This looks like a great topic with two evenly matched sides. Evidence will be difficult and persuasion will be vital. Congratulations to the topic committee for picking a great topic.

This is pretty much the most amazing topic ever… A great range of possible argumentation on both sides.

WHAT?!? THIS TOPIC SUCKS! THERE IS NO CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE THAT WILL CONVINCE A JUDGE WITH AN IQ OF ABOVE 15! RARRRRR! *jumps off stool and hangs self* *with the help of partner XD* *then partner hangs self too -__-*

It is sad to have lost John Doe. If only he had researched before ending it all.

I understand the partner, Jane Doe, made it. After some reflection and doing a quick Google search, she found the topic to be a great one with plenty of arguments. She felt bad for John, but her new partner proved to be less hysterical and better in the tight rounds during grand cross.

This is definitely a good topic, I see it skewing toward con because almost every analysis I’ve seen of US post 9/11 security policy ranges from qualified success to relatively major failure with very little in the way of major successes. That said this topic could go a lot of different places with plenty to work with on both sides which should make it very good.

Yo Ben, do you remember me? I think we went to North City in Washington together.

I do indeed Alexander, its been a while.

I think this topic is stupid, it doesn’t make sense whatsoever.

I think that this is a good resolution, but i hate having substantially in it.
