PostSubject: just a comment or two about your questions   Christian's Affirmative Cross-X EmptySun Oct 12, 2008 9:09 pm

First I'd like to thank you for posting the start of your affirmative cross x questions. Even though I don't have your affirmative case in front of me, I can tell that you are attempting to get your opponent to agree with your value of justice.
Here are a couple picky suggestions...



Quote :
Do you think Justice is important to have?

Since justice is not a tangible object that we can own, the word "have" is not the best word choice here.
It would be better to ask.

Do you believe it is important to maintain or uphold justice?

Then you could ask
Would you agree that we must maintain justice in order to uphold... ___________(opponents value)

I also want you to consider using the phrase... Would you agree..... instead of, Do you think...
This would be a more direct way of getting your opponent to agree with you instead of giving him complete license to think whatever he'd like to think... talk on and on about what he thinks etc.

These are just picky little suggestions that I hope you'll consider as you continue writing your questions out.
