A. read and read and read and understand..read magazines and newspapers about the current events...most especially if it is a parliamentary debate...because the topic is only given thirty minutes or so before the debate..right..so you've got to read news articles and watch tv programs which are related to the current events..while the the other debaters are delivering their speeches,,listen carefully and be sure that you know what they are talking about so that you can make a factual and firm statement..your mind is easily change because maybe you know little about the topic...

A. there are 3 essential qualities of a debater. Manner, matter, method. Manner- how convincing the speaker is. A speaker can be lying out right, but if he looks convincing enough no one will question his logic. To become good at this speak in front of a mirror or your family and ask for comments. Matter- this is what the speaker knows, in debating it should be a little bit of everything. To become good at this you need to read, watch and study. any topic. Note: false matter is when a debater lies but is accepted, by the debaters. You can get away with this if you sound very convincing. Method: This is a technical quality, because you need a specific debate template to attain clarity.

Asked by MournfulBeauty - Fri Aug 21 18:37:08 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The only two I can remember are BM and DA. The Boston Massacre is really a dirty tactic, where the debater starts listing every possible fact they can think of to totally overwhelm the opponent - in the hope that they are confused and end up only picking a couple of points to counter. It's akin to shooting a thousand bullets and hoping that by sheer volume some of them will hit. The Devil's Advocate came from the Vatican and canonization of new Saints. When candidate Bob came up for discussion, they found that it was all one-sided... here's the reasons Bob should be a Saint. They therefore created the person to argue against it - the Devil's Advocate - who, no matter if they agreed with a point or no - would argue against it. It is a… [cont.]

Q. So, as far as I can tell, Slobodan Milosevic wrote a letter to his judges debating the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, in which (in 5 points) he stated that the trial was essentially a sham, as the ICTY had no jurisdiction, and that he was being mistreated...

A. I used to like to debate the purpose of life. If you move beyond "God's Love" you can find some good common ground. I also like to debate with those who are trying to prove the Christ never existed, because there is plenty of non-biblical written evidence to support it. (Obviously, I can't prove He is the Son of God and ressurected.) But it's nice to feel right about that.

A. As an actual law student (and it's painfully obvious that the other answerers aren't)... No. Very few law students could debate their way out of a wet paper bag. Quite a few of them hate public speaking. And it won't matter one whit for 90% of us. The majority of lawyers will never, ever find themselves inside a courtroom, especially in the United States. Or if they do, they won't be the ones speaking. In the corporate world, people pay lawyer so that they DON'T go to court. More often, lawyers will be reading cases, reviewing contracts, drafting memos, writing letters, writing pleadings, and generally giving advice. Even when you get to the trial stage, there are often lawyers who are called in just to handle the trial work who… [cont.]

A. You can take time to savor the parts you like. You can go back and reread if you think you missed the importance of something. You can skip parts you don't like, yet go back to read them if it proves necessary later. If you like the book, you can find out if the author has written anything else and enjoy that, too, later.

A. I would honestly have to say Uncharted. It takes some of the things from all these games and turns it literally into a summer blockbuster version of a game. The rest of these games aren't even that great except for Assasins Creed (even though that gets old kind of fast).
