| Message | OOC:Reddy, this bill sounds like you want to bring Pacific Ocean to Dranland not Pacifism. 😄 |
| Date | 14:28:39, April 20, 2013 CET | From | Grand National Party | To | Debating the Pacific Dranland Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, judging by this bill, the SJP is a greater threat to national security than all potential foreign enemies combined, by trying to unilaterally disarm our troops and stripping them of their greatest assets. The sane forces in this assembly should not allow this dreadful, unpatriotic, deeply irresponsible bill to pass! Alistair Sullivan MP Member for Magadonia RFR Defence Spokesman |
| Date | 16:30:08, April 20, 2013 CET | From | Dranish Conservative Party | To | Debating the Pacific Dranland Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, the Dranish government is committed to maintaining the peace across Terra. We do not want armed conflicts because they cause immense harm to innocent people and usually do not accomplish much. However, in order to make war less likely, it is necessary to deter potential aggressors by having the means at our disposal to defend ourselves. For this reason, I regard this Bill as unrealistic in its objectives. In fact, by making us seem a soft target, it could even make war more than less likely - which I am sure is precisely the opposite of what Sam Bowen actually wants. Timothy Breckinridge MP Minister of Defence |

| Message | Mr Speaker, Although the PP strongly supports de-militarisation in Dranland and Terra, we cannot support article 2, which would prevent us assisting democracy movements across terra. John Marshall MP PP Leader |
