| Message | The Defense Minister took the necessary actions to protect our citizens. How dare you say that protecting our citizens is not humane! Our current laws protect the civil rights of every person, not only Lodamunese citizens. |

| Message | The LLP did not authorize the attack in northern Rapula. All POWs captured by our armed forces are treated humane according the law, and I challenge you to provide any law that legalise abuse of POWs |

| Date | 22:16:17, April 26, 2008 CET | From | Pariah Idealism | To | Debating the POW Act |
| Message | I don't not agree. We are allowed to kill people here. I think that's stupid! I say don't kill anyone, or kill everyone who commits a crime no matter how minor it is. Which makes it obvious that not killing people is the way to go. |
