The Great Debate

[xXbelovedXxx]

At school, we had to research and prepare for a debate. Naturally, I chose gay marriage. After the 20 minute debate, I realized that the opposing team only made two points (religion and "it's just plain wrong"), while I made several points, each proving any other opposing points wrong before they even had the chance to talk about it. Afterwards, my classmates were able to have an open discussion about the topic, during which I answered question that people had about homosexuals, laws, etc. So the point is, even though I won the debate by a landslide, I still feel uneasy and kind of unsatisfied with the entire event. I don't really know why...

I love debates. My first debate was where I had to support building a mall next to a river. Hated the idea, rocked the debate.

But perhaps it's just because gay marriage is a touchy subject to some, and you say you did well. You know the fear of succes effect? You do well on a touchy subject, I'd get queasy to.

It doesn't sound like they gave much thought into their side of the issue. I would feel unsatisfied to as it doesn't sound they actually tried to argue their side effectively. Congratulations on winning it though. smile
