Description[?]:
| Under the inspired leadership of Absolom ben Adamah, the PSS proposes the following necessary changes for Likatonian future. 1&2 What use developing chemical weapon technology if it is never going to be used for defence of the people who created it? This is the equivalent to telling a burgular "I have dog food, a kennel and water bowl. If you break in, I'm going to get a guard dog". We favour employing this technology now - if we don't, what are we planning to do with it? Sell it to our enemies ? Or worse still, stolen by spies ? 3 Nationality - the preservation of the core population that has given rise to our civilisation must be respected. 4. We beleive that in these uncertain times, and in order for 'culturally cohesive' society to exist, the privelidge of becoming a citizen of this great country be restricted to those who bring a set of values and morals to the country that co-exist with those that have made this country great. 5. Other nations will not baulk at the chance to subjugate this rich country. We have to show we would never be bullied. If we can show that we are not afraid to retaliate no matter how an initial attack is launched on us, we will never be intimidated. |

| Message | Articles 1 and 5 we fully support, article 2 we are uncertain about as it may be going a bit too far, but 3 and 4 are too restrictive for us to support without overwhelming evidecne of the necessity. At this point, we are leaning to the no side on this bill, but will listen to counter agruements. |
| Date | 15:46:28, December 22, 2005 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Likatonia National Renewal Bill |
| Message | The AAS must oppose this attempt to rearm our nation, and these tight restrictions on our good Likatonian citizens. |
| Date | 17:23:46, December 22, 2005 CET | From | Progressive Party | To | Debating the Likatonia National Renewal Bill |
| Message | We object to Articles 3 and 4, but we can support the rest of this bill. |
| Date | 08:30:42, December 23, 2005 CET | From | Likaton Fascist Front | To | Debating the Likatonia National Renewal Bill |

| Date | 08:40:13, December 23, 2005 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Likatonia National Renewal Bill |

| Date | 08:42:54, December 23, 2005 CET | From | Likaton Fascist Front | To | Debating the Likatonia National Renewal Bill |

| Message | The AAS fought long and hard to see our sweeping majestic countryside stipped bare of death-dealing machineries of destruction. Now, the good people of Likatonia can hike in the hills, or walk in the valleys, without fear of accidentally happening across a missile silo, chemical vat, or biological contaminant laboratory. The AAS is not rushing, open-arms, towards a situation where our sovereign nation becomes a potential chain-reaction hazard. |

| Message | Best they trip over Likatonian missile silos, chemical vats or biological contaminant laboratories than those of some occupying power. We have seen the bloody carnage in Lodomun, may we never see it here. |
