| Message | We also support it. |
| Date | not recorded | From | Social Calvinist Unionist Party | To | Debating the Nuclear Disarmament Act |
| Message | We, whole-heartedly, oppose this bill. Nuclear weapons are vital for our defensive capabilities. If some nuclear power decides to attack us and we only have conventional weapons, do you know what will happen? We will be nuked into the ground. We believe that we should have nuclear weapons as a deturrent, so that we can avoid wars with our "big stick". |

| Message | or perhaps we could actually promote peace. wow, what a concept. if other countries see us putting down our guns, they will be a little less reluctant to set down theirs. what do you think their reaction to us getting more nukes will be? that's right, they will get up tight and defensive, and all our hopes of a peaceful and prosperous relationship are gone. If this goes to a vote, i will most wholeheartedly support it. |

| Message | (OOC: You took whole-heartedly from me. I should get that copyrighted ^^) Do you think that the militaristic nations of the world will sit there and go "Hmmm, a weak and vulnerable country has just given up it's last weapon that scared us. Seeing how they are weak and pitiful now, let's invade!" Many real nations(United States, China, Great Britain, India) have prosperous and peaceful relations with most of the world. Why can we not be like them, and use our nukes only as a deturrent? We wouldn't need many, even 1 would be enough. |

| Message | last time i checked, US was at war (not peaceful) and there were recent boycotts of European goods (not prosperous). also, India is extremely tense with Pakistan right now, so they aren't exactly the best example either. |

| Message | The Party is against this bill, for much the same reasons as the Islamic Party, as it'll reduce our potential defensive capabilities and make us vulnerable towards threats and intimidation from nations armed with such weaponry. |

| Message | Last time I checked, our war was with terrorists and guerillas and was still the richest country in the world. Also, India has problems with ONE country(maybe a few more, but not many.) That's still pretty good. (Oh, and BTW, I lived in Bangladesh, Pakistan, and have visited India. So i know.) |

| Message | Alan Sharkey: It all depends on the current world state. Since we have no current data on foreign relations, I think it is best to err on the side of caution and reserve the right to maintain a nuclear arsenal. This does not mean that we *have* a nuclear arsenal at the moment, remember. It means we have the ability to create one if we deem it necessary. |
| Date | not recorded | From | Social Calvinist Unionist Party | To | Debating the Nuclear Disarmament Act |
| Message | Exactly. We do not even HAVE nuclear weapons. All this does is say, "If we need to, we can make nukes to defend ourselves." |
| Date | not recorded | From | Seosavists Republican party | To | Debating the Nuclear Disarmament Act |
| Message | We support this bill fully, we see no need to be able to make large areas of our world uninhabitable for many many years. |
