| Message | sorry to rush this, but elections are coming, and i'm not on that often, so i have to. like it'll pass anyway. |
| Date | 06:44:32, July 12, 2006 CET | From | Almighty Lodamunian Front (ALF) | To | Debating the National Defence Act |
| Message | a military threat does not justify some of the things which are included in this bill, if we oppress our own people, then we would be no better than those who threaten us. We must uphold internation human rights. I would support the top article, and depending on who is on at what times, there is a likelyhood that might get past. the other articles are too extreme. |
| Date | 09:03:15, July 12, 2006 CET | From | Black People's Party | To | Debating the National Defence Act |
| Message | The police are not the last defense of the good people of our nation, the people are. The police is the last defense of an oppressive capitalist state. Torture doesn't make us better than any oppressor. And nobody is illegal except in an capitalist state. We WILL resolve this peacefully and that by getting our whole continent involved with this threat. We should also talk to the Likatonian government officials, so they can better understand there will be consequences in taking over foreign land. |

| Message | this will not pass before the election. I suggest the white people's party split some of these ideas up, i might vote for one or two of them individually. |
| Date | 10:41:24, July 14, 2006 CET | From | Gnazenal Phr'unt | To | Debating the National Defence Act |
| Message | This will pass before the next election, the next election is two years away. The BPP should be compelled to keep quiet, some of their outbursts are quite embarressing. BPP, you keep mentioning we should talk to Likatonia, well, why don't you do that, rather than keep talking about it here. |
