| Message | This fear mongering is nothing more than an excuse to revoke a basic civil liberty. Daunte Woodson Chairman Democratic Capitalist Delegation |
| Date | 12:52:15, July 19, 2008 CET | From | Radical Party | To | Debating the National Service Act |
| Message | Perhaps Mr. Woodson would not be so dismissive of its merits if a member of your family had been one of those that had died in the Ferene Bombings. The lack of on-hand military experience, and the reliance on the response of the policeforce, meant that it took several years to apprehend those criminals. If all citizens are trained in counter-terrorism techniques, we will be better prepared as a nation and a people for the terrible event of attack. Henry Appleton Internal Affairs Minister |

| Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar). |
