orders. there is virtually no hand to hand fighting anymore its not like their carrying huge swords into battle. modern warfare is very technical and light and fast. |
| Date | 23:26:35, April 23, 2008 CET | From | Social Democratic Pacifist Party | To | Debating the RSP - Military Reforms |
| Message | We would like to vote yes, but cannot agree to article one |
| Date | 02:37:42, April 24, 2008 CET | From | Party of Hope | To | Debating the RSP - Military Reforms |
| Message | We agree with article one, but article three is unacceptable. The Anarchist Party is once again trying to destroy our nation by forcing us to submit to the authority of foreigners. We are a sovereign nation under constant threat from unscrupulous outsiders. We must do what needs to be done to protect our people, and sometimes those things are unpleasant. The real world is a harsh place, and we must work together for survival and prosperity. |
| Date | 17:21:19, April 24, 2008 CET | From | Republican Socialist Party | To | Debating the RSP - Military Reforms |
| Message | again with the claims about the party of Anarchist but the fact remains we are the people party who believe in accountable state functions and a stronmg socilaist presence. we believe in big government not no government and our record has shown that. the real world is harsh and will be harsher for the Party of Hopers as they have no practical solutions to our nations problems, they are a waste of space and are only standing in the way of the WORKERS |
