| Message | Strongly opposed, this could endanger national security. Surely we don't want to sell arms to our enemies! |

| Message | Why not? We could make those arms all defective *evil smile* |
| Date | 17:31:44, September 24, 2005 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the Freedom of Export |

| Message | I will have to vote against. The current system is fine and allows for Rutanian arms to be sold to allies and those who will not use these weapons against civilians or in war crimes. I do not feel that the proposed change will do anything to help current arms trading whilst it would allow people who have disreputable histories to buy Rutanian arms. |

| Message | Against. Why on earth would we want to allow our arms industry to sell to hostile nations? |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
