| Message | We feel betrayed by the Union Party. The draft is the ultimate construct of the authoritarian state that gives no respect to the individual person and his rights. Any party that votes for this bill will find themselves in an unforgivable position in the eyes of the MAU, and all freedom loving human beings in the world. |
| Date | 02:55:01, November 01, 2008 CET | From | Union Party | To | Debating the National Service Act |
| Message | We disagree. The ultimate denial of rights to the individual person and their rights is abortion, for it denies humans the most basic right of all. We have long felt betrayed by the MAU in that regard. |
| Date | 03:35:14, November 01, 2008 CET | From | Ocean Submarine League of Progress | To | Debating the National Service Act |
| Message | This act is abhorrent. We are in absolute agreement with the statements made by the MAU and are ashamed that the UP would propose such a measure. |
| Date | 12:46:36, November 01, 2008 CET | From | Federal Republican Party (UCF) | To | Debating the National Service Act |
| Message | While we agree that abortion is a more serious denial of rights than the draft, both are not acceptable to the FRP. Consrcipts do not form an efficient army, better to leave fighting to the real soldiers. |
| Date | 17:18:07, November 01, 2008 CET | From | Union Party | To | Debating the National Service Act |
| Message | In a time of war, they can be seperated into the regular army, and the army of Mordusia. If we are invaded, we will need all the men we can get, though lower in rank than regulars. |
| Date | 17:49:04, November 01, 2008 CET | From | Ocean Submarine League of Progress | To | Debating the National Service Act |
| Message | Awesome, so we force people to do something against their wills, and then we segregate them! That\'s rational. |
