Tabula rasa is all around the fairest way to judge a debate round.
Tabula rasa (or tab ross) is technically defined as having no preconceptions. Thus one is not allowed to bring in their own knowledge or opinion into judging a debate round. They simply have to vote on what is there. A little elaboration on what a tab ross judge is..... They do get to come into the round with a moderate sense of logic. (and should) Without it, they couldn't judge debate, because they couldn't follow any arguments that were being brought up in the debate. For example, if a...
The Ethics of Voting. It is possible for someone to vote Pro in the below listed scenario.
Here is the scenario. The debate resolution is as follows. "Chocolate ice cream is better than any other kind." Pro takes this stance: "Vanilla ice cream is better than any other kind."

FCC Regulation of Broadcast Media Content.
Freedom of speech is one of the most sacred rights to any free society. People have fought and died for the right to express what they want, how they want. The Framers of the Constitution knew the dangers of allowing the government control over speech and press. That is why they used the very First Amendment to the Constitution to guarantee the right to speak freely to all American citizens. Today we are throwing that right away so that some people won't have to hear coarse language on televisio...
