4/8/2014 2:43:24 AM Posted: 4 years ago I would advise anyone who has the time to watch and vote on this debate. It was amazing, and def worth the watch
Its larz vs Whiteflame in a debate about legalizing drugs in sports http://www.debate.org... The link in the debate was wrong so here is the correct one, in case you choose to vote. I am really advocating for some good votes on this. It was a great debate |

I am 100% sure that this is due to a lack of experience in Pro on impromptu debate compared to Con but I could be wrong. |

If you don't think I connected with you well, that's fine, but it has nothing to do with a lack of background. And I don't think I spent any time screaming into anyone's ear - I raised my voice a little, but that's pretty harsh, not to mention that I disagree that I "created straw mans." |

So what. Most people on this site will probably give that aura. |

I highly doubt you even went through the entire video. Have some validation that you actually listened to the entire debate. You just said he spoke poorly. Even if that were a fact, it would not effect anything without any viable reason to vote against him. Solidify the stance and at least compare the arguments that were presented. |

4/9/2014 12:58:25 PM Posted: 4 years ago Watched the whole debate last night before hitting the hay. I'm not voting because I don't believe I have the experience to pass judgement on two debaters who are both so much more advanced than myself in ability and presentation. I just wanted to say that I appreciate you guys doing this and honestly believe both of you to be extremely well-versed in impromptu debates. Watching debates like this provides members like myself with a good opportunity to see the styles and presentations of more advanced debaters. I learn alot from watching debates like this and plan on utilizing the skills I see in both of you when it comes time for me to ascend to the ranks of video debates :)
Thanks again y'all, and best of luck to both of you during the voting period. I look forward to watching more of these in the future!
