DEBATE
I AM REAL EXCITED ABOUT OR DEBATE TEAMS. I'M NOT SURE I WANT TO STATE MY OPINION OPENLY. ABORTION IS SUTCH A HOT TOPIC THAT EVERY ONE FEELS THEIR CHOICE TO BE PRO OR CON IS THE CORRECT CHOICE FOR EVERY ONE TO FOLLOW. WHAT I MEAN IS EVERY INDIVIDUAL FEELS HE KNOWS THE CORRECT ANSWER. SOME ARE TO INTO GETTING INVOLVED IN OTHER PEOPLES BUSINESS THAT IT UPSETS ME TO MUCH. THERE MAY BE A TIME IN CLASS WHEN WE ARE DEBATING WHERE I MAY HAVE TO STEP OUT OF CLASS SO I DONT SAY SOMETHING RUDE OR MAKE SOME ONE CRY WITH MY SARCASM. AT THE SAME TIME I FEEL IT IS A GREAT OPPERTUNITY TO SEE WHAT EVERY ONE ELSE THINKS, JUST AS LONG AS NO ONE PUSHES THEIR DEBATE FEELINGS ON ONE ANOTHER.

Please, everyone, remember that good people and good friends often disagree. To attack or argue about the person who has the idea is not relevant to debate. On top of being unkind and impolite, the attacker appears irrational and ill-informed, and does a disservice to his or her possibly otherwise well reasoned position.
It's true that the topics we will debate are controversial. That's why you chose them, isn't it? The debate would be dull if everyone were to agree.
But I understand that such topics make people emotional! Please do not insult each other! Argue about ideas, not the people who have them. And do leave class for a few minutes or longer if that is necessary to remain polite.
I think the debates will be interesting. I hope that when we debate that people won't argue towards are own opinons..I agree Mr. Crandall that we should all be polite to each other...
Most important......just remember its for a grade....
I agree...it is just for a grade. we will respect everyone's opinions, but remember it is a debate so we will be arguing against what you believe,that is the whole concept of this assignment. right? i think if you strongly believe in the side you are debating on it shouldn't matter what the opposing side says. just a thought.
