Debate its kind of like a life but not quite

The second tournament I went to, KCKCC, gives me a weekend and a birthday debating abstract high theory. None of these rounds are really worth while, debate has gotten a lot easier when a simple realization occurred. Debate is essentially won by the team that makes an argument that is responsive.  Reading Nietzsche has made this rather apparent, the rounds where we have a real response is few and far between. So no worries, but a interesting thing happened this tournament. I stopped talking to Jen, not of a lot of significance to this in and of itself. But a weird revelation, she is getting married to Cole or something.

I want to talk about this not because I care for Jen, but because this is the dumbest thing I have heard in a very long term. Can this space even exist as legitimate? Here is why I posture this. At the start of 2008 Jen was dating this guy Austin Vance who she had been in a relationship with for three years. She breaks up with him,  and gets involved with Shae for about a period of two months.  This then move into a involvement with me for another two months, than involvement over the summer for another month. So we are looking at about 5 or 6 months. We break up because she has never been single (sorta ) true. She starts dating Cole,  and has been dating for oh I don't know 3 months.  

This leads me to a desire, to express that I think this interaction is beyond FUCKING RETARDED. Ok, reality check, if you have not NOT been involved with someone since you are sixteen you fundamentally are unable to see your investment inside of a need for another human being. Rooted and stuck to other people. Oh, and I forgot something she was also sorta involved with Ben. Nice little list I think, so we have that than switching from person to person. I sort of understand where this comes from thought, Cole seems to say what is the traditional thing that people want to hear, "Bleh I love you, your my one and only", you know really stupid shit that is fundamentally hollow. Literal expression as a means of true expression?  PFFT. I am almost 90% how this relationship started too, casual sex of course. Because you know, THAT is a realistic thing to do.

So other than that, a side note about Cole, that just proves I am correct. The other day I saw cole pick up Jen in his suv. A lexus SUV. Lexus Suv=prick. Really, I don't need to do anymore work on that argument. Anyone who drives a Lexus Suv is fundamentally not a worth while human being, especially in college.

I used to argue with Jen about if she was dependent on having a male in her life, I actually suggested she didn't. I am pretty sure I was wrong.

So moving on,  debate as life yo. I got home on monday, sleep past my class, than BAM, debate is only a few days away again.   This tournament was a little less successful ( we dropped in octos, where we were in semis of the previous one), but new arguments are quite a bit of fun.

Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Schmitt are the only arguments we have read this year.

Schmitt is my new favorite nazi, the argument is that we need to identify people inside of the community as enemy, to draw a arbitrary line in the sand. This should be grounded as still human, but different to frame community in terms of those that are enemy. To fail to do this is to allow a definition of humanity, that allows wars in the name of humanity justifying total annihilation. War is a inevitability, and not something that can be prevented, so Schmitt reframes war in a way that makes war manageable.

He was also a hardcore Nazi. Not like Heidegger, who wasn't really a Nazi, Schmitt was a legit Nazi.

Oh well.

I am screwed also. Every girl I seem to get interested in confuses and confounds me. I can't seem to make any movement forward, ones that I find attractive I can't speak to. Others have boyfriends, bah I wish I wasn't so diss empowering to myself

Edit:I am conflicted about leaving this up. And editing this back in is a pain in the ass, so I am just going to leave it here I guess
