Hope you all had a fun new year, Nadia is debater for the Month for December, congratulations. There may well be no RRT mail next week as I will be on holiday and I dont think I will have any internet access. However since most topics have not been taken up for the last few weeks I there should be plenty of ideas left on the one hour tasks list! (we have also been sending out less time dependent debates recently so hopefully most of them wont have the feeling of being out of date either.) Alex Debates: See forum <http://debatewise.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=111>and task list <http://debatewise.info/index.php/tasks/one-hour-tasks> Will 2012 be worse than 2011? Should presidential pardons be allowed? With Ron Paul doing quite well in the polls I think it would be an appropriate time to have a debate on libertarianism: This House Would Be A Libertarian This house would have retained a troop presence in Iraq. This House believes that the Indian government should grant independence to Jammu and Kashmir -- *Alex Helling * *Content Officer * The International Debate Education Association (IDEA) UK 96a Curtain Road, London, EC2A 3AA | 020 3393 7223 | info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Registered charity in England and Wales.
