Hurry, Hurry! For the debate is about to begin! Today's Topic:
TAKING GAIAN WILDLIFE FROM THEIR NATURAL HABITAT IS WRONG
This will be a single debate, 1 person arguing his case against another. The first to sign up will choose wether to argue for or against the topic, the second will take the vacant position.
Each person will have 3 turns to speak, first an opening statement, then the main body of their argument, refuting the others, and finally a closing sum-up. The turns to speak will be taken alternately - first one then the other, then the first again, and so on untill each has spoken thrice.
The first speaker will be chosen randomly by me, your heroic captain Lord Beauregard Chanceton I will judge and decide who has won.
Please keep it bearably brief ladies and gentlemen, I will instruct those who ramble on too long to repeat themselves more succinctly, and deduct points.
So hurry hurry ladies and gentlemen, for it is first come, first serve, and the prize is a whopping FIFTEEN MILLION SIRIUS CREDITS!

Is taking Gaia's natural wildlife from its surface...wrong?
Well. is it?
Is that a question any of us can really answer? If you ask a miner in tau 23, he wont care. If you ask a rich man on Manhattan, he will say no, of course not. If you ask a Gaian Terrorist, he will most assuredly say it is wrong. If you ask an aging playboy, he may say it is wrong, but wont stop him from paying exorbitant sums for gaian aphrodisiacs.
We cant answer this question, because its not up to us to decide. But I will tell you who DOES make the decision. Who it IS up to, to decide.
The Bretonian Crown.
Taking Gaian wildlife from its natural home is Illegal. The law clearly states, that poaching, transporting, and STEALING these animals, is AGAINST THE LAW. Every single day, we put our faith and trust in The Crown to decide what is just and unjust in our daily lives, as surely as we trust The Crown to safeguard our lives.
Selfish men often follow the law till they have to gain, then will break company with what is just for their own ends, no matter who is hurt.
My point is simple. The law demands we leave these gentle creatures be. If we trust The Crown, why should we stop now?
