825894
Direct DEBIT mandate form. The firm you are buying from -- typically a utility, mortgagee bank, credit card issuer, mobile phone company, etc. will deduct the amount of your bill (or minimum monthly payment, as you choose) from your current account at your bank.\n\nThere's a DIRECT DEBIT GUARANTEE which banks often lie about and deny. But if there's a mistake, or you're defrauded, or even if there's a misunderstanding, the bank MUST pay you back.

Debating ideas \n \n\nThe Five-minute Debate Planner (Mk I)\n\nTopic \n\nIssue and justification \n\n\n\nDefinitions and justifications \n\n\n\n\nCase line \n\n\n\n\nMaterial (arguments) \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRebuttal arguments \n\n\nAllocation \n\n\nAnticipated opposition arguments: \n\n\n\n \n\n\nThe "Five-minute Debate Planner" appears above — it is not unique. Use this sheet on some practice topics, and changed the plan to suit yourself.\n\nUse your version of the planning sheet\n\n\nto plan how you will present each debate, and \nto "capture" the other side's plan during the debate so you can analyse it. \nThe terms used in the sheet:\n\nThe topic is obvious. Just write it down as it is stated, and note what side you are on by writing "Aff" or "Neg" at the end of the line.\n\nThe issue is what the topic is really about. This question is very important if the topic is about a metaphor, like "People who live in glass houses should not throw stones". In this example, the issue is not about throwing real stones, or living in a glass house. You must always take time out to identify the issue.\n\nIn the same section, write down your justification for interpreting the issue this way. This shows briefly why you have chosen what you have chosen as the issue.\n\nNext, you come to your definitions. Mostly, these will come from your interpretation of the issue, and must refer to the issue. Sometimes, the definitions will come from what the "person in the street" would believe, or from the context of the topic. (If the topic is "That we should kill all the lawyers", this does not necessarily mean standing all the solicitors against a wall and shooting them, even if this strikes you as a tempting proposition. It helps to know that this was meant literally when Shakespeare wrote the lines for "Dick the Butcher".) Note down the context, if you know it.\n\nNext comes your case line. You need a quick statement of how the debate will go from your side.\n\nThen comes a brief points-form listing of your material, the arguments that your team will put forward.\n\nAs a separate section, note down rebuttal arguments. These are things that you need to remember and plan for, but which you plan to bring out in rebutting the other side's arguments.\n\nNext comes your allocation for the first two speakers. This divides up the caseline into a neat and logical division that gives each speaker a reasonable amount of material to work with.\n\nFinally, note down what you expect the other side to argue. Watch out: there may be more than one way of arguing either side of a case!!\n\nSample topics\n\nThese topics are roughly graded in terms of difficulty. In training, you will sometimes be required to take on a task which is easier or harder than your ability and age. Note that even the hardest topic can be debated at a simple level, and a very simple topic can be debated brilliantly!\n\nEasy\n\nThat homework should be banned.\n\nThat school uniforms are good for us.\n\nThat television is too violent.\n\nThat television does more harm than good.\n\nThat terrorism can be justified.\n\nThat the earth can look after itself.\n\nThat the IOC made the wrong decision for Sydney.\n\nThat a woman's place is in the home.\n\nThat Australia is a nation of bigots.\n\nThat the car is a luxury we can do without.\n\nThat all our woes have come from science.\n\nThat people who live in glass houses should not throw stones.\n\n \n\nJunior\n\nThat the Olympics are a five-ring circus.\n\nThat spectator sports are a waste of time.\n\nThat organised team sport is legalised violence.\n\nThat we are Uncle Sam's nephews and nieces.\n\nThat the law is an ass.\n\nThat education is the key to success.\n\nThat education starts after school.\n\nThat there is strength in diversity.\n\nThat peace depends on fear.\n\nThat we should try, try, try again.\n\nThat we should be vegetarians.\n\nThat we should

It'd be nice if it worked that way.  The whole "attack ad" thing is just insane.\n\nI found a Voter's Guide put together by the League of Women Voters that had compiled the responses by all candidates to a set of questions.  I found that very useful, because the candidates were forced to talk about what they WOULD do, versus what the other guy WOULDN'T do.\n\nIt was mind-boggling to me that there were actually candidates who didn't send in a response to the survey, so were listed as "No reply received".  I'm sorry, but if you "can't be bothered" or "can't get around" to answer 3-4 questions of 100 words or less to inform the voters on your position, WHY should I vote for you??

A pure form of democracy in which considerable power is wielded by the general public. For instance, the initiative, referendum, and recall are all devices of direct democracy.

First of all, you'll definitely want to make one before you start it.\n\nClearly write out your position in paragraph form in the plural, beginning with the sentence, "We the undersigned..."\n\nBeneath your statement, provide blank, numbered lines, with columns directing petitioners to write their names, sign their names, and include their addresses (for formal petitions, this is required).  \n\nGood luck!

I'm liberal and love debating with the conservatives on this site. It's all in good fun. No one is going to change my mind and I'm not going to change theirs but debate is what makes this country so great. Lack of debate is a growing problem in our government. The pres and his boys are just doing whatever they want no debate, no questions allowed and that is a whole lotta BS.

any topic of debate is going to be controversial, i would try gay marriage, capital punishment, abortion, legalization of marijuana (i had an english class that someone won for it once), school uniforms, prayer in schools, evolution, just to name a few. a great series is taking sides (i think) it has the viewpoints and different ideas for that sort of debate.

This is a guess; direct government would be the parts directly accountable to elected politicians. Indirect would be those parts not directly accountable eg the judiciary where judges may amend laws but are not accountable to an electorate; an example would be the supreme court in the USA

Option 1: take a controversial topic and defend one side. (like abortion, immigration, national security, homosexuality, etc.)\n\nOption 2: take a ridiculous topic and defend one side (like "the sky is purple" "people should eat elephants" "convicts should eat each other" "Canada should annex Zimbabwe" etc"\n\nOption 3: take a mediocre topic and talk about it (like "people are good" "I should have an A on this presentation" etc.)
