| Date | 23:46:04, August 26, 2008 CET | From | Rutanian Democratic Forum | To | Debating the Military Service Act |
| Message | Again, Humanist Alliance, let us hear your solution when we are going to be attacked from our southern neighbours. This is clearly endangerment of national security, therefore also civil liberties (because people cannot be free if their country is in danger). If HA continues not to support this proposal, and if it gives no explanation and no their solution for this war situation, then we will ask Mr Chancellor General Heffernan for resignation, and Mr President Klinkerhoffen for arbitration until formation of new government, which will protect national security. |

| Message | If people fear our neighbours i trust them to decide on whether or not they wish to participate in the military. Furthurmore, we have already suggested peace talks before we rush into a police state type situation. |

| Date | 19:47:05, August 27, 2008 CET | From | Kazari Militarist Movement | To | Debating the Military Service Act |
