| Message | You're crazy. A reduction of nuclear weaponry gives our opponents an advantage over us, knowing that we can never respond to any of their actions with terrible nuclear force. It keeps our enemies in check and it keeps us safe. |

| Message | It's all rather unfortunate but I find myself looking toward the logic of L.B.S.C. in that, whilst it would be better not to have such weaponry, it may be impossible to avoid it. We would certainly put ourselves on the back foot and we would have little presence in international affairs if we decided to go with this bill. I am aware that it is all quite difficult to fathom and there seems neither a right nor wrong answer but we must play, for the sake of being safe, by the rules of engagement. |

| Message | To the LBSC. Opponents? If we are seen as less of a threat to our so called opponents by promoting such things as anti-nuclear warfare, we are going to be seen in a better light. Nuclear war is one of the most disgusting things that could ever take place, and for these people to know that you are supporting such a thing, it makes us sick. Whilst it is understandable that nuclear weaponry could be held here as a protective measure, perhaps you should be setting an example to other nations by ending this nuclear program. |

| Message | No way, there will always be crazies like Deltaria in this world and they need toknow that if they attack us, we will attack back. |

| Message | We won't be seen in a "better light" as you may call it. We'll be seen as possible targets to their attacks of aggression. And you fail to see the irony behind having nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons PREVENT nuclear warfare, due to the mutual knowledge of both nations involved that the use of nuclear weapons would destroy both nations indefinatly, and possibly the entire world. |

| Message | The LBSC raises a good point. Such an act should not be implemented until all nations of the world have disarmed their own nuclear stockpiles. For now, though, we will have to maintain a nuclear arsenal to prevent other nations from considering a nuclear attack on Darnussia through something called Mutually Assured Destruction (M.A.D.). Besides, nuclear weapons can make great bargaining chips to be frank as evidenced in the Cuban Missile Crisis by John F. Kennedy placing nuclear weapons in Turkey to cause the Soviet Union to retract their own weapons from Cuba. I will contact Madam President though with the proposal of bringing up the topic of worldwide nuclear disarmament to other world leaders. |

| Message | Thank you PDA, if atleast there could be some action taken towards nuclear disarmament, that would be satisfactory. Somebody needs to get the ball rolling. |
| Date | 21:46:28, March 19, 2006 CET | From | Socialist Party of Darnussia | To | Debating the Nuclear Bill |
| Message | Sadly, we cannot yet permanently destroy all of our nation's nucler weapons. An international treaty might be a solution to the nuclear probelm. |
