| Comments: | You should start your first speech with a clearer statement on what exactly you're advocating for. Ie how are you going to heavily regulate versus just going into internet porn bad. You get to it in the later portion of your first speech. I'd emphasize it more still and place it at the center right out of the gate. Speak a little louder. Good answers to the procedural argument. However, you should do more explaining what you did was good and beneficial for education instead of just saying that it wasn't unfair or bad for education. Why is the perm more desirable than the CP alone? Why is the CP bad / why doesn't it solve for the affirmative? |
Good speaking voice. You should provide cites within the available box to do so. I like your procedural argument since it wasn't clearly outlined in the first speech. However, you probably spend too much time in this argument in your first speech. Make a greater diversity of arguments. I would have liked to see more time outlining and defending your counter-plan. What would be better than the FBI? How does your CP solve it better? Also you should have cites for the FBI wouldn't have the authority to solve for it. "She says the CP wasn't effective but I'm here to say it is effective" is not an argument. Why? Answer the arguments about how it wouldn't be deficit spending and why your funding source is better. Also, you need to answer the perm (that we can do both). |
The decision is for the Proposition: Megan Durkin
Reason for Decision:
I vote for the proposition because the FBI does have the authority to shutdown websites based upon the arguments and evidence in the round; whereas the opposition just asserts that the FBI doesn't have evidence or proof of this. In regards to the CP I don't know why the proposition's plan couldn't be funded through the mechanism provided by the CP, which was the proposition's permutation argument that goes unanswered. With a CP you need to prove it's an opportunity cost to the proposition's plan and that they're not desirable to be done at the same time. I think overall the opposition should have spent more time fleshing out the CP and less time on the procedural argument, especially in their rebuttal/closing speech. Also having warrants and/or evidence to back up solvency attacks would be quite helpful in instances like this.
