| Message | A wonderful piece of legislation! |
| Date | 19:01:15, July 15, 2010 CET | From | House Elfrink | To | Debating the bill for tory 2969 |
| Message | We will somewhat agree with the Tories on slavery, although we believe indentured servitude to House Elfrink and our Saudarkurtlar guardians towards for the worst of criminals. and why would the tories want to abolish national service? Our national conscription service is vital to our national security and pride. Even though we may disagree with some of Zog's policies, we agree with a few of them. |

| Message | Security is a construct of society.. It can be whatever you make it to be. Since Beluzia is not at war, and has no threats against her as a nation, forcing every citizen to partake in national service is both uneccessary and illogical. Those citizens could better contribute to society through labour, or the arts if it is pride you crave. |
