No. I actually am having trouble with the con side. I think the resolution is too biased towards the pro...

Did you seriously just ask people to post their cases, so you don't have to do any work?

Can someone post some contentions for this NCFL social services topic?
I am pretty stumped on what to do for the con side...

Also, can someone explain exactly what "indigenous peoples" refers too? Like is it only the United States or other nations or etc?

I am writing to let you know about a fabulous opportunity for you this summer……

The Global Young Leaders Program is a two-week session led by world champion debate instructors at the King’s School in Canterbury, England with additional instruction at Oxford and Cambridge. Students from all over the world come to improve their debating skills and develop a more global perspective on debate topics.

Public Forum, Extemporaneous Speaking, and Lincoln-Douglas students will benefit greatly from this program, which uses a British Parliamentary debate format to teach general debate skills to students age 14 through 18. For more advanced debaters, there is plenty of opportunity for one-on-one instruction time with mentors.

In addition to receiving instruction in debate, participants in the program will experience the London theater and other British cultural attractions, chaperoned by the program staff. The program staff is led by Sam Block, the World Universities Championships top speaker in 2008, and mentors who have been in late outrounds in national and international high school and university debating competitions.

The Global Young Leaders Program is accredited by the British Council, the United Kingdom’s ministry for educational development, and the English Speaking Union, the international charity specializing in global understanding through use of English language.

If you have any questions about this unique program, please feel free to call me at 919-360-9113 or email me at swest @ mail.colgate.edu. For even more information on the program or to reserve your slot, please email Tony Binns at binnsaj @ dulwich.org.uk.

Thank you, and please feel free to share this email with interested students and other coaches.

Fundamentalism harmful to society? Hardly a topic I could see the Public Forum God arguing.

PublicForumGod on "topic idea"

PublicForumGod — Fri, 16 May 2008 22:49:31 +0000

I'd like to see a religious topic. Bad.

Resolved: Fundamentalism is harmful to society.

or...

Resolved: That the USG should take [possible adjective such as diplomatic/military?] action to mitigate the genocide in Myanmar/Darfur/Bosnia.

No, make fun of me, just stop doing it in a blasphemous way. The whole Jesus/Allah swt stuff is not funny - thats making fun of Jesus/Allah swt.

And if thats all JM and Marx have, its hardly making fun.

NOTE: "Allah" (swt) is supposed to have an --> swt <-- after it. Saying Allah swt without that or pbuh or is insulting.

swt and pbuh both are derivatives of the phrase, Peace Be Upon Him. swt replaces peace with Glory (I think).

Asgard is one of the nine realms in Norse mythology and the one on which the deities(to include Odin) reside.

The pub in Cambridge is pretty good too.

"The Asgard School of PFD?" Odin, what are you talking about? The only "Asgard" I know of is a pub in Boston near MIT that my debate partner and I frequent at the Harvard debate tournament.

All of you should be ashamed! Mocking a poor boy for his name. PublicForumGod (Christian Chessman) is just starving for attention. Leave PFG (Christian Chessman) alone! I am not saying you should bother him at tournaments, or on social networking groups, by looking up his name (Christian Chessman)and mocking him. That would be rude and hurtful to PFG (Christian Chessman).

Greetings fellow gods, I just finished stabbing my giant spear into the mongol race of poor-PFdebaintg Frost-giants that waged war on the halls of Valhalla.

I shouldn't have to point out to you that Paul is not God.

@Marx::

Oh. You should learn to spell.

This is the word (copied and pasted) from your post

Nothing.

Watch out for lightning strikes. G-d doesn't take well to blasphemy. (Not me, the real one).

Now c'mon. The whole PFJesus thing is ridiculous. Lets not take a lame joke (my name) any farther.

True. And if we're talking about Keyser Söze, then you're a deity unto yourself.

There is no time to relax. You must clear yourself of Thetans. They can only hinder your flow.

C'mon in. Take your shoes off. Relax. No mortals allowed.
