Interfactional Debate Arguments
Nervestapling has always been a time honoured tradition passed down within generations amongst the Hivers. Ask anyone in the Hive and they will remembered being nervestapled before. While the degree of enjoyment during nervestapling may vary with people, nothing shows to suggest that they suffered any ill effects from such exposure. Contrary, the Hive citizens all lead a healthy, productive lifestyle for the good of all. Although the same could not be said of some of the Party members and we blamed that on the lack of nervestapling they received.

Studies in the Hive have shown that nervestapling improved productivity and general wellbeing of character. Once what was an apathetic or rebellious drone, gradually under the steadifying influence of controlled nervestapling, become a normal productive worker. Thus the benefits of nervestapling is what help makes the Hive strong.

All the horror stories of nervestapling that went tragically wrong were due to the work of non-state sanctioned nervestapler personnel. Under the hands of a state-approved well-trained operator, nervestapling is no more risky that having your hair cut. All qualified operators had to undergo an intensive 18 month course learning the finer arts of nervestapling. To the Hive, nervestapling is no crude clumsy tool to blugeon drones into submission, rather the operators are trained to apply deft touches that gives maximum effect.

Not to mention that mind-stapled drones are HAPPIER than before, and less likely to complain about thier situation. In fact many never realise afterwards that they were mind-stapled at all.

Clears throat and pretends to be an evil arrogant minister.

What the University's first speaker failed to address properly is whether the repeative nerve stapling is safe. The moral and effectiveness of nerve stapling is not in question in this debate. Indeed morality of what we do to our citizens is rarely questioned at the hive. It is believed the university has a similar understanding with its citizens. They are simply not as open about it.

The quoted lack of long term "effectiveness" of nerve stapling is actually a strong argument that repeative nerve stapling is perfectly safe. As obviously the treatments can be stopped at anytime and the citizen will regain his previous abilities.

It is conceded that backlash under the UN charter may cause health problems to citizens of a particular faction that repeatively nerve staples. This is based on the assumption that a weak faction is nerve stapling the citizens, and that is rarely the case. In reality this is but a simple side effect that will undoubtedly end with the demise of the attacking faction.

Nerve stapling has never been know to directly claims lives, although abhorrence to nerve stapling has often led to citizens dying in riots or in worst cases civil war. It does not stifle growth either as it actually encourages citizens to rut like rabbits, since they are unable to pursue more complex hobbies.

Tests on children have been conducted to explore the effect of nerve stapling. Admittedly, there were fatalities during the early stages of testing. However, after the procedure was perfected and the nurse realised she was mistakenly using a nail gun, the orphans stopped dying from shock sustained during the stapling. It is a know fact that children are the most frail, most useless, and weakest of our community. From the fact that we are now having a 100% success rate with the children it is not a difficult leap to realise that it must be safe for adults and the elderly too.

I would also like to promote my new book based on my extensive and selfless work with the orphans.


After this debate I will be available to do autographs.
