Joining Stewart in representing Northwest College was Eagle Debate Team Captain Joshua Brittingham. The pair played the role of Opposition against the British who were assigned the Government side in the debate. Stenger played the role of Madam Speaker of the House. Both teams showed exceptional skill in arguing their cases with rational proof, smooth style and entertaining charm. Brittingham argued that China should not be admitted until that nation agrees to abide by WTO policies.
China is outside the play pen, crying to be let in while throwing rice cakes at the other kids.
I say, they can't be let in until they play by the rules . The British argued that China will become isolationist and less likely to reform if they are denied entry into the trade federation. The debaters sat at opposing tables in the lecture hall. One table was draped with a British flag and the other with an American flag. The conflict between Britons and Americans this time was resolved civilly and with good humor.
