From |  Libertarian Party of Valruzia | To | Debating the Front Line Bill | | Message | Of course not. Maybe a little sexist, but not racist. But why should we be happy about foreign characters which we can't read? EH? |

From | Radical League | To | Debating the Front Line Bill | | Message | Weaken our forces? Surely the men who replace them will strengthen the forces? |

From |  Liberal Democrats | To | Debating the Front Line Bill | | Message | The question is, are there men to replace them? We're not one of the most populated countries in the world, ya know. And we also need a decently sized normal workforce. |

From | Libertarian Party of Valruzia | To | Debating the Front Line Bill | | Message | Valruzia isn't really a military nation, though the LPV does advocate a strong defense we don't necessarily see the need to be over-militaristic. So having women in the military is fine even if the men are stronger. |

From | Radical League | To | Debating the Front Line Bill | | Message | Its been proved time and time again that women are not of the right quality to perform as front line troops. We feel that we have unnecissarily weakened our armed forces, all in the name of equality and political correctness, where one daren't mention that the sexes are better suited for different types of work. |

From | Radical League | To | Debating the Front Line Bill | | Message | LibDems: We would use the process of natural wastage to remove women from the frontline. Its not as if there are a great number of women serving in front line units currently, it shouldn't take much effort. As to your second point, we doubt the admissionof a few thousand extra men into front line services should damage the economy, we do have unemployment you know. |

From | Alliance for Natural Law | To | Debating the Front Line Bill | | Message | From a biological standpoint this makes sense.
Women are more neccssary to men to the survival of a species. |
