| Message | Mr. Speaker. Now is not the time for us too give up our chemical weapons. We wont allow Lodamuns Defence capabilities to become weakened. Gregory Corazona Foreign Minister |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We are not proposing here to give up our chemical weapons, only to adopt a policy of never using them unless they are used against us first. This is, we feel, a more civilised and responsible position to hold. Sergio Arechavaleta Foreign Affairs spokesman |
| Date | 06:57:03, September 15, 2014 CET | From |  Great National Republican Guard | To | Debating the Biological Weapons Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, Why should we allow our own citizens, except Hosians, to become victims before we act? Why can't we prevent them from becoming victims in the first place? After our citizens have been killed with chemical weapons used by foreign enemies, our own use of chemical weapons won't bring them back to life. We might as well use it to poison the Hosian mothers from giving birth to the people who will grow up to kill our citizens in the future. -- Gordon Fertig, Chairman of the GNRG |

| Message | Mr. Speaker. For specific reasons Mr. Fertig has mentioned unfortunately. We wont be supporting this bill. We must have right to strike our enemy where it hurts most. Under conditions of war obviously. Gerard Lieberman LDP Defence Spokesman |
| Date | 13:54:02, September 15, 2014 CET | From | Conservative Monarchist Alliance | To | Debating the Biological Weapons Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, We find Gordon Fertig's remarks as terrifying as they are disgusting and wrong. It is precisely because of attitudes like this that it is imperative for the moderate forces in Terra to work together to counteract violence and oppression. Sergio Arechavaleta Foreign Affairs spokesman |

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
| Random quote: "In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a cheque. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." - Martin Luther King Jr. |
