| Message | COMPLETELY unacceptable, I disagree totally. A1 is unacceptable because of the horrible way this weaponry is killing people and the environment. A2 Intelligence agencies (just like the real world NSA) are stupid and useless and only attack our privacy, covert operations are horrible, we can use diplomacy and para-diplomats. A3 is unresponsible because the army could disuse that, plus the people should have the say about landmines, regulated by the Govt. A4 Sorry mate, but I keep the Iceland-Greenland approach. We dont need it and in case of a case we still have a reserve group. A6 is also unacceptable, because people should have the freedom to create their own para-military that doesnt have to be a part of a political party and of course should be heavily regulated by the Govt, for security. A5 You should know that I know exactly how fission technology works (In case of Hydrogen weapons-also fussion technology), Fission is literally a nuclear process in which a neutron hits a heavy atom (e.g. Uranium)(Heavy atoms are mostly instable because of their number of neutrons in the nucleus) and then that heavy atom breakes into 2 smaller atoms, 1 to multipe free neutrons, α or β−/β+ or gamma decay. This is very dangerous. I support a Nuclear programme , but it should be solely dedicated to research and should be within international laws. We disagree and will vote against this bill. |

| Message | A military doesn't put you first in the world. It's either Science or money. |

| Message | But without a strong military, one cannot keep one's science or money. |

| Message | You are referring to the country that has universal military service for all males, and which requires them to keep their weapons at home in case of call up, right? |

| Random quote: The Wolfsheim Virus is not a real actual disease in the conventional medical sense of the term. Rather, it is a cluster of symptoms which are just part of the general socio-economic disease that is capitalism. The main symptoms the sufferers are experiencing are a direct result of capitalist poverty, as in malnutrition, poor housing and so on, combined with psycho-somatic symptoms which are a direct consequence of the contradictions and stresses which are inherent to the capitalist system. ~ Friedrich Pfeiffer, General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |
