IQ2US marks the launch of Oxford-style debating -- one motion, one moderator, three advocates for the motion, three against -- in New York City. Each evening begins at 6:00P with a complimentary cocktail period. As you enter the theater before the debate starts at 6:45P, you cast your vote for or against the evening's motion. Those results are displayed midway through the debate as each side makes its statements. After all six panelists speak, the audience has a chance to ask the speakers questions and vote again. The debate finishes with brief summations from the panelists, the votes are tallied and a winning side is declared.

This is terrible, and this is a problem, for not only Africa, but to Haiti, and just about every other third-world-country. This sickens me.

What exactly 'is terrible' ?
Clearly, the aid is not the issue here. The motion is misleading. The corruption and failure in execution of the good intention is the culprit.
👏🏼👏🏼
zero rise? Okay, I know there are examples of really bad development, but don't tell me a few bad apples count for all of Africa, even in Africa there are success stories, Botswana for instance, and Ghana recently has been a huge growth story, and you must remember that population growth has been huge also, and it's probably the huge population growth in some countries that has strained the GDP per capita growth, because as we've increased access to food, health and the like, people live!
