My buddy chose to be against all adoption as a bit and when pressed on what to do with kids that couldn't be adopted he just said "the kids will figure it out"

Tldr: debate class is bad and should be abolished

    Is Drbate class just an extremely anglo convept or why have I never heard of it IRL?

    Edit: Yeah, looked at the Wiki entry, and it barely exists outside the anglosphere. And does not exist at schools at all, only universities. Though Debateclubs bizarrely do not have an english Wikipedia page.

      My bad. It was technically an English class, but the whole class was debate shit This was like middle school iirc

        Nothing to apologize for, it was more for my personal curiosity since i never encountered it IRL. This site is majority anglo anyway, I think.

      I've never been in a debate club but I did have a science class that made us argue over GMO's in the US. I recall the combination of "Other nations have been using it for decades" and "Literally any negative side effect popping up in 40 years is better than starving to death now" shut down the anti side really hard.
