Policy

A sad husk of debate. Once consisting of eloquent remarks and compelling speeches, it has turned into a glorified research session in which kids present their months of research on how pretty much anything the other side does will lead to nuclear war in a span of eight minutes. While many policy debaters boast about their ability to speak at speeds unimaginable to the average person, this may be considered a sign of denial; after all, if speaking so no one can understand you is the only element of debate you have, it's not much of debate, is it?

Tim: Hey Jim, did you see that policy round?

Jim: Yeah, what the fuck were they talking about?

Tim: All I could understand was that helping stop global warming leads to nuclear war. They were talking so quickly.

Jim: Yeah, no one wants to hear that shit.
