Speaker Geeks! discussion

Which do you prefer? Personally, I like the idea of public speaking better, but that's just because I haven't tried debate.

debate i have confidents issues but if its proving my point when some else is annoying me well eh thats ok

btw like my new profile pic or should i change it

Like it!

I don't like formal debating. I tried it last year, and it was a bit too...unnatural for my taste. What I would find better is if we could use an informal speech layout and just take turns speaking.

That would be good. What was the name of your event? Is your school part of the NFL?

Debate 100%. ^^

Cool! Any specific events?

Debate. Definitely.

Nice!

Debating, of course!

Debate helps my public speaking. It gives me confidence to share and discuss my ideas. So I like both...

That's cool...haven't thought of it that way before. :)

I think public speaking. I like debating as well, but I prefer having time to collect my thoughts and phrase my arguments for maximum impact, you don't always get that in a debate. I do Model United Nations though, which is kind of a combination of both.

MODEL UN!!!!!!

I love a great debate!!!

I LOVE YOU?!?!?!

As do I!

I can't do IMPROMPTU speech or debate. But if I'm prepared, I can argue a point.

Me too. But I can argue a point even if I'm not prepared.

If it means a lot to me, I probably can. But if it's something very minor, or that I have no opinion on, I can't.

I really love a great challenge...and will take on impromptu debates...I guess I live picking sides on anything...sometimes I win and sometimes I lose...just love seeing what sides people will take and why...

I personally like speech more, but that's mainly because we don't have debate at my school (as far as i know.) Also, I worry that I may get too carried away if I were to get on a debate about a personal/well known topic.

Yup, same here. That and I don't know if I could make up an argument on the spot.

i public speek when im extreamly mad or somthing bad it about to go down .

i give public speeches voluntarily about my neighborhood just about every week.

if u look at my profile pic im at an assembly, we take those twice annually and i take conventions once annually.

lol

yeah im one busy nigga hahaha

Debate. People tell me I'm a great arguer to be able to think really fast. :D

Debate. I find it more interesting to listen to opinions of others and counter-speak rather than airing my own view only.

debate it is sounds less nerve wracking because your so wrapped up in your point

I'm more of a debater, I enjoy both but arguing my point against others is just more fun to me.

Yeah, I know whatcha mean. :) So, how long have you been in S/D? This is my first year.

Same. But next year I'm gonna be a varsity member...EEEK!!!! And be assigned a novice! I still feel a little like a novice! Just a little!

Companionship!

Debate. I get stuck when I have to speak by myself on a topic. I much prefer contra-arguing ;))
