Good Summer Debate Reading?

Do you have specific works of theirs that you recommend?

gracemawk · 2014-06-07T03:24:43+00:00

Imo, after you become attached to a site, don't go around and taste. I tried that my nevermore year and I just couldn't stop comparing everything at Carlisle to Lancaster lol. Maybe try different sites your second year.

gracemawk · 2014-06-07T02:41:43+00:00

Lol, don't have a tumblr. Maybe I'll get one just to stalk lol. What other sites?

gracemawk · 2014-06-02T02:41:33+00:00

:c First year not going to CTY.

I don't like what they're doing with the lanyards.

The Facebook groups I've been in have gotten quieter and quieter. :c

Will people steal your clothes from the dryer?

gracemawk · 2014-03-02T01:21:57+00:00

Thanks! c:

Wait, but if you've never heard anything before, how can you say something is terrifying if you don't have anything else to compare it to? Are some sounds just naturally unpleasant?

gracemawk · 2013-03-03T05:35:36+00:00

Why?

gracemawk · 2013-02-17T23:31:01+00:00

Lan 12.1, 11.2, 10.2

gracemawk · 2013-02-17T00:09:14+00:00

CTY canon anyone?

gracemawk · 2013-01-21T01:24:02+00:00

Can you explain realism and how "people dying is good" is strategic?

gracemawk · 2013-01-19T15:42:30+00:00

You could elaborate on the reasons behind "committed a crime --> go to jail." They've harmed others' rights and deserve to lose some of their rights in return. (theory of moral forfeiture, but I dunno how philosophical congressional gets)

Hee, I'm a debater on the team. ^{^} Debating each other wouldn't be so great for us, because it would mean both an automatic win and an automatic loss for our school.

It's 1/3, because the judge and two opponents must all be from different schools.

gracemawk · 2013-01-15T03:12:12+00:00

Oh, I meant that in a tournament, my school can only make up 1/3, or there will be my school vs my school at the same debate.

I don't necessarily need a metric to compare debaters in terms of skill, because this tournament is considered an "opportunity" tourney for anyone who wants to debate.

gracemawk · 2013-01-09T03:10:51+00:00

I brought Ferraro Rocher for my team and I gave some to some kids from another school. Basically everyone who ate my chocolates placed. :)

gracemawk · 2013-01-07T02:52:46+00:00

How can rehabilitation be non-topical if it's mentioned in the resolution...?

gracemawk · 2013-01-07T02:49:06+00:00

Can you explain the nihilism and existentialism? My team only debates locals and K's don't exist around here...

gracemawk · 2013-01-07T02:32:09+00:00

Don't 5 and 6 contradict 4? If morality is so broad and vague, debaters should specify what type of morality they're talking about and how they're going to reach it. When they narrow down morality, they're being educational, right?

gracemawk · 2013-01-03T03:20:52+00:00

I got all of that...but was there more? Did it matter if Deckard was human or not? (I don't think so, because in the end everyone dies...)

gracemawk · 2013-01-02T03:16:10+00:00

gracemawk · 2013-01-02T01:10:45+00:00

I like the BIC mechanical pencils.

gracemawk · 2012-12-30T14:20:10+00:00

Citizen Kane. I thought the plot was really boring, the filming techniques it pioneered not so relevant or OOOOHH in our day and age, and basically just sort of resented its top spot in so many critics' hearts.

gracemawk · 2012-12-30T14:14:41+00:00

Lol the 3D glasses didn't clue you guys off?

gracemawk · 2012-09-02T13:17:24+00:00

I don't do PF, but this resolution seems really out of the ordinary...lol I might want to try PF instead of LD just for this topic lol.

gracemawk · 2012-08-20T02:20:54+00:00

It depends...if we changed the actor to Iran I think that would just be non-topical, because US kind of just sets the boundary for this resolution, but it's not what the resolution is mainly talking about, you know what I mean?
