Message	We're coping and we aren't at war and spending is fine at the moment. Should we feel threatened by our neighbours that would be the time to increase funding into military research, however to increase it would not only alarm our peaceful neighbours but also take money away from those who need it most in our society.

To	Debating the Increase Military Research Funding
Message	Why should we increase a miltary budget when we are: a) not at war, and unlikely to be at war in the near future. b) possibly entering into a non-agression pact.

Message	Monies given to the military under this bill would only be used for research purposes. If we can modernize our military, and research new military technologies, we can keep our current military updated - and possibly even downsize it while keeping it the same fighting level.

Message	I think ths would be a bit provokative at a time when we are entering into peace talks with Rutania.

Message	Cancel that - we need to be protected. This is acceptable.

To	Debating the Increase Military Research Funding
Message	We do not feel that military posturing would be reflective of the pacifist nature of the Beluzian people. At the same time we see reason in a bill that would make our military 'smarter', and I would invite the Free Beluzians to make their proposal a little more specific with regards to goals, aims, etc.

From	Beluzian Labor Party
To	Debating the Increase Military Research Funding
Message	Labor supports Lifting the Standard of Beluzia's defence forces, but is hesitant about increasing spending without any specific goals or objectives. We believe some specifics should be added to the bill.

Message	We also believe that the FBP should add more specifics to this bill. As it stands it is too ambiguous. (Not the actual word I want but it'll do)

From	Social-Liberal Party
To	Debating the Increase Military Research Funding
Message	As no specifics have been added, contrary to the request of this House, we shall be voting NAY.

Message	The SLP had a very good point, however bills like this get your neighbours talking and thats always a good thing :-)

Date	11:10:57, July 19, 2005 CET
From	Free Beluzians
To	Debating the Increase Military Research Funding
Message	The FBP cannot think of any specifics - we are not research institutions, and aside from space and naval technologies, we do not know what is cutting edge, outdated, or fictional military technology. This bill just allocates more funding towards military research institutes and may not even have any results for combat technology as far as we understand it.

From	Social-Liberal Party
To	Debating the Increase Military Research Funding
Message	I am dissapointed by the refusal of Free Beluzians to add anything to their bill, just extrapolating upon what they want, despite the request by three members of this house to do this. We will be sure to remember this when we get in power. This bill is vague and unstructured, and it will be a shame to see it pass into law. It will not make the Beluzian defence more effective.

Message	I think it is unfair to say it "will not" make Beluzian defences better; rather that it 'might not'.

From	Neo-Marxist revolutionary Party
To	Debating the Increase Military Research Funding
Message	Actually this bill affects nothing there is no proposal. Thusly no effect. However even on an rp theme it will affect nothing since no real legislation. The state "this body" I would ask which body in question. This government? This House? The FBP? A certain ministry? What body? It states that various Research and Development programmes.... please specify?

Message	Too late to specify now. They put it up to vote.

Message	OOC: Sorry for the ambigious termenology there, I had been writing legislation for Nationstates UN >.< Should this bill be passed, I'll propose a second bill on the subject to further define the nature of this bill.
