  • dear commentators: Just so you know, this isn't me. I actually just recorded my future roommate "spreading" to demonstrate bad presentational speaking for a class on presentational speaking....

    Spreading is WRONG! It is not an example of good speech pracice, and therefore must DIE!

    Actually I don't care that much... but quit saying "You need to do this and that" because I really don't care and you're clogging my inbox. Thanks

  • @hyrax786 um...tell that to all the policy and LD debaters out there. Watch them mangle you with their spreading.

  • @K9sRULE242 spreading is good for policy debate and, sometimes (depending on your region and mainly on your judge) for LD debate. In the real world, though, it's useless and doesn't provide any strength to your argument, unless you plan to be an auctioneer... if you're still doing high school debate, have fun with it, but keep in mind real speeches need to be understood.

  • You call that spreading? I had to play it at double speed just to understand what he's saying.

  • @baseballreg123 Why, in any reasonable realm of reality, is this a bad thing?

  • @hyrax786 Actually, because people spread, it helps your critical thinking skills and your skill to come up with ideas on the spot since you have to talk and give out ideas so fast.

  • @TheRealChrisAllen aww thats cute. so you didn't have anything better to do. well i hope you did well at nationals! (in all sincerity)

  • @allysonp66066 Well, I was at NFL Nationals and bored in my hotel room. So I decided to look up debate spreading and was incredibly disappointed. Then, I saw the comments and was even more disappointed.

  • @TheRealChrisAllen i was looking at your channel, nice vids btw. but i couldnt help but notice recent activity; do you look at debate videos and comment about how stupid everyone is for fun? because it sure seems like it :P

  • @allysonp66066 You're wrong, though. Almost everyone can understand spreading except for you.

  • Your spreading sucks. You need to do more pen drills. It sounds like you're saying nothing at all but jibberish.

  • @allysonp66066 The thing is that the judges and each opponent can and do understand what you are saying. One learns quickly and one's ear can quickly become accostomed to listening to people speak quickly and one can realize if it is a good or bad argument even at high speeds. If no one understood anyone no one would debate.
