| Message | You know what they say about men who like big guns. That's right. Their male reproductive organs are very small. The FFYRTP votes NO. |

| Message | Way to get the military (who are also the police, btw) to endorse you. Watch your back ; ) |
| Date | 02:08:54, March 31, 2006 CET | From |  Pnték Znkak Prta 'Bastardry' | To | Debating the Guns. |
| Message | The FFYRTP's objections are based on hearsay and playground childishness. We advise them against making decisions based on poor bases. We need to defend our peninsula. |
| Date | 02:13:02, March 31, 2006 CET | From | Fight For Your Right To Party | To | Debating the Guns. |
| Message | Our objections are based on hard science. We believe that we can defend our "peninsula" with diplomacy, not by waving nukes around to draw attention to its vulnerability... |

| Message | Dead people can't belittle our peninsula. |

| Message | So what you are basically saying is "if people mock the size of our, er, 'peninsulae', we shall nuke them". Lovely. |
| Date | 21:12:44, March 31, 2006 CET | From | Pnték Znkak Prta 'Bastardry' | To | Debating the Guns. |
| Message | We cannot allow other countries to attack our peninsula and not defend it, regardless of whether they ridicule it's capabilities or not. |
| Date | 00:25:41, April 02, 2006 CET | From | Pnték Znkak Prta 'Bastardry' | To | Debating the Guns. |
| Message | Seeing as the Phalanx practically stole our idea from under our noses, made it more radical and then added spurious segregation to it ( :P ), the Bastards put our earlier more moderate proposal to vote. |
| Date | 16:52:22, April 02, 2006 CET | From | Pnték Prsakij Prta (Phalangists) | To | Debating the Guns. |
| Message | apologies. |

| Message | No worries, the world's not going to end over it. : ) |
