Hey aang: if you are gonna be the Debate Police, at least have the right info. Douglas and Lincoln debated during the race for a Senate seat from Illinois, not the governorship.

He's not telling you to use his case, he's telling you how to build it up. And explaining certain issues.

@Trooper,

This tutorial is fine.

Thanks for the video. I laughed out loud when you said "Not Michael Douglas" but it was really nice.

Stephen Douglass... not Frederick.

oh my...he chose happiness as his value??? That would be easily negated just by saying--being a mature adult does not nessicarily lead to happiness...WOW OK then...

Also, the time thing is another the speech length, its 6-3-7-3-4-6-3 with 4 minutes of prep time (as of halfway through the 2006-2007)although some tournaments still use three because not everyone has fully accepted the change. Basically, each side gets 13 minutes total of speaking time and 3 mnutes of questioning time with 4 minutes of prep time.

The Frederick Douglas thing isn't the only mistake. Stephen Douglas and Abraham Lincoln didn't debate in the run for President, they debated for Governor of Illinois. The Lincoln-Douglas debates were a series of 7 debates that were held in 7 towns in Illinois. Ottawa on August 21, 1858, Freeport on August 27,1858, Jonesboro on September 15,1858, Charleston on September 18,1858, Galesburg on October 7,1858 Quincy on October 13,1858 and Alton on October 15, 1858.
