Message | I fully agree with article 1 but not so much with article 2 as I think a national program is better than leaving it up to the local authorities. |
Date | 15:46:02, August 04, 2006 CET | From | People's Populist Party - Zogist Mafia | To | Debating the Civil Defense Reform |
Message | No way on both. First of all chemical warfare is safer than ever, what better fate could an enemy combatant recieve than to drift off to sleep with the Peoples Patented Sleepy-time gas? Second only traitors try to reduce Beluzia's border defenses. |
Date | 03:33:40, August 05, 2006 CET | From | Feline Defense Front | To | Debating the Civil Defense Reform |
Message | This has nothing to do with border defense, rather the construction by the federal government in each and every building. Unless you're planning a nuclear attack without the rest of us knowing this is an unnecessary government expenditure. As too the Chemical Weapons I think we can agree to disagree. They are inherently immoral and a threat to the future of both the community and world at large. |

Message | Everybody knows war with Rutania is imminent! And it doesn't end with knock-out gas, we also have amazing breakthru's in traitor redemption technology! Simply strap the re-education helmet on, and your a loyal Beluzian in no time! |
Date | 13:39:16, August 05, 2006 CET | From | Feline Defense Front | To | Debating the Civil Defense Reform |
Message | War is and should be the final step in diplomacy, not a substitute for it. |
Date | 13:47:52, August 05, 2006 CET | From | People's Populist Party - Zogist Mafia | To | Debating the Civil Defense Reform |
Message | Diplomacy is not the opposite of war, trade is. I say we declare war on the diplomats, and let the People get back to work doing what they do best... exporting "botanicals" throughout terra! |
Date | 14:02:59, August 05, 2006 CET | From | Feline Defense Front | To | Debating the Civil Defense Reform |
Message | Didn't say it was the opposite, just the final step. And what kind of "botanicals" might you be referring to?? |
Date | 14:13:35, August 05, 2006 CET | From | People's Populist Party - Zogist Mafia | To | Debating the Civil Defense Reform |
Message | Traditional spiritual Remedies produced by the Headhunting savages of Outermost bailon! Just ask Shuar Logrono, Beluzia's Minister of Environment and Tourism, and chief of Beluzia's bloodthirstiest headhunting tribe! |
