Debating, Friday September 28

[certaintrouble.livejournal.com]

Chuck got into the classroom a few seconds after the bell rung. He didn’t seem happy with this time. Too soon, probably. That meant more time teaching.



“All right, class. Today is your first practical debating session. Today’s debates will count for credit. Winners get A’s, losers get F’s.” He gave the class a stern look. “As I told you before, losing should be avoided at all costs. This grading system is the perfect incentive to make sure you all fight your hardest.”

Chuck passed out debating topics. “Break off into pairs, pick a topic, and go at it. I’ll walk around the classroom and keep an eye on your progress. Come up after class and tell me who won. And no arguing over who was victorious. If there hasn’t been a solid victory by the end of class, then you’re both failures.” He shrugged. “Sounds a little dog-eat-dog, I know. But that’s just the way life is. Go!”

Willow Rosenberg will rock her debate like a CHAIR!

Lecture

It isn't much of a lecture, but you can still ask questions.

Annette listened and wrote scribbly things down in her notebook.

Jim wondered how early he should break out the communist card.

Cher was looking very excited for her debate. She'd missed this over the summer. Was that wrong?

1st Topic

Belly Buttons: Innies vs Outies

Re: 1st Topic

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

"Innies are clearly better. Outies are for untidy pigs and anyone who disagrees is a Communist."

Very early, apparently.

Re: 1st Topic

"Innies are for fat people who can't control their weight and anyone who disagrees is not only a communist but will get their head beaten by me," Mel said stepping up to the plate.

2nd Topic

[certaintrouble.livejournal.com]

Incest: Is it really that bad?

Re: 2nd Topic

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"This is terrible! And therefore that bad!"

Re: 2nd Topic

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"It depends on the kind we're talking about," Willow said. "For instance there are some who might view it favorably in a fictional context."

Presidents: Kennedy vs Nixon

[girlzippo.livejournal.com]

"You're kidding, right?" Charlie blinked. "Clearly, Nixon was the better husband."

Smackdown: Custer vs Cortez

[not_in_the_book]

"Custer is clearly the superior," Ronan began, "and if you can't understand that, then I fear greatly for your sanity."

Chuck vs Matilda (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/1358213.html#cutid1)

Re: Suck-Up

[dark_slippy_thing]

Valentine crossed his arms and decided to be very firm on this point.

"I say Matilda would win. On the grounds of... I do not even know who she is. But she wins because I say she wins."

This had absolutely nothing to do with the whole 'mock Valentine' thing the other week. Really.

After class

[certaintrouble.livejournal.com]

Chuck was waiting for results. Bring the forward.

Re: After class

[dark_slippy_thing]

Valentine walked up to Chuck, looking oh so very serious.

"The results of my debate- I chose the Chuck versus Matilda one, of course- Apparently, Chuck lost versus Matilda. Therefore, you fail, and everyone in the class wins, thus passing."

It made perfect sense to Valentine.

Re: After class

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

"Mel admitted defeat (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/1536561.html?thread=94297905#t94297905) with innie vs outie," Jim said, walking up to Chuck.

OOC

The incest debate topic is kinda cannon for Chuck to toss in. I really hope I didn't offend anyone. Please let me know if I crossed a line there, okay? Chuck's cannon is to be offensive... >_<;

[palestshadow.livejournal.com]

I am an idiot, in that I completely missed the chance to have Naminé make a gratuitous rock you like a hurricane (http://www.ansemretort.org/ansemretort/index.html?comic=313) joke.

Re: OOC

[dark_slippy_thing]

If, for whatever reason, Valentine's wild logic earns him a detention, so be it. :)
