minus-square@Obsessionlink10•edit-21 year agoI did debate club in highschool and early college, but it was parliamentary style debate. I didn’t observe that much bullshit, so I’m guessing the US competitive debate style is different
minus-squareblanketswithsmallpoxlinkfedilink10•1 year agoNah that’s how debate club is everywhere. Middle, high school, and college. The debates you see on TV are designed for whatever channel it’s on though. Local councils are basically what you see on Parks and Rec. It’s where the OG crazies shine since they’ve mostly been banned from the internet lol.
minus-square@Obsessionlink5•1 year agoWhat I meant was that during my debating years here in Canada, I didn’t see that much “stage performances” or “rhetorical tricks.” I did 4 years of Canadian National Debate Format and 3 years of British Parliamentary debate, and is was overall a very pleasant experience.
