My recent entry regarding the debate heats merely skimmed upon the details that occured on that fateful day. However, word has come around that certain participants, being sore losers, are posting a great deal of twisted, selectively edited versions in their own blogs. Given their cynicism and decreased mental capacities, they have tried to exhibit their displeasure by giving their account of what happened from their own perspective.
Now, now... like they always say - There's always 2 sides to every story.
So mutherfuckers (a term of endearment specially reserved for those guilty), hear hear! You don't piss my friends. You don't ridicule them - especially when you're lame, and your hairstyle looks like it was stolen from some biblical persona.
Case in point -
There's this guy, who thinks he's some kinda hotshot debater. In his blog, he stated that the judge commented that he's delivery was good. And that he slammed my teammate's reply speech. Apparently, he said he was rated the best speaker (or so his overactive imagination can continue to dream).
I question why he suddenly suffered from selective amnesia and forgot to put in other details, such as :
- His team stating a lamer then lame policy (their policy as govt, This House Will Criminalize Abortion On Demand For Pregnant Mothers Under 18yrs)
- His team misinterpreting the meaning of CRIMINALIZATION
The Free Dictionary By Farlex, available online : http://www.thefreedictionary.com/criminalization
crim·i·nal·ize (krm-n-lz)
tr.v. crim·i·nal·ized, crim·i·nal·iz·ing, crim·i·nal·iz·es
1. To impose a criminal penalty on or for; outlaw.
2. To treat as a criminal. - Being (backside) sore losers
Their notion's pure crap. I seriously call into question their stance. So does that mean everyone beyond the age of 18yrs will go off scott free? What happens if the woman's health is endangered? What if the woman is a victim of rape or incest? What is the baby has a serious congenital defect? What gives the government the right to infringe on the right of autonomy over the woman's own body? Doesn't this clearly violate the constitutional rights of a woman's right towards reproduction? Why the hell must parents be informed? What if the parents' agree to the abortion? You going to lock them up too? How will this affect society? Will this then not drive the woman to depression? Will this then not drive the woman to kill not only herself but commit infanticide? Won't the number of abandoned babies rise? Won't this increase the incidence of child abuse? How can you assure the child's safety after being born?
And their policy of mandatory counselling and notifying the parents. Please. They fucked up the meaning of criminalization and still dare blabber on and on about making my teammate blush?! Good grief.
Alas, fate would have it that their team would not only lose once, but TWICE. Haha.. talk about destiny. They lost every debate they participated in. Where then is your glory? oooOOOOooo What has the hotshot, apparently BEST speaker done for his team? Zilch. Pure zero.
One thing though, at the very least, the team we were up against had more manners then the other team their school sent in. The other team(save for the first speaker) had such indecorum, they make Jerrel, who hasn't bathed for days, rolling around in shit and playing with his privates look more civilized in comparison. Oh gawd, my eyes are burning.
This competition IS supposed to be a learning ground for all involved. It's supposed to enhance our knowledge of current affairs, key ethical issues the world faces and to a certain extent, build our confidence to speak in front of an audience and practice social graces. Heck, even i had to refrain from spewing expletives. I bit my tongue so many times, i was practically swallowing blood. Why it morphed into some sort of ego-manical wrestling match baffles me.
Some good things came out though. Both SHS teams made it into the semi's. We bonded with our peers on a higher level. And made new friends with the representitives from other schools. And it made me view Ang Moh Potato in a whole new light - hot hot hot. Wahahha.. Moonie, he brushed against my knee while we were having dinner. You jealous right? Woohoo...
