I must apologize to voters in advance, as my roommates were busy, and I did not want to distract them, be distracted, or have the voters distracted by my roommates, I was forced to do this outside. Unfortunately, it was raining. This is one of the many faults of video debating. The quotes I used are avail on the youtube page, this is yet another inconvenience.

I like how in round one you talk about facial expressions, and yet your face does not change at all while you're reading.

Duco reminds me of my Art History T.A. whom I had a huge crush on. Haha.

i think its cool for the people who want see videos instead like if some one is cleaning their room they can put there speakers and listen instead of waiting and reading people have impatiens in reading sometimes too.

lol that is dumb... i agree on allowing video debates but you can totally see how we suck more in real life debating then online text responses... notice how both debators read out a pre-arranged script and mess up a couple times...

to cut down on time, just watch all video responses simultaneously :)

Disagree about who won though, con offered no reasons as to why they shouldn't, just why he shouldn't.
