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.

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.
