<p>Are there any CC policy debaters out there? I have a lot of questions about policy debate and really need to ask someone. Please PM me if you are a policy debater/know about policy debate. Thanks!</p>
<p>I do LD :3</p>
<p>^me too! but policy is a completely different world haha.</p>
<p>@cs12345: I sent you a pm.</p>
<p>@billymc: haha yes I am aware that ld and policy are completely different, which is why I said that policy is a completely different world lol.</p>
<p>Do you mind if I pm you about policy questions?</p>
<p>Deleted my comment because the comment above it was deleted, rendering it useless. Sure, I know a lot about it, but I didn’t get to do it after I spent so long preparing, because my local league didn’t have enough people doing policy, so they kept canceling it.</p>
<p>Oh okay my bad haha.</p>
<p>I pm’ed you billymc btw.</p>
<p>I do Public Forum…Is that the same as Policy?</p>
<p>“I do Public Forum…Is that the same as Policy?”</p>
<p>It is policy “lite”</p>
<p>My coach forbade me from policy because she deemed it “Uneducational”, so now i do LD. I think it turned out pretty well, i got a TOC bid last year.</p>
<p>LD all the way! Haha. I considered switching to policy because I’m great at spreading and interpreting information quickly, plus I’d be one of the only ones on my team willing to do all the work. But I decided against it… it’s just too objective, not enough subjective. Plus, I always have to bring John Locke or Immanuel Kant into the round somehow, and it’d be pretty difficult to pull that off in a Policy round… :)</p>

<p>My district does not offer “Policy” at all I guess. What is the difference between it an Public Forum, specifically?</p>
<p>I really want to know more about pofo too haha. I considered it but in the end went with policy.</p>
<p>Policy- Longer Speeches, More evidence based, Faster (incredibly faster) speeches, HUGE learning curve, Weighing calculi, Dis-ad’s, More cards based, Has theory, kritik, ect.</p>
<p>Public Forum- Short Speeches (longest is the 4 minute constructive), Very research based, speaking style matters, easy to pick up, no weighing, no kritiks, theory, ect.</p>
<p>Okay, x.sunny, just got your PM today, and took some time to write back. Hope the information is useful. </p>
<p>Also, yeah, big difference from public forum. I hate it when people try to spread in public forum or LD, though maybe I shouldn’t, since I beat them every time with eloquence (those judges aren’t trained to deal with the spreading, so they just think it’s stupid). Anyway, I like all of them (+ Congress and SpAr, once a year).</p>
