  • She didnt explain her criterion or value wtf? The value-critereon should be the majorijty of your case

  • @CBud727 I'm in the same league, and this sucks SHIT. Our freaking freshmen are better than this.

  • @General8675 Remember, this is a High School debate. This is basically practice. Like any skill, it requires practice. You have to start small and work your way up. You don't just jump into the big leagues right away and expect results. That's like someone expecting to jump into the NFL without going to high school football and college football. Not going to happen unless your divinely blessed with amazing skill. Odds of that...0.0000001%. Give these kids the respect they deserve, Douche!

  • If anyone argued like this is real life they would be shot. the more I look back on my LD experience in high school compared to my college experiences debating in an academic setting with PHDs in Philosophy the more I realized how pathetic and sad that this format really has become. If you want to expand your mind read and discuss with intelligent friends and go to lectures by major universities, don't waste your brain on this crap

  • @MrDjac10 no, are you kidding me? we have a lot of LDers go to nationals every year, we belong to a great league in california. but i dont use net benefits like the way you think. i use it to show that our current system is much better, moral, etc. than any new system that the Aff. tries to bring, and its unjust to not realize the good from our current system

  • @MrDjac10 Wait, so it's funny that your debate league is shit and/or full of complete idiots?

  • this is a crap case. btw the resolution is "ought" not "should". ought and should have to completely different defintions.

  • @jboking hahahah its funny seeing how i use that for my neg case for the justice req. rec. of AR, and its undefeated

  • is it bad to read straight from your case?

  • @L0NGB0ARD420 I'll help. If you have time send me a copy of your case and I'll edit it. I've been to nationals 2 times in LD.
