| 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 |
