I won a debate
Oct. 28th, 2008 02:10 amIn my argumentation & debate class, we've finally got around to our first debates. I chose gay marriage as my topic debate. I managed to hide my nervousness and bring out my anger about it. I ended up winning the debate largely due to ineffectiveness of my opponent, her use of 2 fallacies, and my being well versed on the topic. I think her delivery was weak, too. She was quiet and didn't sound very confident, while I got out there, outed myself, and came off as very confident. Her rebuttals were weak, too. Just some very weak questions and no real argument in 30 seconds, while I managed to cut down every single one of her points and ended up running over the time limit for rebuttals (2 minutes).
