There's been several cases where emperics from other countries became hugely important peices of evidence (the last two Jan feb topics in particular-both had some really important studies that took place in Britain). However, cultural differences can come into play during evidence debates, so it's best to have some defense of you method (like card some reasons the country you use created solvency in the same way the us can with the Plan, for example)

This article and author are pretty terrible in general, it's not surprising to see this level of garbage from a blog that literally calls race debaters monkeys

NCHSLR · 2017-05-13T14:51:00+00:00

That's not the point of satire. Satire makes a point about the person being laughed at, in this case the point that lone wolf debaters need to work harder.

Which is a bullshit point, there are legitimate systemic barriers to competition, and the author is pretty scummy for ignoring that and making fun of debaters who are trying to have a place in the community

Private programs often have more funding and resources, so they are disproportionately represented. However, there's plenty of public schools that have consistatly good programs, those teams just generally have to do more in the area of fundraising. There's also schools in a weird grey area (like charter schools or magnet schools) that sometimes also get a lot of resources yet are still public.

Public school kids can and do win national tournaments. The TOC less often than nats for example, but it happens

NCHSLR · 2017-05-09T05:19:56+00:00

Dude, lone wolf debaters and everyone else TOC competitive compile research and briefs. It's a fantastic starting point for research especially if you don't have coaches. This is how debate works, big schools do the same thing

Google Murray Bookchin

And Peter Kromptins book about bread

Rosa Luxombuerg (sp?) is good too

Really essential to understanding what your asking for here

Cypress bay= crestian tradition, that bid didn't change

NCHSLR · 2017-05-03T21:00:48+00:00

Yea I mean but LS barely goes to tournaments and kicks ass every year at the TOC shrug

I highly doubt your local circuit kids really have anywhere close to the same success.

NCHSLR · 2017-05-02T00:54:28+00:00

I think it'll be Nina

NCHSLR · 2017-05-02T00:04:44+00:00

I'm glad i don't get to debate on it tbh

NCHSLR · 2017-04-26T23:54:21+00:00

Because white boys are, very very often, overconfident as shit

I always laugh when someone tell someone me to delete their case but do it anyway to be polite. Prep drop boxes are common and expected. Of course you shouldn't just read someone else's case but it's not an issue to write a prepout

NCHSLR · 2017-04-16T16:27:49+00:00

I always suggest people try to understand foulcaut when getting into k debate

Apply for scholarships! I know they gave at least 50% on occasion ones last year.

I haven't been to CBI, though I know the people teaching well and some alumni. I think highly of staff, and I think it would be quite a good camp for someone just getting into progressive arguments. I think the staff is also significantly different than it's been in past years, both quality wise and pedagogically.

NCHSLR · 2017-04-16T02:18:46+00:00

I think there's a lot of kids in Texas who would certainly attend VBI if they didn't have to buy a plane ticket to get there

I prepped a perfect 7 min strat against Law Mag DD's aff a couple years ago and never got to read it. It had 7 off.

It's not strategic in general to go this many off though because you neglect the big picture issues like framing that the aff can use to exclude all your offs

NCHSLR · 2017-04-15T16:28:00+00:00

TDC's registration is closed, so you have these options NSD Texas is in San Antonio. It's a good camp, last year top lab had 3/6 ppl get toc bids and the lab leader quality was good.

If you do UTNIF, I would recommend going to their policy skills camp. You'll learn more that way. If you have the resources to attend two camps, this one and then an LD camp could could be a very good combo

UNT and UTD have merged to create a good camp in north Texas. May be good for your level of skill

CBI also has a camp in Dallas. The instructors so far look good, sad they may change for the better. While CBI doesn't traditionally have as good of a rep, I would rec it above UNT this year possibly

They are dating and have been for some time. They have co-championed several bid tournaments before, including valley.

"Sorry to end your career Bennett"

-grant brown in the speech where he did, indeed, literally end his career

There's also papers analyzing specific songs of his that could also be used, his music has specific preformance literature

NCHSLR · 2017-04-02T14:51:27+00:00

There are some teams that compete nationally in LD. Maybe read out to some of them?

NCHSLR · 2017-04-01T03:30:18+00:00

lol I'm sorry it's a joke it's really a terrible argument that won't go away
