| Message | <chuckles> It's soldiers versus soldiers. In the time of war, it might be necessary to conscript 'workers' to fight for the benefit of the STATE. Heavily against this measure. |

| Message | If a child wishes to go to University to study he shouldnt have to first serve time in Military. We are not a aggressive nation and we should find enough soldiers thru the proper channels of employment rather than forcing everyone to join. |

| Message | As of now, the law states that only in times of WAR could people be conscripted, and only when their schooling is finished. I see no problem with the law as it is. |
| Date | 13:42:18, November 12, 2005 CET | From | New Daio Party | To | Debating the Anti-Conscription Bill 2139 |
| Message | I'm for manditory service, so in lieu of arguing the benefits of manditory military service, I will simply say no. A draft option should be available if desperately needed. |
| Date | 02:15:08, November 13, 2005 CET | From | People's Democratic Party | To | Debating the Anti-Conscription Bill 2139 |
| Message | The current law doesn't force people to be in the military if they are not needed. But what if another nation invades us? We need to defend it and consrciption is the only way to ensure our survivial. |
