Message | This bill is as backward thinking, as something that is very backward thinking. Compulsory military service? This is preposterous. |
Date | 10:35:49, June 28, 2015 CET | From | Free Democrat Party | To | Debating the Drastic Changes Bill |
Message | And why would the Most Esteemed Regent have us withdraw from the New Minority Languages Protectiom Treaty? Surely it is important to protect our cultural heritage? The AFD |

Message | The current treaty is obsolete and as you can see it is not recognized by any nations. We could craft our own Minority Languages treaty, in time. Ministry of Foreign Affairs Satrap Hirgaz Navan |
Date | 12:48:42, June 28, 2015 CET | From | Royal Party of Aldegar | To | Debating the Drastic Changes Bill |
Message | Please Most Enlightened Opposition, enlighten us, how safeguarding our nation's borders and bolstering our armies, is backward thinking? |
Date | 12:56:06, June 28, 2015 CET | From | Free Democrat Party | To | Debating the Drastic Changes Bill |
Message | It's not so much bolstering, as wasting a year of a young citizen's life when he could be contributing to society. Aldegar hardly needs half trained youngsters defending it. That's our view on the matter, and we will not vote for this bill if it contains Article 3. The AFD |
Date | 13:08:24, June 28, 2015 CET | From | Royal Party of Aldegar | To | Debating the Drastic Changes Bill |
