dielloI just got back from Oral Presentation where we had our first debates. We were forced into two teams for two subjects, so that's four teams all together.
Debate 1: Manditory Drug Tests in Schools.
I wasn't for or against the point, but I was put into the "for" group and I tought we did well. I'm actually glad I wasn't in the "against" group because although there was one or two people in the five person group that had very good points, there was the annoying woman who thinks she knows shit but is really talking out of her ass to sound smart. She said that all good parents know if their kid is on drugs. I wanted to bash her teeth in with the overhead projector. Each team had very good closing statements, except their team's closing statement went way too long, which, most people know, is the best way to slip in something stupid.
Debate 2: Capitol Punishment
Now it's the other two teams turn to debate. I had so much to say during this one, and one of the girls on my team actually stood up and started debating right along with them, even though she wasn't suppose to.
This debate was so out of line, by which I mean really disorganized and messy, especially for the "pro" team.
The team against CP had a very good opening statement, and oh how disappointed I was to hear the retaliating statement from the other team: "so, what? Does that mean all these criminals are allowed to run around free?" What. An. Idiot. Made me wonder if they even knew what capitol punishment is!! These people had clearly not done research. One guy was being a complete jackass throughout the whole debate, spouting off false 'biblical' statements about an eye for an eye... (which I wanted to step in and say that in Book of Matthew, the phrase was to turn the other cheek, the opposite of what he just said). And then he kept shouting about how that's not how our gov't is running... well, buddy, that's not what this debate is about, it's about changing things.
Grr!
And I'm pro CP!! These guys had the WORST defense. ugh...
Anyway, in other news,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wcsfallen just reminded me of this journalist of some sort who came to our humble town Palmyra and declaired that our town needed a Starbucks. STARBUCKS, PEOPLE!!! Shit... this was after she said we also needed a drug store and grocery store. Guess she missed the part of town (right across the street from the newspaper co.) where there was a Breens (iga, whatever) and a Rite Aid. Blind retard. No nazi coffee place here, thank you very much.
