| Message | While we agree with two parts of this bill, we are wary with the use of land mines. These are dangerous weapons, are we sure it would be wise to use them? |
| Date | 02:57:18, February 23, 2012 CET | From | Positive Progression Party | To | Debating the Legislation for an Effective Military I |
| Message | Are not all weapons dangerous? |
| Date | 03:03:36, February 23, 2012 CET | From | Agudat National Party | To | Debating the Legislation for an Effective Military I |
| Message | Land mines are all but forgotten after a war, these weapons are dangerous to the general public and should not be used in warfare. |
| Date | 03:07:59, February 23, 2012 CET | From | Positive Progression Party | To | Debating the Legislation for an Effective Military I |
| Message | Every weapon is dangerous to the general public. When two objects collide, collateral damage is bound to happen. Mines are to be used in a careful way, but they are also to be used so our enemies do not prosper because of our rotting nation. If our enemies use mines but we don't, they have the advantage. If we use mines but they don't, we have the advantage. Mines will be beneficial to us in war. We need to use them if we want to promote an effective military. |
