Debate: SHOULD ANY SPORT THAT INVOVES THE KILLING OF ANIMALS BE BANNED?
Side: NO

I'm okay if you decide not hunt (or fish) but don't you dare make it illegal for me to have a wonderful time with my family and friends, provide for them, see a beautiful landscape,and just plain have fun, cause that's what hunting really is.If you've never been to a hunt, then go to one, even if you don't see anything, you will probably have a great time.The best day of my life was at a hunt.
Debate: SHOULD ANY SPORT THAT INVOVES THE KILLING OF ANIMALS BE BANNED?
Side: NO

Without hunting the population of animals would decrease dramatically. If we don't go kill those deer, then they'll eat all the grass, if they eat all the grass, then there's no more, if there's no grass, then all the deer DIE.We're just part of the lifecycle.And besides, hunters give more money to wildlife organizations, than others. All the money used in buying hunting licenses, tags, and a lot of other stuff too, goes to wildlife organizations, the same goes for fishing.
Debate: SHOULD ANY SPORT THAT INVOVES THE KILLING OF ANIMALS BE BANNED?
Side: NO

I completely agree with hunting and fishing, in fact I love to hunt and fish, UNLESS you don't take the food, when you hunt ( or fish) you should try to take as much meat as possible, if you just go into a forest, shoot a deer and leave it there, that is WRONG!

Hey, I'm doing that same topic for my school's competition!C-grade! E-hi5! Anyways, I think this debate is kind of one sided and I would hope that you're not on the affirmative. So, the main point that you want to push is about restricting child pornography. But that's only one argument so good luck thinking of more. Also, you might consider bringing up the example of China's internet filter and all the good points about it (if there are any). Good luck in you competition! I've probably been no help anyway -___-

Thanks, I've been discussing similar things (and also very different things) in regard to this topic with my team, and yes, we are affirmative.Is your competition DAV Debating? It is for me.If you are, then what division are you and what school?

Yeps, I'm from Victoria University Secondary College Brimbank Campus (formerly know as Brimbank College before a stupid merge with other crappy school around the district) and in the Essendon region doing C-Grade as well. I don't know what side I'm on yet because they haven't released the Essendon draw yet. SMC? I'm guessing that's your school and I'm going to take a punt and say that's St. Michael's College. Correct me if I'm wrong. Which I probably am.

I'm actually from St. Monica's College, in the Watsonia division.We are going ahead with the debate in just under 9 days from now, so it should be interesting. I'm debating as 3rd speaker (as usual).So, good luck with your debate!

Child pornography? Geez I thought that was the government's approach LOL. Ok, try and argue this and you might stand a chance at your competitions:Child porn can be censored simply enough at home with the installation of a censoring software by your parents. This will encourage parents to be responsible parents and not just rely on the government to look after their kids for them!Spending millions on a censorship system that can be simply circumvented by running a software is just wasteful and naive! What's more, it encourages parents to be lazy and have a false sense of security. Have you heard of UltraSurf by the way? That's how people circumvent China's Great Fire Wall, chaps! And they spent BILLIONS on that GFW!
Debate: Should Australia adopt a National Internet Filter?
Side: Australia SHOULD...

Yes, but only sealing it off to children wouldn't help at all. I'm going to make a generalisation here and say that they're all on Facebook or their preferred method of social networking. Adults are free to do anything on the internet so what's to stop them from looking at it? That's right, nothing!
Debate: Should Australia adopt a National Internet Filter?
Side: Australia SHOULDN'T...

So we're not just talking about protecting the little children? Ok, if adults like that kinda stuff, then that's where the police comes in. It's easier to detect and catch those accessing child porn when they do it openly. If you put a system in there which makes them all go sneaking around to access that stuff, it'll be a lot harder to detect them and catch them.
Debate: Should Australia adopt a National Internet Filter?
Side: Australia SHOULD...

You like circling problems don't you?Why have the police waste their time investigating child pornography when the option of making the pornography in the first place can be taken away?It is easier to just remove the problem than by continuously facing it over and over.Pornography is made for the purpose of being viewed. If it cannot be viewed, then where is the purpose?
Debate: Should Australia adopt a National Internet Filter?
Side: Australia SHOULDN'T...

I'm just being a good samaritan and helping you kids out with your homework! I'd take some notes if I was you.It has been refuted by many experts that the filter will not affect childporn much. This is because they are generally shared via peer-to-peer downloading and from chatrooms, which is outside the scope of the filter.I'm all for a filter that will do its job of reducing crimes and cleaning up the internet a bit, but it has to do this without affecting our rights to freedom of speech. The government needs to be a lot more transparent about the whole thing if they still want to be the government in the next federal election.

Side: Australia SHOULD...

"It has been refuted by many experts that the filter will not affect childporn much."I'd like to hear some names if you don't mind.You are right, an Internet filter needs to do its job effectively. So, why are we talking about an Internet filter that blocks automatically without question? Of course, the government can do whatever they think is right, but at the end of the day, they merely represent us, and if we want change, it happens, or the government do not last long.The system can work, we just need patience and a voiced opinion.

Just to make my argument a tad clearer:A National Filter is something that is 100% monitored, unlike the internet in general.If something goes wrong, which is unavoidable, then a solution will arise faster than usual.

Governments are going to block all the sites which has violence and that has illegal things that horrifies other epeople, so just because you are adult doesn't means that you can do everything you want to do. As you are an adult, you are a rolemodel to the children. Since you are a rolemodel to the children, you shouldn't go in any of violent and illegal sites. That will teach children how to be violent and it will make more crimes and I think no one wants more violence and there won't be any peace in Australia. To put Australia in peace and to have less people who makes crimes, we shouldhave internet filter to block all the horrifying pictures, languages and terrible things in the internet, so no one get affected by the internet.
Debate: Should Australia adopt a National Internet Filter?
Side: Australia SHOULD...

Australia should adopt a National internet Filter, because there are certain pages that has illegal materials that you should not see. I know that no one can tell you what to do, but as long as you are living in Australia, you should follow what government is suggesting you. they made you live here to make your happy life, so can't you just trust them on this? It actually gives lots of benefit... no one will learn bad languages from internet and also the child pornography won't be created anymore, because it will be blocked to see it. The certain pages with violence will be blocked by this filter and you won't see what you don't want to see and also no one will become violently after using internet which makes less murdering and makes less crime in Australia.We strongly should adopt a National Internet Filter to make Australia, the better place, with better people to make Australia, the most happiest country in the world.

Ok, do you know exactly:1 - what will be blocked?2 - who will decide? 3 - how they will decide?Until I know the exact answers to the above 3 questions, I'm not going to vote my right to freedom of speech away. And if you're a responsible citizen of a democratic country, you would not vote for something the government has been quite secretive about! The whole thing is shrouded in mystery. Be responsible and vote NO!
Debate: Should Australia adopt a National Internet Filter?
Side: Australia SHOULD...

Yes, I know what exactly will be blocked. The government will be blocking illegal sites that you shouldn't be going on, so when it is blocking than it means they are not good for you and you won't go in there, because even though you try it twice, you could never get in there.. and since government made this, they will be the one who will decide which one is good for Australians. they have rights to do that, because they are oing that, because they care about their people. We elected them. We all elected them, because they gave us lots of help in our society. They will decided which sites that everyone likes to go in, which sites that everyone doesn't really like to go in.. and they will blocked all the sites that is unwelcome to the people in Australia. I guess that answer all of your three questions:)
Debate: Should Australia adopt a National Internet Filter?
Side: Australia SHOULDN'T...

How can you know what will be blocked when the list of what is being blocked has itself been censored by the government, after it got leaked for a few hours?Because the list of sites is unavailable to the public, for all we know it could contain anti-Rudd Government information that they just don't want people to hear about, should we ever get a mind of our own and vote against them in the next election. As for ALL OF US electing them, what happened to those that voted Liberal at the last election? If the government so cares about us, why aren't they even listening for our opinion on the matter and censoring the list of things that they will be censoring us from? I almost forgot to mention the pointlessness of the other internet scheme they have, which is to implement national broadband to make the net faster, but then they'll put in this massive pointless filter which will slow it right down again. All we can do is say goodbye to the billions of our tax-payers dollars going down the drain.Can I also ask, julie603, what age demographic are you in? As I believe that there is a bias among the older generations who don't use the internet very often and believe that us younger generations should be "put in place".
Debate: Should Australia adopt a National Internet Filter?
Side: Australia SHOULDN'T...

Ok, please define illegal sites. Do they include instructions on civil disobedience methods? That's how detailed you'll need to get. Does the system stop emails from one criminal to another? If it doesn't, how will it help us?Can't the internet police just track down criminals who access illegal websites and arrest them? Why do we need to spend a huge amount of money on a system to filter the illegal material when criminals can just use UltraSurf software to circumvent it?We elected our government, and once they're in power they find ways to restrict our freedom so they can exert more control over our lives, they will find ways to stop us freely communicating with each other (free and powerful democratic societies need this), then eventually the government controls us instead of us controlling the government! That's what is happening in China right now! I don't care about your broken English, but when you're debating, I care about your ability to be logical and convincing, and you're not very logical nor convincing: Your sentences run all over the place and so I still don't know:exactly what will be banned,who gets to decide, andhow they decide?and how is this better for us then having internet police?
Debate: Should Australia adopt a National Internet Filter?
Side: Australia SHOULD...

Why do I need to tell you again, sir?I told you.. since we elected those governemnts, we need to put a faith in them..They said those internet filter will block all those sites which will unwelcome you. How do they know which sites will unwelcome you? because other people will unwelcome the sites that you dislike as well.. and I told you.. it is a governement who is deciding this. Don't you understand English? HOw are they deciding? I can't believe.. I need to say the whole thing again.. I am really sorry, but I can't believe that you are just making me repeat everything I sadi before. The government is going to decide which sites is bad by getting votes in each state, so everyone will choose which sites will be band and I think that is fair thing to do, because that way, It is showing that they respect us for who we are. It is also showing that they are not just trying to take our money. They are trying to help us.This is way better for us then having internet police, because for internet police, you need to call them and they might be far away and they won't really help you if you have issues in your internet, unlike internet filtering, they will blockall the sites that will horrify and makes you violent. In that way, you won't have much problem so instead of going to the police, you can just leave it, because it will be blocked by the internet filter and as soon as when you are relaxed, you can't even see that site anymore which is great:)

Ok, this time your sentences are marginally better constructed! I understand that we need to trust our governments, but they are also capable of making wrong decisions, no? I can give you quite a few examples where governments have made wrong decisions before! They're not gods!!!1 - So you say that they decide on the "bad" sites by votes. How many votes? 50%??? Do you know? I mean if that's the case, every site that gets banned is almost like an election? Here's something you should consider:What if myself and 10,000 other people think that we should ban a particular website showing instructions on how to purchase a gun and operate that gun effectively to hunt. We recommend the government ban this site because it may teach people how to commit murders. Will the government ban that website? What if 10,000 people find that website useful for their research on their hunting hobby and they don't want that banned? Ok, about the internet police, they're not like the normal police my dear. They work with computers, they trace your connections to sites that are deemed illegal and they track down your address to arrest you. They do all this without your knowing anything about their actions. How does blocking websites get rid of criminals? Criminals exist even if those websites are blocked and they can find a way to circumvent the blocking system like I told you before... Good luck with your research, but I think I've helped you enough. If you can't be convincing on this debate, then I doubt you'll be able to win it at school... Take my advice and try to be more logically convincing and provide some evidence of your research by quoting some official numbers or something relevant to your arguments... but don't make up numbers, that's going to make you look stupid when you can't provide the source of the data.

"Yes, I know what exactly will be blocked. The government will be blocking illegal sites that you shouldn't be going on, so when it is blocking than it means they are not good for you and you won't go in there, "And who are you (or the government) to decide what is and is not good for me to look at. And i will be going in there anyway, filter or no filter, since it's so easy to circumvent."and since government made this, they will be the one who will decide which one is good for Australians"Again, what gives the government the right to decide what is good for Australians to view."They will decided which sites that everyone likes to go in, which sites that everyone doesn't really like to go in.. and they will blocked all the sites that is unwelcome to the people in Australia."Every poll and survey conducted has shown that the people in Australia overwhelmingly oppose the introduction of the filter. I guess that means we won't have a filter? Or are they going to ignore public opinion and push their own interests .. hmmmm

It simply isn't true that the government will be blocking illegal sites. As the proposal has currently been described by Senator Conroy, the majority of content that would be eligible for blocking is legal.In any case, since the blacklist will ostensibly be secret, there is no way for you to know what the government is blocking - unless of course you work for the government. ;-)

Wow, I was wrong in my last comment. You're just blissfully ignorant of how governments work.Governments exist to keep order. A good government is actively monitored by its citizens so that it cannot mistreat them, it is transparent in its legislation, and benevolent in its policies.But all governments must maintain their authority, and the best way to do this is to prevent sedition, and keep citizens from accessing information that will rouse them, or show them the corruption in their government's underbelly.Allowing a national internet filter is effectively allowing your government to tell you what you can read, what you can listen to, what opinions you can be exposed to. It amazes me that people as unknowingly harmful to free society like you exist.

hello.My name is Aaron Keeling from Heathdale also competeing in the DAV. I'm in C grade and am doing this topic. i'm affirmative and my main idea is that australia needs to adopt a national internet filter (as aposed to an international filter such as a windows microsoft filter) to help grow australia's local economy and community. The filter could also be more relevant for Australia's culture and needs that could be different from other countries. i would apprieciate any more good ideas but i think it would be wise to steer away from decribing what we should filter because other international filters already filter it.Hope that this has helped

I'll fill this one in for him:1 - Because in the long run, after several thousands of dollars going towards the whole Filtration System, we will find that the Government will be wasting little more dollars in areas such as Internet Police work. I know your immediate response, and that is that 'criminals can work around this'. My point is not aimed at criminals, but towards problems such as cyber bullying. If we continuously need to set up investigations based on this offensive site and that offensive site, then we are just pouring our money into a quick-fix solution that doesn't help in the long run. At least with a National Internet Filter, we would, as I have said in a previous debate, 'hit the problem on the head.' We will also see a decrease in the creation of unnecessary websites that would not even meet the requirements, pouring that money, instead, back into the economy, and not into the bank account of an online nerd. Finally, there will also be a higher and more appropriate use of Internet resources for educational use, which benefits the child, which helps in the long run, etc, etc. Piece it together, its not that hard.2. A community comes together based on social or cultural similarities (how they can relate to one another), and this may very well assist in that category. If one man finds pornography highly offensive and so does another man, then perhaps they can find a sense of similarity. If one man finds that online gaming is fun and should be kept, and so does another, then again, they share in the joy of similarity, and probably play games together for a long time. OK, immediate response (prediction) would be the question of 'how could they possibly know that they share this similarity?' The answer isn't simple, it actually involves this ability that most people have, I'm sure you've heard of it; it's called talking! People see a percentage of 'agreed-upon' with decisions, they share, compare, and move on with their lives. People will make friends; people will make enemies. the important thing is that it will draw in a community like never before.3. This is similar to 2, mainly due to the fact that people may see beyond mere cultural similarities and towards social similarities. Australia can define itself as a country that understands what its people want, and can act upon these understandings in further benefit to the nation. Racial hate will drop in one figure or another, and then the progress picks up again. Australia branches out the Filtration choices, decides even further how they will want a National Filter to work in Schools, Homes, Workplaces, etc, etc.I hope that I've helped you out.
