After a prolonged three years of attempting to quit debate, I finally found the will to do it. I had a terrible experience in Chicago. It resulted in me being depressed for a couple of days, something I never want to experience again. So, here it goes...

I started debate in hopes that it would be like mock trial, as nerdy as that sounds. It seemed like it could be fun and educational as well. That's mainly what kept me in it, the educational part. But the people, oh god, they were terrible. Imagine 50 crackheads in a cramped cafeteria and you have debate. Still, the educational value of debate seemed to negate the bad stuff about it. But then those crackheads started popping up on our team. First it was one girl, then another, until pretty soon our debate team had gone through a period of incest I like to call 'The incest period.' During the incest period, people became crazy, started to touch each other in inappropriate places, and eventually started doing some nasty. Keep in mind that I never became involved in these...inappropriate...activitives, but rather observed as an outsider would have, cracking jokes along the way. That's another aspect of debate that kept me in it. As bad as it may sound to those of you with a "conscience", I really enjoyed making fun of people constantly. I would always turn around people's words. It was when I was wittiest to say the least.

However, debate started to get very boring. I hated everyone in it, I hated losing, and I absolutely hated not having any friends in debate, either from other schools or from my own school. The crackheads started doing meth ampehtamines, and the incesters started sodomizing each other, and everyone sniffed paint cans. I'm joking, of course, but you have to understand that I was surrounded by crazy people. All of them had their stupid inside jokes, and most of them were the type of people who had no friends at their own schools. Perhaps debate is the type of activity designed for those type of people who have no friends at school, but it's not the type of activity for me.

The moral of the overview is: DON'T JOIN DEBATE UNLESS YOU ARE A CRACKHEAD OR SOMEONE WITHOUT A SOCIAL LIFE. With that said, there will be minimal comments on my lj because no one reads it, which is further evidence that debate stunts social relationship development.
