  • Learning Disabled Debate, also known as Lincoln-Douglas Debate, is a style of debate with five rounds and two cross examinations. The designers of this form of debate were rich bankers with too much time on their hands. Two people, one named Aff and one named Neg, who are both former Policy Debate members, are forced to decide whether the resolution for the round is true or false. The official formula used by judges to decide who "wins" (There are never losers- only special winners)* can be represented by the equation of where "S" represents skill, and "N" refers to number of "dropped" (lost) arguments, and "R" represents the number of references to obscure authors and law professers that no one has heard of or cared about until the use of their work. Also notable to LD debate is the chronic inability of the debaters to directly defend or attack the resolution, this has led to the slow speech patterns and laziness of the contestants. Fortunately, the LDers have seen the light and have begun the process of throwing paper at fast speeds, otherwise known as spreading. They combat the notions of the so-called debate known as policy, and have begun a forum for real argumentation, except on the two days that the anti-christ comes to rule, the day of the national rulers tournament, and the catholic ones organization of old ones that are parents. These highly sacriligeous days are reveered by the cult of the anti-christ(those who have not learned of the spread). * Although, to be fair, the winners are usually special as well. The only major difference between the losers and the winners is that the winners are less special than the losers; as evidenced by the large wood/metal/plastic objects that they receive upon winning. Image:LD copy.png Learning Disabled debate comes in two major forms. First, policy debate people who cannot handle the spread or are not fully awesome join LD because it is easier. They initially brought the spread to LD. Second, ignorant children who do not know the spread do LD debate (the above image shows an example of these people) because they find it sophisticated to say the phrase "my opponent drops this argument, extend it, that's a voter", or "I win the value debate, so I'm winning the round."
