The new appeal: Boredom

It was a drowsy afternoon on December 11, 1:30, at RDHS as team Dawson took on team Stephanie in a give-it-your- fight to determine if modern tragedies were better accepted or if Shakespearean tragedies are preferred. From off-topic irrelevant arguments, or lack there of, and discriminating photos, both sides with tooth and nail. The verdict? In my view the Stephanie’s pulled together as while as Rebecca, to claim the title as master debaters.

It seems the only real argument was made by head Stephanie herself, presenting the only argument in such a way that none could dispute it. Her quick words were too fast for the guys and they were soon left in the dust. Or perhaps too fast it seems, as no one else could understand a word she spoke. After a little while Ben stood tall and said with power “Appeal to boredom”, and took his seat to a chorus of cheers.

The insults rang back and forth, from blonde jokes by Dawson to “I have points and you don’t” by Stephanie. Logical fallacies made the air thick so that it was hard to breathe, so many fell asleep.

With the Bouchater on high alert the free for all turned into a full thrown shouting match, where once again no points were made by either side, and gave a lot of people headaches.

Although the hate was in air, the debate ended with love. Both sides had a group hug and shacked hands before exiting the room. While the rest of us cheered for it had ended. It set the bar, low, for the other groups to yet debate, may they do better.
