| Message | i am not going to support this. This restricts Lodamun's ability to deter possible aggressors, if we have these weapons and appear that we have no problem using them, they can act as a defensive weapon, allowing Lodamun to maintain a small standing army in the process. |
| Date | 00:49:24, May 27, 2006 CET | From | Lodamun Values Party | To | Debating the Biological, Chemical and Nuclear Weapons Bill |
| Message | Does the ends justify the means? Are you happy holding a gun to all of our citizens heads? By holding nuclear weapons we are declaring that we find their use acceptable. If you follow the policy that we appear to have no problem using them you will face a dilemma when their use is required |

| Random quote: "A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks." - Thomas Jefferson |
