New Policy Topic, What do you guys think? |
Debate Rules
Here are the general forum rules that you must follow before you start any debate topics. Please make sure you've read and followed all directions.
- Topics are not to bash others.
- Immature behaviors/comments will not be tolerated.
- Please remember, not everyone thinks like you. People have different ways of thinking and different perspectives. Let's respect each other's thoughts and responses.
- PLEASE, search before making new topics--especially popular topics like "God" and "Abortion" etc.
- PLEASE, read through the thread or at least a couple pages before posting. We have to maintain a certain level of maturity in here.

QUOTE(EmeraldKnight @ May 20 2004, 6:08 PM) Alright, I thought we might get a jump start on next year's policy topic, what do you guys think about it? I listened to one round of policy debate at Emory, and my conclusion is: Just talk really, really fast.

See, back when I was a freshman, there were actually good policy topics like the oh-so-infamous nuclear weapons one. YOU SPENT A YEAR DEBATING NATIONAL OCEAN POLICY!! That's such a mundane thing to debate! All the policy debaters in my district agree it was a horrible waste of time. That's why so many swithced to Ted Turner or LD. |

But the fact that we could debate it and debate it well still shows our merit QUOTE wut the HECK is our policy?? dont worry-- i wont be offended..? =] Its a very organized form of debate where you identify a problem in the status quo pertaining to the year's topic, show that not enough is currently being done, propose a plan to solve the problem and prove that your plan will work QUOTE Policy debate is a form of debate in high school that involves two teams of two people each yelling at each other really, really fast.

It shows tthe merit of the debaters, but it shows the national committee was pretty damn idiotic. There's nothing I hate more than a mundane topic like that. My freshman year, we had an LD Topic of Limiting Free Expression to Protect Kids. It was horrible. |
