| Message | We disagree with this so much, we promise to lead a march 50,000 strong on the capital in the next month. If this gets passed, our country will be viewed as a careless, ruthless destroyer of human beings. This idea is ridiculous!! |

| Message | If we break the chemical weapons treaty...that means chemical weapons can be used against us without international repercussions. And why do we need to use nerve agents that shut down the brain painfully and napalm that burns the skin and destroys whole cities, killing millions of non-combatants? Our military is functioning perfectly without these weapons of mass destruction. |

| Message | Until that treaty gains wide spread support throughout Terra. We can not allow our citizens to live in fear that if a chemical weapon attack happens we won't strike back with the same force and weapons that hit us. |

| Message | But that will just make us as evil as our enemies. We must set an example to the world by staying in this treaty. |
| Date | 08:23:53, January 05, 2006 CET | From | Now And Zen Party | To | Debating the Time to step up the defense! |
| Message | An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. We don't want to use it, we just need to have a credible deterrent to those who would use it on us. We don't want to make Saradan a Utopia without defences, so that our enemies can merely walk in without a shot fired. |

| Message | Withdrawing from this treaty will only make other nations grab more chemical weapons and prepare them for use, for the exact same reason. It will start a chain reaction, and at the end of it all one crazy nation's leader is going to use one and the world will be incinerated. We need to stop the spread of chemical weapons now by staying in the treaty. |
| Date | 07:11:11, January 07, 2006 CET | From | Now And Zen Party | To | Debating the Time to step up the defense! |
| Message | No, incineration will take Nukes. We'll just grow another head and our appendages will drop off, but apart from that we'll be fine... Oh, of course, there's the rashes, too. Seriously, one crazy nation's leader will use chemical weapons, if he has them, ESPECIALLY if we don't have them to retaliate. |
