May I be brutally candid?

Thank you.

I rarely read the DC posts. Infact, on most occassions, I make it a point NOT to read certain posts ver i cnt mk out wht pplz hv ritten.

I never read posts that are more than, say, a couple of paragraphs - I believe that if you can't get across your view in a short concise para, you never will.

I never read posts that are not properly formatted - those witout proper paragraph settings.

I may start off reading a post but frequetly stop after the first few lines - this happens with dry and humourless posts

This is what I do, and perhaps you all do too.

Except the Moderators ... hahaha ... they gotta read ALL posts ...

This is the first DC I am going to see

but as jatayu said, I would personally prefer to read shorter concise passages...

sometimes I skip posts on seeing the length itself...
this may be the case with most people...

Is Debate Championship boring?

Question is not clear.

Is DC boring to participate?

Definitely not.It gives us a chance to show our talent 😳,it gives us chance to make good friends,Just as Kabhijit😉 and Raksha.1 😳

Is DC boring to organise?

Defintely not (as this is first debate in which I'm a small part,I'm really enjoying)

Is DC boring to watch?

Definetely not.Its really fun to watch when clever people debate (fight) in a clever manner,this fun is really immeasureable.This is more intersting than a Emran Hashimi movie or ASH-HRITIK drama😆

Moral of the Story: Pls be a part of DC(particiapant,judge,audience or organiser)

Cheers,

Mythili

Basically I believe in KISS formula in teaching or conveying thing.Don't get scared.KISS means KEEP IT SIMPLE and SHORT.Well formated things and good language gives beauty.Good language never means usage of tough words which are not understandable to all.

Okk I will ask the question........ Did I make the DC boring 😉 😆

I agree Jatayuji....... but in competitions u need to make ur statements clear and u need to use as many examples as possible to help ur statement...... with all examples, a paragraph cant be short and sweet and without them.... it wont serve the purpose 😆

Second is finding a humour is normal in day to day debates, but when it comes to competition, u can t joke around.... indeed it goes against you...... though this is only virtual championship, but its better if u work on it with full interest, rather than joking around 😃

For the Debate mansion team:

U go to SRGMP section, most people will find the musical threads on classical music boring but they are valuable and there are some people who appreciate it, similarly here we have some people who appreciate the effort put in by the contestants, which matters the most for the contestant and which serves them right after so many efforts.......

So I am for DC 😃 I would have participated in this one but here one of the teams is really starting the race from one mile behind 😆 And I dont have enough examples to cross that one mile 😆

In fact I am honoured to meet the great debaters here like, Abhijeet Shukla, Mythili, MNMS, MAYA M, Mermaid_QT, Buffie, Jatayu, Raksha and others..... I am learning a lot from them...... I never used much of google but now am thinking of doing it😆 So it was to much of my benefit that I participated in DC4😃

mmmm ... yes and no. Examples can be long. But as to the point itself, the shorter it is, the better the chances of it being understood.

EG: Motion - The Automobile is a curse

My main point:
Since the dawn of civilisation. mankind has strived to seek more and more comvenient means of locomotion. The Automobile is just a manifestation of that quest.

Examples
There can be many here. People will read so long as they see that the examples are all going to lead logically to my main point mentioned above.

You decide which sounds better and more readable

1. The per capita growth of the income of the Santhal tribes of Shantiniketan have seen a marked growth since their depiction by Satyajit Ray in the Bengali movie "Agantuk"

2. Who would have thought that the result of Oscar winner Satyajit Ray and Utpal Dutta joining hands in "Agantuk" would result in, among other things, an improvement in the livelihood of the Santhal tribes aroiund Shantiniketan.

I doubt if I have been able to ably convey my intent.


By humour, I don't mean slapstick comedy. I mean a touch of the conversttional tone, a whisper of humour, all of which make the reading experience so much more rewarding

Would you have seen and enjoyed Chaplin's Modern Times if it were not based on a comedy. And such a serious message it is too?

WHAT??😲 you are a S-M-A-L-L part.....a total myth!! 😳 😆 ... you have surpassed Hrithik Roshan in modesty 😛 !!!


@ Evilgenius: Previous contents of DC's have never been easy, It is a championship!! What is the fun of having an easy topic for DC when you have harder and mind-jogging debates going on at DM on regular day-to-day basis! 😊
