| Message | Mr. Speaker, We, the Democratic Union of Rutania, are opposed to this bill because we think that every single person in Rutania has the same rights. It doesn't matter if he/she is a Rutanian waiter or a Dundorfian ambassador. Same rights for everyone. Kiley Donovan, Leader of the Opposition |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Unfortunately diplomatic immunity is a necessary pre-condition for good diplomatic relations. Diplomats from an enemy country, for example, must be protected from being framed for a crime and prosecuted if we wish to continue our diplomatic ties with them. The benefits of diplomatic immunity outweigh the risks. Besides, according to this bill, Rutania has the power to expel diplomats if the government does not want them here. Amelia Grander SS Leader |

| Message | Ms. Grander, You make an interesting argument. However, what will you say if a ROGUE nation MANIPULATES that "diplomatic immunity" to INTENTLY break our laws??? The SECURITY of our nation is at STAKE. --CWFP Spokesman |
