Eleventh Doctor Q&A

[Eleventh Doctor]

I don't think it needs to take God 6 days to complete it, He could do it instantly.

Also "regular" week, is misleading. There have been many different measurements of weeks and days throughout history.

[aragtaghooligan]

What is piety?

[Tarol]

Then we could agree about what happened there. BTW, I don't think it takes God 6 million years to create the World. He could very well complete it in 6 days and rest on the 7th, giving us a great example of a regular week.

*could get in this discussion*
*but doesn't*


What is one of the worst straw men you have ever heard while debating?

What is one of the most embarrassing or worst mistake you have ever made while debating? (if you don't mind telling...)

[Eleventh Doctor]

Piety is the state of being religious or reverent

Worst strawman, during the past year the topic was the Middle East and I heard some really horrendous strawmen about Arab and Muslim stereotypes.

Worst mistake, my debate partner and I were debating some friends from our club. We had researched their debate case specifically and so were able to present a lot of evidence and arguments. We were too smug and upset our friends. You shouldn't do so much research against your club mates and friends. And you shouldn't rub it in their face if you win. It was a very valuable learning experience for me.

There has always been a 24hr day though.

[Bethany Shepard]

Would you rather be in a drive through window for 12 hours or behind the cash register for 10? (McDonald's, of course.)

[Tarol]

And their has always been a long period of time.

That's a funny story... But, are you suggesting you shouldn't research as much, or only research as much as your opponents do?

What is your favorite household job? (dishes, folding wash, vacuuming, etc.)

[Eleventh Doctor]

@Miss Friendship No there hasn't been, time keeping devices had to be invented before that was possible.

Behind the cash register for 10 hours unless a good friend was in the car with me.

My point is be kind to your teammates and don't be smug or proud.

Doing laundry

[Miss Friendship]

Does your church have what I call 4 part harmony (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Base) and if so, what do you sing?

If you could convince me of one thing that I don't agree with you on, what would that be?

[Bethany Shepard]

Would you rather wear this:

Or this:

[Tarol]

Those are AWESOME, Beth.

It's "bass," by the way, MF.

You mentioned before a debating tip, do you have any other advice for wannabe debaters?

[Eleventh Doctor]

We have a version of that, I sing Bass

I would convince you about the important of the Apostolic Tradition.

Bow ties are cool

Listen to the other person in the debate and make sure you're debating the same thing. So many debates go off the rails because there isn't agreement about what is being discussed.

[SirWhit]

Do you prefer LD or TP debate?

[Eleventh Doctor]

Tough question, I only debated TP but I've coached both. Unless the TP topic is really good I prefer LD most of the time, I think it gets to the deeper questions.

[Tarol]

What is an LD and TP debate?

[Doll]

If you were a vegetable, what kind would you be?

[Eleventh Doctor]

LD is Lincoln Douglas debate which is a one on one debate dealing with philosophical issues such as the role of national security versus individual privacy.

TP is Team Policy debate which is teams of two debaters debating each other. This type of debate has more to do with legislative policy, so it's similar to Congress passing a bill and it being debated.

My favorite vegetable is asparagus so that I guess?

[Bethany Shepard]

T.V. show or movie?

Paintings or drawings?

[Eleventh Doctor]

I generally prefer TV shows, I think we're in a real golden age of TV

Depends what the subject of the art is

[Miss Friendship]

What did the early Christians believe about creation?

Would you rather read a book or listen to it?

Chocolate or Candy?

Do you wear sandals during the summer?

Are you going to teach your children how to debate? (Assuming your future wife will know nothing about debating, which most likely she won't.)
