Let’s Play a Game…

This is an actual email thread between my debate teammates…guess which one I am!

Looks like we have 4 points to refute this week.

Some of these are going to be hard to disprove. Shall we just split them up & each post individually sometime before end of day tomorrow? The first two are sort of the same, so I think that can be lumped in as one. #3 seems hardest & 4 seems easiest, but I will take any of them - let me know how you want to divide.

I’ll take #3 - it actually doesn’t seem too bad if you look at it in context to the actual debate resolution, which states the cameras would be used in a systematic random sampling schedule. Their argument assumes you’d be able to pull up a video for anyone, at any time, in any situation. That’s not quite how it would be working.

I’ll have my rebuttal up by tomorrow night.

I will take which ever one is left over. I really do not have a preference.

ok, i’ll take 1 & 2, i guess.

I’ll have #4 up tonight then.

I honestly have to say, I think women like my teammates are responsible for the so-called “glass ceiling.” Who wants someone in charge who can’t make a freaking decision on which stupid debate point they want to rebut? The hilarious thing? The one I picked wound up being the easiest to pick apart.

    Student #2. True random sampling almost never occurs.

gap analysis: An official assessment of how something got screwed up; also functions as a form of penance for those who have screwed up, who will ensure their commitment to a thorough gap analysis to account for their commitment to a thorough gap analysis to account for their sins, though probably they are hoping some other crisis will make everyone forget they're supposed to be doing one.
