I'm starting this thread to get some help with some sticking points that I'm having with real debating. I've joined the debating league in my college and I realised that I'm better at countering than ...

Dude, it's clear to me that you don't understand the difference between inductive reasoning and deductive reasoning. Deductive arguments are 100% certain and therefore valid. Inductive arguments are n...
