Debate #1

Lets just start by summarising everything I'm gonna say in this post:
WE WON
Good. Done. If you're looking for a quick update, there it is.
Moving on.
We got there early, the guys we were against (King Khaled/Australian International Academy) were late.
The debate's topic was
That Australia should aim for zero population growth.
We were Affirmative.
Irene got up, spoke really, really well (especially considering it was her first time) and generally kicked the collective asses of the Negative team.
Then they started. My interest level went down like a Led Zeppelin.
I got up, spoke (very well ;)) pwned all their points (including that if there were more people in the country, we'd use the same amount of resources that we do now, and that aiming for Zero Population Growth is the same as ethnically clensing most of Europe).
They got up again, didn't say anything, they sat down.
Josh got up. Spanked the rest of their arguements to the ground (including another reference to Nazism), pwned everything up. Pity he was 14 seconds under time, oh well.
Their 3rd speaker got up. Even though she didn't say anything, she was still the best speaker they had.
Adjudicator took her sweet time to tell us what the result was.
Apparrently, we all rocked, but the Affirmative team rocked even harder, so we won. Oh, and I got best speaker. ^(^.^)^
I guess that's everything I needed to say... We rock! Woo!
