News just in is that NZ are now world champions, after defeating England 6-1 in the grand final. This is the first time NZ has won the world champs since 1995, and the 4th time since 1991. Congratulations to the team, their coaches, and everyone involved!

More information here: http://www.debating.org.nz/ (latest results aren't up, but should be in the next few hours)

I fear that hanging is out (OSH are not happy with the safety features of the scaffold).
What about some lions, and a large arena?

That won't work - you'll just have the Animal Welfare people on your backs, worried that a lion might choke on a thigh bone or something...

Whangarei (www.stuff.co.nz) seems to be the place to be if you want to see that sort of stuff.

747830 2009-02-19 05:00:00 OK Deane F.

Here is the proposition. I could not affirm for the death penalty as was mentioned by another poster.

All people born in NZ have a DNA sample collected at birth which goes on a National Database. All visitors and immigrants to NZ will also give a DNA sample which goes on the same database. All people currently citizens of NZ whether born here or not will also be sampled which will go on the same National database.

I will affirm and you can negate if you wish to.

Over to you.

Sweep - these are statements rather than propositions (as that word is used in the context of a debate). What, exactly, are you affirming...?

For the purposes of a formal debate, somebody needs to assert a position.

You started this thread by saying, "Deane F has called into question the debating skill of some members...."

I think my work here is done, surely?
