Message | Peace through strength. Would you rather our enemies would overrun us, decimate our population, and destroy our way of living, rather than threaten them with the use of a nuclear weapon? I would contend that many who do not support this bill favour our enemies over the Aldegarian people. |

Message | When there is strength there will never be peace, as one nation will always try to be stronger than others. I.e. strength is a variable and unlimited. Peace can only be achieved by complete 'abstinence from weapons' (or using terms the right would understand, weakness), as it is an absolute end. |

Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
