| Message | Mr. Speaker, While the idea of limiting His Imperial and Most Excellent Majesty's use of chemical and biological weapons is meant to be good intentioned, the fact is that biological and chemical weapons are a deterrent to war mongering nations. In fact, biological and chemical weapons keep the peace. Besides, the military should handle all military matters. We, the members of the Holy Imperial Diet, do not know enough about military matters to make these types of decisions. So, we must vote "no" on this bill. We yield. |
| Date | 21:19:41, April 05, 2010 CET | From | Liberal Conservative Party (ACN&IA) | To | Debating the Chemical and Biological Weapons Restrictions Bill |
| Message | Mr Speaker, Chemical and biological weapons is in many ways more frightening than nuclear weapons. The military should not be able to attack civilians with these types of weapons uncontrollably, unless it is a retribution of an attack on our soil. I yield. |
| Date | 21:31:40, April 05, 2010 CET | From | Imperial Monarchist Party | To | Debating the Chemical and Biological Weapons Restrictions Bill |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, It should not be up to the Diet to decide what the military can and cannot do. If you wish to restrict chemical and biological weapons, then restrict nuclear weapons as well. All three are equally deadly. We yield. |
| Date | 21:37:28, April 05, 2010 CET | From | Liberal Conservative Party (ACN&IA) | To | Debating the Chemical and Biological Weapons Restrictions Bill |
| Message | Mr Speaker, As we are a part of the League of nuclear nations, it is hard to ban nuclear weapons, and I think keeping nuclear weapons is a good tactic for keeping enemies away. And the Diet should absolutely restrict military powers to prevent the abuse of it. I yield. |
| Date | 23:21:54, April 05, 2010 CET | From | Democratic Progressive Alliance (IA) | To | Debating the Chemical and Biological Weapons Restrictions Bill |
| Message | Mr Speaker, These types of weapons have potentially dangerous consequences that could affect Luthori as well. Consider the accidental spreading of a global pandemic due to misuse of biological weapons for example. I yield |
| Date | 00:30:29, April 06, 2010 CET | From | Imperial Monarchist Party | To | Debating the Chemical and Biological Weapons Restrictions Bill |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, If nuclear weapons are good tactics for keeping enemies away, then chemical and biological weapons are even more so according to how you feel about them. Ah, so the Diet should regulate everything and anything it pleases without even having an expertise in the matter as long as the Constitution allows it? My point is that this Diet does not know enough about military affairs to ban these weapons. It would be foolish to think that we are experts in military matters. Yes, and consider the accidental spreading of nuclear radiation. Ban them all or none at all! We yield. |
| Date | 01:54:33, April 06, 2010 CET | From | Liberal Conservative Party (ACN&IA) | To | Debating the Chemical and Biological Weapons Restrictions Bill |
| Message | Mr Speaker, Nuclear weapons have a much higher accuracy in respect of damage spreading. Biological weapons have the potential to start a pandemic. I am opposed to nuclear weapons too, but as previously stated, we are a part of the League of Nuclear Nations and we are therefore unable to change the law regarding nuclear weapons. Diplomatically, it would not be wise to leave the league, either. I yield |
| Date | 03:39:07, April 06, 2010 CET | From | Imperial Monarchist Party | To | Debating the Chemical and Biological Weapons Restrictions Bill |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, Do you know how long radiation lingers in an area? Did you know that a strong enough wind can spread that radiation? The fact is, all three types of weapons can be as deadly as each other. All three deter war. We yield. |
| Date | 11:22:35, April 06, 2010 CET | From | Constitutionalist Imperial League (IA) | To | Debating the Chemical and Biological Weapons Restrictions Bill |
| Message | Mr Speaker, As representative of the Imperial Un-Luthorian Activities Committee as well as of the defense ministry, we must utterly condemn this proposal. With all due respect to the politicians of the Diet, they known nothing about war and about military strategy. Chemical and biological weapons are a vital element in the defense of the homeland and the IULAC will surely have to use its powers to overturn this law if it passes, for the protection of Luthori. I yield. |
| Date | 14:43:42, April 06, 2010 CET | From | Imperial Monarchist Party | To | Debating the Chemical and Biological Weapons Restrictions Bill |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, Our beliefs have been confirmed by the defense ministry. If this bill passes, just wait for the wars against the Holy Empire to begin. We yield. |
| Date | 17:11:09, April 06, 2010 CET | From | Liberal Conservative Party (ACN&IA) | To | Debating the Chemical and Biological Weapons Restrictions Bill |
| Message | Mr Speaker, IMP: Don't be naive, we are still a military superpower. We have nuclear weapons and mandatory military service, and can defend ourselves without the use of biological and chemical weapons (if the other nation does not use them). I yield. |
| Date | 22:27:14, April 06, 2010 CET | From | Imperial Monarchist Party | To | Debating the Chemical and Biological Weapons Restrictions Bill |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, I do not wish to debate in a fashion that results in the degradation of both parties. I suggest that you understand that we, as a Diet, do not know enough about military matters to be making this decision. We yield. |
