| Message | This would be to easy to abuse in a state of emergency |
| Date | 05:05:17, April 22, 2008 CET | From | United Republics Party | To | Debating the Curfew Reform Act of 2564 |
| Message | The URP totally agrees. A local government could claim an emergency now because of the war - eventhough no shots have been fired in 13 years. |
| Date | 05:33:16, April 22, 2008 CET | From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the Curfew Reform Act of 2564 |
| Message | A state of emergency is only declared by the national government. The local governments do not have the right to declare a state of emergency. |
| Date | 06:34:46, April 22, 2008 CET | From | United Republics Party | To | Debating the Curfew Reform Act of 2564 |
| Message | The language implies that local governments can declare states of emergency. |

| Message | Only if you can't read English and by the looks of it you can. It says local governments may impose curfews, only if a state of emergency has been declared. It never implies that they can declare a state of emergency. |
| Date | 07:07:46, April 22, 2008 CET | From | United Republics Party | To | Debating the Curfew Reform Act of 2564 |
| Message | It never says who can and cannot declare states of emergency. If the bill devolves power to the Republics and recognizes the authority of the Republics to impose cerfews; it would be logical that they also have the authority to declare emergencies. Surely the national government could also declare emergencies, but there is NOTHING in this bill indicating that Port Andalay has exclusive power to do so. Perhaps the LP should more closely examine the language of the bill before it imposes its own flimsy interpretation and insults the intelligence of vastly more knowledgeable parties. |

| Message | Again you are not reading or understanding my posts. I never insulted you and I will never insult you. I am not like you. I don' t know about you being more knowledgeable. |

| Message | Wouldnt a state of war be a state of emergency by default? It doesnt get much worse than a state of war |
| Date | 23:29:24, April 22, 2008 CET | From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the Curfew Reform Act of 2564 |
| Message | No. A state of war is not a state of emergenvy by default. They are two different things. A state of emergency usually does not last very long and it is for special circumstances such as a natural disaster. |
| Date | 02:14:30, April 23, 2008 CET | From | Lodamun Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Curfew Reform Act of 2564 |
| Message | I would call a state of war a very special circumstance. What exactly are the prerequsits for a state of emergency? I think the supreme court should make a ruling on this when we get one up |
| Date | 03:18:23, April 23, 2008 CET | From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the Curfew Reform Act of 2564 |
| Message | I can tell you what it is but let's leave it to the Supreme Court. |
