I'm doing this for fun. :3

I feel your pain. I suggest caffeine although my leaders advise against it

Josie :3 Me too. I want to learn how to debate like Christopher from SME Confederate Flag Debate. I am already a good debater, but not as good as him.

same bro..... but i just put it on a second monitor and play minecraft while listening to the debate

i like to draw while listening to debates

Lool I'm watching it for my debate class, as a good debate example

thank you!

Miss Doe i Just joined yesterday, Im sorta smart ig, but im sure you could do it. At least give it a try you might really enjoy it

EVERYONE STARTS OUT BAD I PROMISE

@@shooting-raw5349 not exactly. I thought the same thing but once I learned the basics its pretty easy to write your case. it just takes time and practice

my thoughts exactly

(first speech)

Very well said. Although I do believe the asian guy won this one. Both very articulate and enlightening in their own ways.

@Plautus egal honestly the ability to turn a debate about US economics into an opportunity to flex that you're both racist and homophobic in one sentence is impressive and shows a lot of mental capacity. Can't wait to see you flex that when you participate in a debate championship and win like isaiah did

@@tiaspeece7945 shut the fuck up!!! It was a joke, he was trying to be ironic And different from all the intellects in this comment section Racism = funny if used right in my opinion. Can't wait for a reply ;)!!

gay

yeah that's the concept of offense and defense, you need both to win but when I judge I always consider defense above offense, meaning if one side did nothing but attack their opponent and never responded to their opponents attacks while their opponent only defended their case but made no attacks against them, I'd vote for the latter cuz at least they uphold what they said.

How is that ironic

That's a nonsensical statement. Reasons being: 1. There's no relevance there. 2. People don't need to have experience on an issue to have an opinion on it (do you think all politicians need experience on this issue to have an opinion? did you have opinions on having children without having had children before?).

@@nickm.5931 You're reading too much into it. No one said that those students needed to experience the subject to have an opinion on it. All that was observed was the irony of it.

That's an ad hominem fallacy, by trying to invalidate someone's argument by attacking the person as opposed to their argument.

@@acemxe8472 no its not. just as fuckwithnolames stated, youre reading too much into it trying to act smart while being blatantly wrong

Omg ur profile pic😂

did you really get a 1600

Where's Waldo?

oh my gosh you're right

Can you name them please? I'm trying to learn :)

Let’s hear it (:

It's been 3 months dude where is it at?????

@@geteheh3h3636 I think he was capping

@@neilmehta5573 nah man, I was chunking.

Yeah very petty

Yeah year after Benjamin Franklin was president

Don't think UBI is an easy thing to argue for

What is this about? I didn’t watch the whole video

Let me know if I'm wrong though.

Although this might not solve the issue of people being reliant on their employers, which means employers still won’t be forced to raise salaries, because the housing thay the government would give will be such a standard of living decrease that it wouldn’t be too different to completely loosing ur income

It doesn't matter how they speak it's what they say that matters dumb ass

Alex Nather he never said that the Asian guy deserved to win because of that. Just that he was more confident and well spoken. Learn to read dumb ass

Alex Nather - it actually matters a lot how they speak. You can say a lot of valid, strong points. But if your voice is shaking and you sound unsure, people aren’t going to be convinced.

@@XxRosexX96 wrong, this is Ohio, but in most real national circuit debates, people do this thing called "spreading" (speed read) and its exactly what it sounds like. Before a speech each debater emails out what is called a "doc" which is what they will say in the speech. The catch is that you can only use what you say to defend ur position.

Fred Vima - ok and...?

Not necessarily. Watch this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m5p9rb2QvLnDh6s.html&ab_channel=PremierDebateAmerica

I mean if you describe his school environment to be more advantageous and accommodating than yours then you should definitely see that as a plus for you. As it seems for him, he wasn’t able to put much effort into mastering his debate skills and had a higher likelihood of success in debate tourneys because of adequate third party assistance, it would be obvious and sound to say that you are the more competent one. Keep pushing my dude 💪 you’re already well self-aware.

​@@positivefraud3012 No, his school isn't more advantageous. I meant it's much smaller (at least 10 people graduating and approximately 15-20 students per grade) while my school has way more graders and graduates. And I hear his school is an easier learning environment. As far as I know, they make classes and assignments simpler. Smarter people don't need that school, when they can rise to an academic challenge and be in my town's public high school (that's one reason I can't believe I lost to this guy). I'm surprised his school even has a debate team; that and cross country running is it. My school has way more teams. As for this particular student, I don't know his backstory or methods to gain debate skills. But that's not the point; the point is, he just doesn't grasp information and instructions as quickly as anyone could. He is SLOW. I can totally see him scratching the top of his head with a finger while saying, "I don't get it." I'll admit I don't know what his grades are, but he once told me he had to switch out of his chemistry class to take his own simpler assignments to Special Ed. Yeah, that sounds about right. And that's why I'm horrified I lost to THIS guy in a debate. Debate teams are intellectual challenges for deep thinkers who got the brains to counter different brains. I CAN'T lose to a guy who's in a tiny charter school, slow at grasping in general, switched to Special Ed for chemistry (a class that is so easy, by the way), and is graduating at age TWENTY. That's just...ridiculous! So I gotta ask, does my losing to him in particular make me stupid?

I beg to differ, you lost fair and square it doesn’t mean your less smart , it only shows there is still room for you to grow and the thing about debate is, much like the law who has better points goes a long way than who is right or wrong, you just self examine yourself in the most fair way possible, only smart people can be smart enough to admit when they didn’t cut it. I can not convince you enough of your own brain power. It would be nice for you to go up against him again

Preparation prior to the debate levels the playing field. A person who isn't "smart" (i.e. quick witted, thinking "on his feet") can outperform a smart debater simply by preparing more in advance. If you are losing debates, you may not be carding enough evidence, writing enough briefs and especially writing and rehearsing blocks. You should be pre-preparing cross-ex trees. Pre-formulating and practicing arguments, counter-arguments and counter-counter-arguments (blocks) until they flow off your tongue with ease. "Smart" = realizing the amount of time for prep is "infinite" prior to the debate compared to the time allotted during the debate. Better prep prior to the debate reduces the mental overhead required during the debate, thus freeing your mind to focus on immediate tactics and overall debate strategy for the round. Hence, the better prepared you are, the "smarter" you will appear during the debate! Great debaters are always thinking about how to improve their debate performance outside the debate. Whether they are working out at the gym, playing a video game, running a cross-country race or reading a 19th century literary poem, they are focused on using that experience to be a better debater. They eat, sleep and drink debate. It permeates everything they do. They understand that there is always someone out there right now working harder at debate than they are and they do everything in their power to offset that disadvantage. They are never focused on "winning" in and of itself, rather they are concerned with demolishing each and every argument they encounter. They hunger and thirst for another argument to dismantle and crave learning and understanding in order to do just that. They understand the weaknesses in every argument they make better than their opponents. They understand that quitting is losing.

nah you just need to learn a bit more, lots of debaters were genuinely awful until junior or senior year

he conceded that bad ppl will get a UBI and that kinda screwed him over

r u dumb

his first weak was super weak, he got destroyed in cross ex on both sides and all of his arguments were refuted. his values were also begter upheld by the neg. he definitely lost

@MVP Ares I think "enslave" is the word you're looking for.

@@mta7444 you started out so level headed, too.

That's not hard to understand

I greed he should have called the other guy the first winner

but im really happy Isaiah won! congratulations that was amazing.

Sebastian dropped Isaiah's entire case and responses. He never clearly justified why everyone should get a UBI. He DID say it would overall help society, but he didn't warrant it enough with lots of evidence.

It’s better to speak to someone who does debate, because the match is just a small part of their debating experience.

@@nushnush9065 yeah, that makes more sense. my school doesn't have a debate club tho, and I don't know many people from other schools, so that may be kind of difficult. I guess I could find some random person online

@@sydneyloo5866 I Could have helped you but unfortunately I play on a different format.

@@nushnush9065 a different format? are there different types of debate clubs?

@@sydneyloo5866 yeah. There's Lincoln Douglas, public forum, British parliamentary, Asian parliamentary (I primarily debate with this format), etc etc.

Boo

@@alexanderschott Social PrintMoneyMocracy?

Hey, if the libertarian party can put up a more commercial canidate than gaff machine Johnson or Daryl the sputtering clown Perry is vote for them

bahah that is not true, natcir debate is empirically based

he sounded better vocalities

It honestly depends on the judge’s paradigm

It’s not a bad idea

It's all fun and games until inflation

hi RiceCrispy imagine judging people for doing debate

MarcusPlier11 imagine being gay and doing debate

hi RiceCrispy Why are you watching it then lol?

Hawkeye had to for my speech class
