Hi Alex, i am sorry i have not been able to write or edit this week, my laptop as crahsed and my house still as no internet. However, i am hoping to go to the library more frequently as to dedicate some time towards writing. I apologise for practically missing this weeks debates, but i will be able to focus more attention towards debate wise this week. dammy From: alex@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx To: debatewiserrt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [Debatewise RRT] Re: Debates Date: Fri, 17 Sep 2010 11:42:57 +0100 Hi, Obviously I have the same difficulties with the site as you do. However I am happy to upload points/debates for you if you email me them to me alex@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Just make sure you tell me what point you want where! Hardly an ideal solution but not much else I can offer.

We're having big problems with memory leaks and the site falls over regularly and it isn't that fast even when it's up. We are in the process of moving to a new server and I'm trying as hard as I can to get the problems found and fixed. But it probably wont be soon I'm afraid. Please bear with us.

In this case I edited it a little to bring it up to date. Still strictly speaking this should be a task for the editing group so I would like to know if you have any objections to this. Otherwise not much to report. The WODC is into the Semis so vote on the debates at the end of the week (preferably after reading them!) http://debatewise.org/wodc-debates-2010 Alex debates: The human rights situation in Iraq has not improved since the overthrow of Saddam Hussein. The Cuban model has failed. Lady Gaga's meat dress was offensive. Is the homogenisation of British high streets a good thing? Ban Chinese Lanterns? There should be revenue sharing in the Premier League. On the site: Should families wanting to adopt look abroad? Will cuts bring civil unrest? Should we live in the city or the suburbs? Old: Does the Pope deserve a warm welcome to the UK? -- Work done with anxiety about results is far inferior to work done without such anxiety, in the calm of self-surrender. Seek refuge in the knowledge of Brahman. They who work selfishly for results are miserable. --"Bhagavad Gita." -- www.debatewise.org 020 3393 7223 | 07956 292 567
