O.K Hello all im going into 9th grade debate and i want to be the best there is so i would love some help from some people. if you could help me any body that would be cool.
I thank my opponent for this debate and the readers for the opportunity. I stand in negation to the resolution, "help me with debate." As The Instigator and Pro for this debate, my opponent has the Burden of Proof to affirm the resolution. If I can show otherwise, the resolution shall be negated. I shall not help my opponent with debate. Now that I am currently engaged in a debate with my opponent, if I were to help him with debate, he may be able to create better and stronger arguments that would defeat mine. I would not want to help an opponent in a debate, for my opponent would have a better chance of winning the debate. If I help my opponent with debate, he could eventually become good enough to destroy me in future debates. I would not set myself up for a loss or disadvantage, so logically I would not help my opponent with debate. I thank my opponent and the readers for the experience. I urge a Con vote, being that the resolution is negated. ============================================== If my opponent really did not want to debate the resolution but instead seek advice, I shall present that now. My opponent quoted: "O.K Hello all im going into 9th grade debate and i want to be the best there is so i would love some help from some people. if you could help me any body that would be cool." Here are some tips on becoming a better and stronger debater: 1. Research the topic of the debate well. Research helps you understand the concepts of a debate topic and can provide significant amounts of information that can be utilized for stronger argumentation. a) Make sure the websites/sources you use are credible and are relevant to what the debate is covering. 2. Create logical and consistent arguments. If you are having trouble piecing the arguments together, simply think about the most important arguments you need to include and focus on them. 3. Providing examples and scenarios may be beneficial depending on the topic of the debate. It is greatly appreciated when the readers/an audience can relate to an example or really capture the essence of what is being targeted. 4. Do not come across as spiteful or arrogant. You need to appear intelligent, respectful, and appreciative. It can be a huge turn-off for a debater if he/she is looked down upon because of faults in personality. 5. Relax and enjoy yourself. Debate is about learning and creating different viewpoints and different issues. Stressing out only makes it harder to debate effectively. *I would like to note that if my opponent really did want to debate the resolution, then forget the advice and only look at my argument. If my opponent only wanted to use this debate for pointers, then my advice should be taken into consideration.* ========================================== |

Thank you very much for your help and now hopefully i will be a really good debater just like my brother and his debate team you may no him he is really good his room is full of metals and trophys
I thank my opponent for the response. My opponent quoted: "Thank you very much for your help and now hopefully i will be a really good debater just like my brother and his debate team you may no him he is really good his room is full of metals and trophys" It appears that my opponent has been satisfied with my advice. Since my opponent has not refuted my argument regarding the resolution, I heavily urge a Con vote. Thank you. I am pleased I have been able to satisfy my opponent. I await a rebuttal. |

o..k so what is the best stuff to talk about right now in this mess of the world i'm thing it's the econmoy? what do you think it is
I thank my opponent for the response. My opponent quoted: "o..k so what is the best stuff to talk about right now in this mess of the world i'm thing it's the econmoy? what do you think it is" Discussing the "best" things to talk about is subjective. I personally enjoy engaging in conversations regarding philosophy and morality. However, this is irrelevant to the debate itself. I heavily urge a Con vote. My opponent has not provided a single argument, but I have. Also, my opponent was satisfied with my response, proving that I have done my job. Thank you for the debate, I heavily urge a Con vote. |
