| Message | This is irresponsible. |
| Date | 22:45:22, May 12, 2008 CET | From |  Moderate Libertarian Party (NoCoalition) | To | Debating the Total Freedom Act of 2575 Part III |
| Message | Why? WHO IS A THREAT TO US! WE'VE NEVER BEEN ATTACKED! Were a bigger threat to the world then any one other country is to us. |
| Date | 23:04:55, May 12, 2008 CET | From | Alorian Public Union | To | Debating the Total Freedom Act of 2575 Part III |
| Message | Not true on the second point. We have a modest army (which is fine, since your first point is correct). We are a relatively small country (only a few on Terra are smaller so far as population is concerned). In recent history, we have intervened abroad only once. |

| Message | Having a large army and effective civil defence acts as a deterrent against attack. It is precisely because of the measures the MLP wishes to revoke that "we've never been attacked". |
| Date | 13:26:22, May 13, 2008 CET | From | Liberal Party | To | Debating the Total Freedom Act of 2575 Part III |
| Message | We are never been attacked, but never say never! Tomorrow, some foreign nation could invade our country, and what then?? We are a peaceful nation, but their is a chance that one day we could be under attack! And by the way, a civil defence system is not only for times of war, but can also be used in times of disasters! |
