I'M SO EXCITED
Margo and I are partners (because we're normally partners in debate club and tournaments and everything) and we're Opposition for this really hard motion:
This House believes that drones should be illegal in warfare.
I seriously don't know anything about drones, but all of the topics require research. We get winter break to do it too :)
I reeeeally love debate and I can't wait to start debating!
We're debating in CNDF, and I'm more used to that than anything else. I recently went to a World Schools Style debate where you debate in 3 person teams and the roles are a bit different, so that was really weird (or actually different might be a better word) for me. It might be a little bit harder to switch back to CNDF mode.
Oh also, I just realized that CNDF is adapted from World's Style. Margo was just like "THIS BLOWS MY MIND, IT'S LIKE A PLOT TWIST" because she thought it was the other way around. I thought it was kind of ironic too because most debates/styles have 2 person teams (that's the main difference between CNDF and Worlds) and yet CNDF is adapted from Worlds... whereas one would think Worlds was a variation of CNDF because it seems like CNDF would be the norm based on all the other styles of debate with 2 person teams.
Also, coincidentally, we were talking about POI's in debate club today, how and when to offer and accept. It was actually a lot more complicated than I expected, because last year I debated in Cross-Ex which doesn't have POI's, so it's a totally new concept for me. POI's are really important though, so that's something I really want to improve on.
This was me (and Margo) when we started debate today:
As you can see, I'm really excited for debate. :P
