| Date | 23:32:01, May 16, 2010 CET | From | Rerum Novarum Party | To | Debating the Service Act |
| Message | Then they can either request a service job in a specific field. Why are they in a country they don't love anyways? |

| Message | Maybe because they were born there ... And besides, loving you're country and always support the actions of its goverment are two different things, I know thats hard for a fascist to understand ... |

| Message | What if a person disagrees with the current millitary regime the nation is engaging in? I guess you're would be that the government knows better whether or not a military regime is good or not, and therefore the opinion of anyone who doesn't want to serve in this regime should be ignored, they should just be forced to serve. |

| Message | If they don't want to serve in times to protect their hometowns, they must not care for their hometowns. If that is the case, they can move elsewhere; we are not preventing them as such. |
| Date | 12:07:03, May 17, 2010 CET | From | Libertarian Party of Darnussia | To | Debating the Service Act |
| Message | Who says the current regime the government is engaging in does absolutely anything to help protect their hometown? |
| Date | 14:58:46, May 17, 2010 CET | From | Rerum Novarum Party | To | Debating the Service Act |
| Message | With bases constructed throughout the nation, and a non-interventionist policy, the current 'regime' has it set about in the best format in years for every hometown to be protected. |
| Date | 21:08:36, May 17, 2010 CET | From | Libertarian Party of Darnussia | To | Debating the Service Act |
| Message | The thing is, that non-interventionist policy could change at any moment. And besides, people should not be forced to protect anything. The government does not have a right to the nation's land, because it does not own the property that makes up the nation, the people do. |

Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
