plus they're not even spreading and if they're actually trying to they're slow as crap

[jpmoney2001]

ld in college uses policy resolutions. high school moves towards value like old ceda debate. the speed has increased from an increase in policy oriented judges, think of ld as a slow version of ndt/ceda

no suits?

I wish there was a way to prevent or condemn spreading. Although this is far from an example of spreading.

@bradshawoklahoma Don't look down on spreaders now. Spreading helps Affirmatives bridge the gap of time between the Negative's 7 minute Constructive/1s Rebuttal to the Affirmatives 1st Rebuttal which is four minutes. Otherwise, LD would be like Public forum which has no time to cover everything well. Sonce the Advent of Negatives running 3 offs, in order to get a technical win as they are A-Prioris, has appeared spreading combats it. As long as the judge and opponent is fine with it, go for it.

Spreading just shows that you have a future in the auctioneer business more than anything else. Its a shame to see anyone spread in LD since it goes against the actual meaning for the original Lincoln-Douglas debates. L & D debated values like slavery etc just like debaters do today, but I doubt they talked that fast simply because no one else could understand them. Sure spreading makes you feel smart, but it also makes the average joe think your social retard on speed.

Wow. Everything I thought I knew about debate was just crushed. I'm a senior in high school and I compete in Lincoln Douglas debate and I was all psyched when I saw this video and I was like, "OH SWEET, PHILOSOPHY" but it sounds more like policy than anything. Odd. xD

@Hardwood9192 ur so fuckin stupid, jus cuz ur retarded and cant understand people who can speak and think fast in no way means everyone else is the same way u fuckin dumbassmotherfucker

[BreezyInfernoNinja]

@imatreyu cuz the standard of the round will always b linked to some kind of philosophy

[BeforEvilsDemise]

@rayfan222 lol i'm telling you i used to spread ALL the time especially once you hit TOC levels its expected. only people i know who absolutely don't are UIL kids

[rayfan222]

@BeforEvilsDemise no im an ld person and you can't spread ld isn't like cx you don't have enough time 

[elevenmatrixeleven]

Wow, so i continued reading the comments and realized how many people are calling this "fast" and not debate ?! I'm a senior in highschool and this is debating at a snail's pace.... like i said to scott, you guys must be debating on the oklahoma circuit or something.... come to a tfa dallas area tournament. Whats the issue with speed in an enviornment where both debaters and the judge can understand it ? it maximizes the information that can be presented, the same goes for a progressive case
