I’m disappointed this topic was chosen, because I was excited to hear debaters make creative, innovative arguments that I had never heard before.
Scott Phillips

Movement to keep debating Nov/Dec topic?
Rebar Niemi

at this point three US spec ought topics in a row = collusion or a strong voting bloc.

anyone who voted in the bloc, care to explain the reasoning?

WHAT’S THAT YOU SAY? RETREAD?

HUH WEIRD FEELS LIKE THE TOPICS ARE GUIDED BY THE INVISIBLE HAND TO BE THE SAME BORING THINGS OVER AND OVER. THE MARKET HAS CHOSEN!

  Yeah, there is no collusion. Just a lot of coaches/teams who would rather keep debating the same things over and over. I was actually surprised that this exact topic hasn’t been used since 2003 nationals. I thought we’d had it more recently.

  I came here with the express purpose of reading Rebar’s commentary, and was not disappointed.

  Is this just a perverse attempt at being green?

It’s as if the drugs topic and the juvies topic had sex and gave birth to this

  So, this is what happens when juveniles do drugs and have sex?
  - Guest
