Hi my name's Nate and I debated at Iowa City West for four years. I acquired 9 bids to the TOC in my career (1 sophomore year, 2 junior year, 6 senior year) and made Quarters of the TOC as a junior and Doubles as a senior. I mostly did phil/theory debate. Something I found the wiki and Circuit Debater very useful for coming from a small school was finding different frameworks to read/try out so I'm going to post my phil cases here. If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me at | Hi my name's Nate and I debated at Iowa City West for four years.

'''Ripstein''': Ripstein is similar to Libertarianism or Kant but more robust and more selective in terms of what is a "right". Ripstein just says you have the right to be independent (as opposed to a right to absolute freedom) which means you must be allowed to make your own choices but the government can do things like tax you. If you're interested in this framework I would recommend reading the book Force and Freedom by Arthur Ripstein, it goes in depth on a lot of issues relevant to a framework debate and is a pretty easy read. | |||
