  • interesting article in WIRED magazine on this

  • @brettisrad You only have so much time to read mounds of evidence so you must do it as quickly as possible.

  • Wanna be Micromachine men. Stop abusing your bins.

  • They use bins full of paper as podiums. rofl

  • @brettisrad It is called spreading. The tactic of speaking incredibly fast (I read that some of the fastest debaters speak at 541 wpm, or just over 9 words per second), is in order to get more arguments out in a shorter time. At first it was much slower and gradual, but became faster. As of now it is very difficult to win against a team who spreads (most of them), without spreading yourself.

  • @guitarist4life09 Michigan State (the team with the girl)

  • Who the fuck won??

  • Why are they all speaking so fast? How are you supposed to understand a word they are saying?

  • @drinkmouse I don't agree with chess club. I view it as a waste of resources, but do you see me demeaning them? Show some compassion, soulless being.

  • @drinkmouse Have you ever thought of debate as an after-school activity where a bunch kids get together for a good time? Responses like this are unnecessary, debate is an activity for enjoyment for most, and those that are extremely competitive to take it to the next, can if they wish so, we just adapt to them. If we lose, we lose, if we win, we win. I'm a debater and people like you are unnecessary in society if all you wish to do is to demean the activities of others.
