A day in the life of a Democrat, 2050

Our forebears got along without leaf blowers for hundreds of years. Debaters, which we are, got along without links, notes and Siri for hundreds of years.
That is my point, and can you tell me why we need links when debating? Using sites for cribbing and preparing is one thing, but then bringing all that ‘material’ to overload the forum surely takes the fun out of it.🎭

Yes, for cribbing, like I said.

Whew.
I think I will send you a PM with about 20 links to read which support my holding that the government should not be your Nanny. You read them while I go play golf 🙂

@Suzianne
That WILL be the situation if repubs keep minorities from voting.
And then they use the argument, WHAT IS WRONG WITH VOTER ID?
Like that is a killer in itself.
They argue from distraction.

And women and blacks "got along" without the vote for quite a while, too.

Is that what you mean?

Having more rights than your other worthy citizens gives you a woody, doesn't it?

Progress includes equality, whether you like it or not.

Evidence defined. Debaters are responsible for the validity of all evidence they introduce in the debate. Evidence includes, but is not limited to: facts, statistics, or examples attributable to a specific, identifiable, authoritative source used to support a claim. Unattributed ideas are the opinion of the student competitor and are not evidence.
B. Oral source citation. In all debate events, contestants are expected to, at a minimum, orally deliver the following when introducing evidence in a debate round: primary author(s)’ name (last) and year of publication. Any other information such as source, author’s qualifications, etc. may be given, but is not required.

I get the impression you’ve never actually been in a debate nor read up on the rules for them.
