Policy Debate (or the ultimate intellectual face-crush) - General

[QUOTE=ScoutKing;17787968]I am in a novice class so to say, alot of them use "what are your sources" I facepalm and automatically write down a 5 during refution on the grade sheet we use to grade the people debating.[/QUOTE] your in congress arn't you

[QUOTE=zeroth;17788035]your in congress arn't you[/QUOTE] ? what. I have not done anything with congress, or any mock trials. im talking about in crossfire in policy debate, people will say "where ya get your sources" and they are asking where you get the source for the statement "nuclear power produces radiative waste" really, its obvious, maybe if I said "a airplane crashs every 1 second due to poverty" then they can ask my where my sources is. But GOD! people ask "what is your source" for obvious statements or facts. pisses me off.

cross fire? also, your argument no longer applies if you have no evidence

For liking debating, you sure never debate very well.

the white guy in the beginning will never get laid.

Most of the people I know who debate because they're passionate about what they're debating are fucking egotistical jackasses. Just throwing that out there.

[QUOTE=professional;17787425]Or how to sound like a pompous twat and find the only outlet in life you can establish your pseudo-alpha male dominance.[/QUOTE] Sounds more like Public Forum Debate to me. Wait, [i]forum?[/i], oh [highlight][i]FUCK![/i][/highlight] Yeah and my expirence with PF for 2 years and Policy for 1, everyones an asshole, and they want to kill you and be stupid if you kill them. For example, in my last tournament, we were debating weather or not the draft age should be 16, we made an argument based on the fact we would lose more americans and it would be absoufucking stupid if we did this with bush in office (he was at the time), we had our few articles as proof and all they did to refute is keep on saying their same stupid argument and say constantly "sauces plz?" when we already told them, fuck.

Very intellectual...

Sounds like a bad team, you should have won (unless they read a heg impact which is obviously perceived regardless of american casualties)

I'd be in the school debating club but i...uh.. got into a "debate" with the leader.

British debating revolves around wit and satire. And it's brilliant for it. Strawman till you drop.

Everything always ends in nuclear explosion, right? Like that is the get out of jail free card? I don't know I have some friends in debate. I'm an impromtuer.

Ived ended mine off as "polluted water will kill us all" "Nuclear explosion"
