| Message | The Utilitarian Party of Solentia seeks no adversary nor confrontation. We only believe that the nation should by law be allowed to decide what it is best for it. We do not advocate for nuclear, chemical or biological warfare, but the nation must reserves its right on those issues. |
| Date | 13:26:10, May 12, 2010 CET | From | Conservative Party of Solentia | To | Debating the Bill regarding the strengthening of the Armed Forces of Solentia |

| Date | 20:04:44, May 12, 2010 CET | From | Utilitarian Party of Solentia | To | Debating the Bill regarding the strengthening of the Armed Forces of Solentia |
| Message | The Utilitarian Party of Solentia cannot agree with articles 1 and 3 from bill SR 004. Since we must respect the ideology or our party members, voting against bill SR 004 would be against our interests in the areas of military strengthening; therefore, we proposed a bill of our own. |
