@whiteflame

thx for the suggestions

Good job to both sides. I respect the fact that no one forfeited.

Ah well.

@Vader

I am!

The doctor is victorious!

Got through it faster than I anticipated.

Can’t promise I’ll finish this tomorrow, but at least by Monday you’ll have a vote.

As someone who has done a lot of debates where I received a topic and a side on that topic and was told to debate it with 20 minutes or prep, I can understand your point, but I also think that’s part of what makes debates like these invigorating. You’re not likely to get a really unbalanced topic in this tournament (I’ll tell you now, there is no right or wrong side on this one), and not having an established position on the topic is actually a huge benefit when you don’t know what side you’ll be placed on. So many of us have become so picky about our topics on here that we lose the opportunity to have debates like this that push us to dig into a new topic, but if you’re finding yourself BSing your way through your arguments, then maybe this is an issue with how you approach new topics. If you’re a blank slate on an issue, then dig into it until you feel confident you can argue your side. There’s plenty of material online for this topic, you just need to spend an hour or two investing yourself in that research.

Man, I hate debating topics I have little understanding of.
I usually end up bull******* the debate.
Not that my sides right or wrong, or even that I'm saying the right or wrong words,
But I don't 'know if I'm saying the right or wrong words, 'or if my side is right or wrong.

Well, I haven’t kept up on this one, so if it does finish in the next couple of days, it might be a bit before I get the vote up, i.e. it almost certainly won’t be as fast of a turnaround as with Seldiora v. SupaDudz.

I actually don't really have an opinion on schools.
