Never been in a debate club or an official debate, like in front of an audience, but me and my friends often debate each other and people constantly say I should because I tend to like arguing (It's fun, okay). But, there is a debate story I have actually that will make you all laugh.
So my high school has this thing called W.I.P (World Issues Project) and one of the things we do is a debate on our solutions for our issue. Our issue was Human trafficking (I know, happy stuff, right?) and we presented our solutions. one of the things we had to consider was how to convince governments to actually implement our solutions. We kept asking each other this, until an acquaintance of mine asked someone I know (unfortunately) that question, and his answer... was just XD.
So his answer was if they refuse to do it, we should burn down their government buildings (yes, he said that) and force them to do it. I am not kidding. he said that one for one. he was serious. he aruged this point for several minutes while many of us either tried to argue with him or laughing in complete hilarity. Even the teacher was like "Ok, no that's dumb, we're moving on." And you guys think Trump is bad at debating. XD
