The Great Debate

There are a number of Inter-College Competitions every year. mostly its sports like cricket softball rugby soccer tennis, table tennis. there is also debate. last night was the semi finals of the debate. as the defending champions, fisher has a bye until the finals, so Jane and Christ debated. The topic was whether social networking is beneficial or detrimental to our health. Not the greatest topic, but whatever. It was in pepperz so a group of fisher people went over to watch. Christ was saying social networking sucked and jane said it was great. As the first speaker from Christ spoke one of the Jane speakers kept making point of informations. I was very tempted to make the point of information (even though i wasn't involved) "why are you such a dick." i did, and neither did anyone else. i thought about debating for fisher, but didn't realy feel like it, and i think it's the wrong format for me. i'm more an argue with you, not drawn out speeches. Plus when people tried to make points of information the speaker sometimes said "no thank you" or waved them away. I'm pretty sure in their situation i would just stay "fuck off." The funniest part was the adjudicator announcing the winner, he inserted a couple of jokes. Jane won by a point so Christ got to pick the topic for the finals and in their usual fashion they picked something dumb. The debate will be over whether Tasmania should succeed from the commonwealth. Dumb topic, luckily we're arguing against it, the much better topic
