LD is better than PFD

My opponents case: Contention 1: Choice of preferred debate style is entirely opinionated I agree how ever i would like to say LD debate is a more likable style of debate and is more opinionated to the majority. Meaning the majority would prefer LD. Contention 2: PFD gives debaters the opportunity to debate many more topics than LD permits- This might be the case however not nesscarily needed to be better more topics may just mean writing more cases and less arguing of a single topic. LD actually gives people time to argue a case and improve it, and improve and further their knowledge and experience in one topic. Which can be helpful knowledge to have in the future. Also he/she says that LD topics are not political? the newest topic is : Is the united states justified in using private military firms to pursue military objectives. Hows thay not political and don't make me mention the nuclear weapons cases. The jury nullification topic? and the topic about should Juviniles be treated as adults in violent crimes? Yes your right nothing political about that. Contention 3: PFD debate teaches kids teamwork- Do you not have a debate team? When you debate LD you work to gather on facts, cases, attacks, defenses, and etc. Just because your debating by yourself doesn't mean you don't work as a team, you share information like values, criterions, information about the topic, Either way we see it there is team work. Closing thoughts- My opponent says that they are the same and saying one is better than the other is a fallacy well in his observation it says if neither proves one is better than the other then i must win well he/she is saying they are neither better nor worse than the other therefore with his observation i would win this case because if neither is better than the other neither of our cases would win resulting in a tie and allow me to be the winner. The funny thing is i don't think he noticed that but whatever for his/her sake i will throw in my own points as to why i should win and LD is better. My Case: Contention 1- Value debate teaches you to argue over the philosophy and ethics rather than all evidence like policy. I have posted political topics from past LD topics as well i would say it is a better debate for as it allows values, like morality or utility and even pragmatism as a value and this holds up your cases and reasons why you should win and what should be upheld other than your opponents. Its not about arguing facts or evidence its about arguing which value is better to uphold. contention 2 - LD teaches Philosophy Such as Utilitarianism, or Hobbes and Locke and more you actually learn intelligent thinking like these and more. This type of debate actually takes great intellect to argue, that would also be the reason why not just anyone can judge it. Contention 3 - LD debate also has a historical pressence to the U.S The Lincoln-Douglas Debate format is named for the 1858 Lincoln-Douglas Debates between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas, because their debates focused on slavery and the morals, values, and logic behind it. This makes it a great historical debate form that has a great past of debaters even Abraham Lincoln which was one of the U.S greatest presidents.
