While Americans believe that "their style" of debate is better, the showing on the worlds stage begs to differ. Canada regularly breaks top 6 whereas Team USA...never breaks.

National style allows for a lot of personal style, if you look at Tim Abdullah and Iqbal Kassam they are great examples.

elfifle,

these students are students, not a political analysts or sociological debater, they are a student. Prop has brought a good argument and a very good persuasive LEGIT paper. This argument, and if you are litsening to it, is suggesting that the Carbon Tax be a polict in the Canadian Economic sector. It doesn't matter how old you are, if you have facts that are true and that obliterate opposition, you will win, and it will be a policy if the judges account for the implementations thoughts

How old are these students and how much time do they have to prepare their speeches? Thanks

THis is a fucking joke. How is this debate? Everything is completely warrantless. THis is absolute trash. I dare any of you to try LD or POLICY debate

@shervin6758 I wanna see a video of it. See how he does it and still wins. Do you have it or do you know if anybody have it?

[sixstring1991]

what's the etiquette w/ accepting objections? are they obliged to address any, or can they shut down their opponents voice?

[sjiidebate]

i think what the opp failed to say was that the prop polic wouldnt actually work.

how are you going to measure every ounce of carbon that people use everyday?

if ur going to put the same tax on everyone. this would be unfair to people who don't use their cars as much as others.

[shervin6758]

GOOD point. Iqbal Kassam has his own, calm style. I can tell you that just 2 weeks ago, at BC Provincials, IN THE FINALS, WHICH WERE IMPROMPTU, he had NOTHING written down. How did he win? Staying cool, not getting to angry, yet remaining passionate.

But parliamentary is the international style of debate. but the good side is we do need a piece less aggressive style, policy is useless. People throwing facts at a situation as fast as they can isn't truly useful. Which is what policy is. LD on the other hand is the most useful for competition because it couples persuasive speaking with a fact based system.
