Funny Lines from National Novice 2009

A couple days back (Tuesday, 17th of March), a message was sent out among the malaysian_debaters yahoo group that focus on the National Novice 2009 that was held previously last weekend. The lines are just the humorous ones and truly memorable that shows how flexible communication can be when debating. Without further a due, this was the following message from Aina of UiTM (I truly salute for her efforts to spread the laughter). Enjoy! ;D

Subject: The Classic Statements of National Novice 2009!

Hey everyone! As promised, i have compiled the memorable lines from some of the debate rounds. Unfortunately, i didn't get the chance to chat with all the adjs so if you have anything to add, feel free add on!

Lo and Behold!

Parent-child debates

1. `We would allow abortion for babies who are conjoined.'
P.O.I: For which trimester?
`What?'
P.O.I : Is there a time limit for when the mom is allowed to abort?
`Of course. Two years!'

2. `If a dwarf mom has a baby, we will kill it.'

3. `How can you say you want to abort deformed fetuses? Look at Karpal Singh! He's deformed and he's in Parliament!'
(Ugh, firstly he's handicapped not deformed. And secondly, it's a bit too late to abort him now, innit?)

4. `Deformed babies will cause bleeding to their mothers' womb. It's true...'

5. `We want to include parents inside the children.'
(Eww.)

Environmental debate

1. `The govt says they want to use cow dung as fertilizer. But how are we going to do it? Who's going to pick up the cow dung? No one even wants to touch it!'
(Wow... talk about feasibility!)

Entertainment debate

1. `Chris Brown is not a violent man. You can tell from his songs like when he says: With you i dont need money, i dont need car, Girl you're my all! See?'

2. `It's normal for couples to fight like Katy Perry says, we fight we break up,we kiss we make up.'

3. It (reality tv) is real enough to make us cry when they cry, laugh when they laugh, heartbroken when they're heartbroken. Guys it's real"

4. `In Joe Millionaire, the couple had a perfect date and kissed under the full moon. How can that NOT be fake?'

5. `Britney is not even talented. She can't sing and dance at the same time!'

And the rest (including some classic ones from the previous tourney.)

1. `We believe that the end meets the meet!'

2. `Why make the UN do it? Why not PBB?'

3. Govt : The Sultans don't need our money! They are rich by birth!
Opp : Where do they get this money? From a treasure hunt?

4. Govt : "The Government of Malaysia is stupid."
Opp : "How can you say the Government is stupid? You ARE the Government!!"
(Yeah, like DUH!)

Motion : THW allow the use of torture on terrorists.

Opp: "Why would you want to torture terrorists? Do you want them to go crazy?"
Govt : "How can you say that all the crazy people are terrorists? Have you SEEN any crazy terrorists?"
(This is exactly the point where ADJUDICATORS go crazy.)

Opp : "We would not torture terrorists, but we would put them in counselling and advise them. Also, we would show them the pictures of their families, and ask if they really love them..." (Hmmm...Terrorist Anonymous.... very original, indeed!)



Cheers!
