Motions from the Northeast Asian Championship (Held sometime in Nov 2004, I think)

This tournament followed the Asians format - 3 motions per round, the teams decide on the motion to be debated. The Northeast Asian Championships is targeted mainly at Korean and Japanese universities (I think). Given the shortness of debating history in that region, it's quite no surprise that these are very classic motions, it seems (at least to me).
