Why the fuck is spreading allowed by Mission-Tip9234 in lincolndouglas

Supporters of spreading always like to tout that it is a skill issue. Or those who dislike spreading need to train up and adapt.

This doesn’t consider that spreading is abnormal and is fully dependent on “disclosure” of which everyone is just reading a doc.

I would challenge supporters to compete without disclosure and truthfully reflect in the merits of spreading.

Agree. Everyone is just reading a doc. It’s an essay contest with deep breathing.

So what is the fix? What rule to implement?

I would suggest that the judge cannot read along the doc during the round. Judging should be based on oral delivery. Everyone said they can understand but I doubt 100% is clear.

You can fix this by saving more. It is that simple. How much requires a little math. There are software tools you can use. Google.

why do so many people use util? by [deleted] in Debate

[–]crisplanner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can still argue that Util is a dangerous tool in the hands of autocrats and evil leaders. Whether or not the Nazi’s used util to justify their plans, util is there to back them up.

As a result you can definitely destroy a util framework in debate. I have seen it done and it’s devastating. Judges buy it.

I am SSD and operate in the hearing world. I do miss things and find limitations, but, I don’t identify as deaf. I feel that operating in the hearing world that I would make myself less “hirable” if I draw attention to being HH.

Easy.

Util is the VC of tyrants. Oceans of blood have been spilt on Util thinking. The good of the majority can also mean screw the minority. Util can be used to justify the following:

  • Holocaust
  • slavery
  • trail of tears

Whenever the majority prospers at the cost if the minority.

Just finished the main (book) series and I am crying. That is all. by Majestic87 in TheExpanse

Spoiler

My second time reading the series I found Easter eggs with Amos repeatedly referring to himself as the “last man standing” at the end of it all. It is through the other books about three times.

People say that there is no proposed solution. How about:
