I took debate for a little bit. Only got into one. I remember the topic was "Which should one value more, the quality, or sanctity of life?" I was debating quality.
I researched both arguments and when the day came started with the idea that quality did not only pertain to materialistic terms, and even if one values sanctity, it is the quality or depth of that sanctity which will matter most.
My opponent, the big guy with the rep of being unable to beat, countered that the question was invalid, declared himself the winner, and sat down. To which I replied, "You can't do that? You did not win, you had no counter argument, and that counts as a you conceded!"
Everyone congratulated the man on yet another win, and since the teacher never stepped in to say anything, I quit the class. Too politicy.
Seriously I was livid.
