You in a structured debate?

[Randy]

Have you taken part in a structured debate? What issue was debated? If not, do you think you would be good at debating in a formal way?

I have not, though I think it would be an interesting thing to do, definitely. I'd be terrified of not being prepared enough, I think, that and public speaking...eww

Nope, I have never taken part in them myself. I used to quite like listening to structured debates about well debates within the social sciences and politics. It was quite interesting. A few podcasts cover some really engaging ideas. No idea how I would go myself. It would depend what kind of audience there was. I imagine I might go better if it was with an anthropological audience hahaha. But would depend on how calm and confident I felt.

no, and no

debates = needing to be with others. something I'm not good at

 

[MamaFrankie]

Yes. I was in the school debating society. I can certainly hold my own. I love debate.

I never have! ...and I wouldn't want to. I hate confrontation.
