| Message | We do not have relationships with some countries such as Likatonia and Deltaria. Both of them tried to invade us and take over our country. We certainly do not want their embassies in our soil. We are beginning to think that the LCDP want our country to be invaded by a foreign force. |
| Date | 07:43:42, August 15, 2008 CET | From | Holy Eliyahu Confession | To | Debating the Nonaligned Embassy Act |
| Message | were amused by the Liberals statement. apparently being willing to talk to people is suddenly a invitation to invasion. quite the opposite, the current lack of dialogue with these states makes us less secure, and we intend to change that. |
| Date | 08:04:10, August 15, 2008 CET | From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the Nonaligned Embassy Act |
| Message | Even if this law passes, we will still not allow a Likatonian or Deltarian embassy. Please check the "List of Foreign Affairs Actions" bill. It compiles our trade embargos and such. |

| Message | OOC: This bill is on the debate page but I will provide a link. The actual bills authorizing both actions should be somewhere. Feel free to look for them. http://80.237.164.51/particracy/main/viewbill.php?billid=187757 |
| Date | 15:44:46, August 15, 2008 CET | From | Holy Eliyahu Confession | To | Debating the Nonaligned Embassy Act |
| Message | clearly this law would invalidate those old laws. |
| Date | 16:06:53, August 15, 2008 CET | From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the Nonaligned Embassy Act |
| Message | Oh, no. Those law clearly stated specific cases. Unless changed, those embassies will not be in our soil. We hope the LCDP respects history and respects our nation. We do not want the countries responsible for killing millions of our citizens to have embassies in our soil. |
| Date | 16:43:53, August 15, 2008 CET | From | Holy Eliyahu Confession | To | Debating the Nonaligned Embassy Act |
| Message | the entire spirit of this law is that we are willing to put our rivalries aside and let them set up an avenue for dialogue. no harm ever came from having the civility to speak to someone. if this bill passes, those old resolutions are clearly invalid. |
| Date | 17:06:40, August 15, 2008 CET | From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the Nonaligned Embassy Act |
| Message | No, they are not invalid. Those resolutions are for specific cases, no matter what the laws are. So, you have to authorize them individually. You are a disgrace to this country. We will not give in, we will not be looked as being weak. We will not allow either one to set up an embassy in our country. They will probably say no anyways because they don't allow our embassy in their country either and they have the same bans on us. |
| Date | 18:42:05, August 15, 2008 CET | From | Holy Eliyahu Confession | To | Debating the Nonaligned Embassy Act |
| Message | im not saying that they will open an embassy, im simply saying there's no reason why we shouldn't let them. by removing the authority of the foreign office to regulate who can open an embassy, any nation will in effect be allowed to open an embassy, and all previous agreements which go against the specific wording of this law would become automatically invalid. if the Liberals disagree and this bill passes then we invite them to take up their arguement with the Supreme Court. as for in this Parliament, we see no point continuing to argue this point. |
| Date | 18:47:30, August 15, 2008 CET | From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the Nonaligned Embassy Act |
| Message | The bans were passed by Parliament. We imposed trade embargos and closed down their embassies. No matter what the laws are, those embassies won't be reopened unless Parliament approves so in an INDIVIDUAL case by case basis. If you have a problem with that, take it up with the Supreme Court. There is one simple reason, they murder millions of our citizens and they invaded us. Isn't that a good enough reason? Please, stop with your blind "internationalism" and come back to the real world. |
| Date | 19:09:44, August 15, 2008 CET | From | Holy Eliyahu Confession | To | Debating the Nonaligned Embassy Act |
| Message | and this law deals with all previous laws by saying that Any other country may establish an embassy on national soil. once this bill passes, we can argue over who's right. until then its a matter of no concern to the Christian Democrats, who have faith in the validity of their interpretation. Blind hate is the only reason this parliament agreed to suspend diplomatic relations with these countries in the first place. We cannot change the past, but we are fools if we let past tragedies dictate future blunders. |
| Date | 19:37:36, August 15, 2008 CET | From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the Nonaligned Embassy Act |
| Message | They were not tragedies, they were attacks. Our predecesors would be very sad to see our country fall so low after the massacres that occured in our country. We did not act in blind hate, we acted on the facts. Please check the history books. Any other country does not mean all countries. |
