| Message | So? That is no excuse or reason for us to sell weapons at all! We must not allow ourselves to be lured by such acts! We would be responsible for the killing of many with the weapons we would produce! We must strive for peace, anywhere! We must be exemplary for all that is good and peaceful and not produce weapons to undermine exactly that principle! |

| Message | We would not be responsible. Incase you hadn't noticed people will die if we sell weapons or not, why should we make a large number of people jobless. |

| Message | WHAT!? You are saying you do NOT want killers and murderers without a killing job!? You want death! You are responsible by producing weapons, because those weapons will be used for the purpose of killing. And you will have provided that element for murder and death! You are actually producing death with these machinery! You are proposing us to increase murder rates all over the world! |
