<div class="IPBDescription">Junior Statesmen of America</div> J.S.A. is basically a sort of debate club focusing on U.S. political issues. I showed up at an intro meeting, but I didn't volunteer for the first debate, although I'll definitely be there. This will be the first year I've done any sort of debate, so does anyone have any advice? I'm familiar with the issues and some of the arguments, but I'm definitely no expert. Is there anywhere I can go to brush up on some of the facts, or even better - any advice on debate in general? What should I expect?

Remember, you cannot address your opponent directly and a red light will blink when you have 5 seconds.

Wait...

You'll have to post a follow up on this in a few months. I'm thinking of joinning the JSA, but I'm still on the fence.

Politics make me sick. Politicians make me hate humans.

Arrogance is no excuse for ignorance.
