| Date | 01:21:35, July 17, 2008 CET | From | Red Tory Party | To | Debating the Force Weaponry Act |
| Message | It is an improvement. The RTP would like to see military grade equipment in the hands of our justice keepers, though. |
| Date | 02:33:43, July 17, 2008 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Force Weaponry Act |
| Message | Why this march towards militarism? Again, we ask - are none of these (So called conservative?) new parties aware of the rather ignoble past of this once-proud nation? |
| Date | 04:49:51, July 17, 2008 CET | From | Berosian Party | To | Debating the Force Weaponry Act |
| Message | A great improvement. The Berosian party supports the idea of our police officers to be able to defend themselves against the criminals of this country, and to swing the balance of power more to the side of our justice system. |
| Date | 07:23:52, July 17, 2008 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Force Weaponry Act |
| Message | There is no current 'imbalance' of power. All this legislation does, is put lethal weaponry in the hands of a government run institution. We hardly expected to be in the minority opposing this, to be honest. |
| Date | 18:27:08, July 17, 2008 CET | From | Spenocratic Party | To | Debating the Force Weaponry Act |
| Message | We wouldn't have to worry about militarism if your "idol" would allow the citizens to own guns! |
| Date | 22:33:25, July 17, 2008 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Force Weaponry Act |
| Message | The Spenocratic Party 'official line' is that we wouldn't have to worry about militarism if we were all armed? We think the Spenocratic Party might want to rethink their position... or take a course in basic logic. |
