just because you like to talk does not automatically make you good at debating or making speeches.

Wrong. Speech and Debate isn't entirely about debating or making speeches.

Speech and Debate has two categories: argumentation and interpretation.

interpretation contains several events: dramatic, thematic, humor, exposition, impromptu, and etc.

All these don't have to relate to "debating". All of these relates to talking whether it's for fun, argument, convey a story, or ANYTHING!

Yeah I know that. I was keeping my response short. But thanks anyways for automatically assuming that I'm stupid.

No one is assuming you're stupid. mellow.gif he didn't say he was good at argument or speeches. He simply just stated he will probably join debate because he likes to talk, not because he was good at arguing or presenting speeches. I don't know how you jumped into the conclusion of assuming what you mentioned earlier, "you like to talk does not automatically make you good at debating or making speeches".

If one likes to talk, one can improve his speaking skills by joining speech and debate. There’s nothing wrong. It is a common stereotype that speech and debate is for nerds, argumentative people, hardcore speakers, and geniuses that requires high level debate & speech skills , but it's not true at all.

Almost every girl generally likes to talk, but we know it doesn’t automatically make them good debaters or speech-er.

again, you're not stupid (because you're smart)
