| Date | 18:51:16, October 23, 2005 CET | From | United Socialist Front | To | Debating the Ratification of the WMD Limitation Treaty |
| Message | I'd rather not let this pass... Did you read the articles? It's the sort of thing that ould lead to Armageddon: One nation uses a WMD then another, then another and then we're all left under rubbling and dead. I'd rather ban these weapons alltogether, not loosen the laws of their use... |
| Date | 22:15:10, October 23, 2005 CET | From | Aldurian Libertarian Socialist Party | To | Debating the Ratification of the WMD Limitation Treaty |
| Message | The spirit of the treaty is to limit their use, not to force nation to 'use them only when another nation use them first'. |
| Date | 00:44:50, October 25, 2005 CET | From | United Socialist Front | To | Debating the Ratification of the WMD Limitation Treaty |
| Message | Don't regard the spirit, look at the articles: As it is, we do not use WMDs at all The article changes this to our using them in the case of an other's use. We stick to our "no" |
| Date | 00:40:53, October 26, 2005 CET | From | Aldurian Communist Party | To | Debating the Ratification of the WMD Limitation Treaty |
| Message | This treaty does not change our laws at all. It mearly indicates that other nations whose laws allow the use of second-strike WMDs are still allowed to sign the treaty. |
