Date | 20:45:11, January 22, 2010 CET | From | Beluzian National Party | To | Debating the Military Reform Act 2882 |
Message | Defence is something that should be taken seriously. We support a safe, secure Beluzia, and we feel that the Defence sector should be state owned, to ensure that it is working to its full capacity for our military. |
Date | 20:48:01, January 22, 2010 CET | From | Constitutional Monarchy Party | To | Debating the Military Reform Act 2882 |
Message | State owned operations are sloppy and poorly managed. Private companies will be more efficient, and able to improve quality of weapons through competition. |
Date | 12:40:50, January 23, 2010 CET | From | United Sizpoao Comrade RevolutionRedArmy | To | Debating the Military Reform Act 2882 |
Message | I dont like all articles because private should not own the defence business, and all arms should be kept properly instead of giving to other people. we dont need war prisoner too. OOC: i dont like any gays culture in real life but i dont hate them personally :D |

Message | Only corrupt governments completely own their defence industries... Why would anyone be against a more efficient military? And by selling surplus weapons to our allies, we are actually making ourselves stronger. OOC: I have no issues with homosexuality, I have a lot of gay friends... |
Date | 18:34:27, January 23, 2010 CET | From | Beluzian National Party | To | Debating the Military Reform Act 2882 |

Message | The People dislike big ugly gay guys in a prison setting. Slender effeminate nancy-boys might be useful in some circumstances ;) |

Message | Battle-axe butch lesbians w dildos are similarly inappropriate. Ultra-hot teen girls "experimenting" w their tongues is a vital pillar of Beluzian culture however... |

Message | *The People infer that lack of rebuttal constitutes a rousing endorsement on this matter* Hear, Hear!!! |
