"The difference between civil and criminal law..."
"I'm sorry, I'll let you speak in a minute, I just have to say I'm a jackass"
So in these past two days the Hart House (UofT Clubs+Sports centre) Debating Club has been starting up. I went to two meetings and saw two hilariously abysmal show rounds. The first was whether or not the government should criminalize infidelity and the second was whether or not the United States should televise state executions. I know, odd to begin with but with cut time, out of practice debaters, rushed prep, and a generally jovial atmosphere it ended up with wild grasps at prudence and family values and phleh, that sort of stuff. What was most fun, I found, was meeting people I haven't seen in eh-jeeeeees. Some of them, of course, I was less delighted to see than other but for the most part it was good times. There was also a new, friendly attitude between me and another female debater where there hadn't been one before. I did my resolute best to be friendly and unassuming so we'll see where that goes.
