| Message | The Surprise Party finds these actions to be unwise in light of the threat the NWO poses. We feel that all options must be on the table to defend Darnussia and her allies against the atrocities recently inflicted upon Cobura. We have no objection to Article 4, regarding the seperation of Local Police and the Military, but we cannot abide by any of the other proposed restrictions, in light of the danger our nation faces. |
| Date | 10:37:05, November 30, 2008 CET | From | Peoples Choise Union | To | Debating the SDP - Military Act |
| Message | Because of the threat of the NWO, PCU thinks that the use of chemical or nuclear arms should be possible, however not for any reason. Forbid the use of those weapons totally is not the good option however. |
