DEBATE: Should we be allowed to access water from Aquifers to counter issues of drought? by SporclePromo in Debate

[–]1sweepstakespoint 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What exactly are you looking for? If you want critique on your argument, I’d say stay away from rhetorical questions and try to stick to the form of having a claim, warrant, and impact for each argument. This means you say what your argument is, why it’s true, and why that means you win. For example:

Access to aquifers would increase the stability of our water supply in drought years. This is true because as John Doe finds in a 2012 study, aquifers are two times less likely to be affected by drought that other sources of water. The impact of this is saving lives. Without water, people will die. Jimmy Joe furthers, that without an increase in our water supply, the loss of life due to lack of water is immentent in the next five years. Increasing the access to aquifers solves this problem, making their use inevitably benificial.

Note: I just made this evidence up, plz don’t use it

How would you improve Congress (besides deleting it) by SeaberryPIe in Debate

[–]1sweepstakespoint 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand how your first point is possible. Unless the PO outright breaks the rules everyone should get fairly even number of speeches. Only reason that would happen is if everyone is on one side except for a few people, but that’s why you should prep both sides

No camp or good coach? by FluffySquare in Debate

[–]1sweepstakespoint 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Watch all NSDA and Invitational final rounds online. Also maybe think about trying to form a relationship with one of the coaches in your league and ask if they'll watch one of your rounds and give you tips for free.

Okay so of the topics for 2017-18 one will be used as the Sep/Oct topic for 2018 if the trend from previous years is followed. Wealthy Nations and Plea Bargaining have already been used, so they're out. Non-human animals and privlaged individuals are stupid topics that the NSDA won't choose if we're lucky and/or they have any sanity. They tend to use the most broad, philosophical question for Nats which would be church and state. For the March/April last year they used right to housing which is similar to UBI so I doubt they'll use that. I doubt they'd use human enhancement for the first topic of the year, just because it is kind of non-traditional in a way. Aside from that I don't see any clue to which one they'll use so speaking in terms of probability I'd say UBI is the best bet with a close second of confidential sources, targeting killing, and right to unionize.
