Message | In a perfect world the CRP would support this. However we do not live in a perfect world. These policies will only serve to weaken national security at the price of ideological purity. These bury your head in the sand policies are dangerous. With these policies in place we would be defenseless against foreign threats. There might come a day when we can pass this and assure Zardic safety. However until such a day when the world disarms on such a scale the CRP will vote no. No to a defenseless nation in a dangerous world. The world is unfortunately a dangerous and decitful place with no security. These policies will not help protect against that reality. Until the NLP acknowledges such a reality these positions are foolish at least and dangerous at worst. |

Message | We do not need to bomb cities of innocent people to dust or kill them with dangerous diseases to "protect" our selfs. We are perfectly capable without it. |
Date | 14:19:36, January 09, 2013 CET | From | The Surprise Party | To | Debating the The Great Pacifism Act |
Message | The purpose of posession of WMDs is for the deterrence of similar attacks by rogue states. It is clear that possession of WMDs by a politically and diplomatically responsible nation-state has not, and feasibly will never result in negative ramifications. This bill is proposing a complete deconstruction of the current global environment, and while yes, the Federation of Zardugal may eradicate WMDs from our own state, nation, and society it is not responsible of such an influential, powerful party of this country to suppose that the various nation-states with which we share this world will choose to follow our example, we greatly respect the ideals and political efforts of the New Liberal Party, however, we simply cannot eliminate our military capabilities, this is a dangerous world. |
Date | 15:17:49, January 09, 2013 CET | From | Nouveau Parti Libéral (ZR) | To | Debating the The Great Pacifism Act |
Message | we refuse to accept that people are naturally evil and we must protect ourselves like this. Zardugal giving up our illogical weapons that not only destory our enemies but our allies and ourselves in the act. Give one GOOD reason its alright to risk the lives of every person on terra for the "protection" of our country |
Date | 16:11:21, January 09, 2013 CET | From | The Surprise Party | To | Debating the The Great Pacifism Act |
Message | We are not risking the lives of anyone by maintaining our weapons, we are a responsible state extremely capable of supervising and utilising these weapons (for deterrence or otherwise). This government has already committed to utilising WMDs only in the event of a similar attack on our nation first. By eliminating these weapons we commit to the possible destruction of our people in the event of such an attack. Our (the surprise party's) mandate in the Federation of Zardugal is to protect Zardic people, and we shall do as such and keep our legitimacy with our citizens. |
Date | 17:27:52, January 09, 2013 CET | From | Zardio Federisma Partio | To | Debating the The Great Pacifism Act |
Message | We are hardly capable of defending ourselves when your government has slashed the military budget recklessly. Further us losing these weapons does no good for our enemies and hostile nations out there will no doubt hesitate to use them and where else go than an undefended nation like Zardugal? |
