LD Debate is sometimes also called values debate because it traditionally places a heavy emphasis on logic, ethical values, and philosophy. It is a type of American high school one-on-one debate practiced in National Forensic League competitions.
It's a type of debate that is most definitly greater then the inferior type of debate, policy debate.
In LD people have break time between debates to improve their arguments, and discuss things with teammates.
Also, LDers are just cooler, because they shorter speeches, and prep time, so people have to think faster on their feet.

Absolute waste of life. Manfiestation of all that is the ivory-tower intellectual. It may be named policy debate, but the argumentation contributes nothing to any policy in the real world.

millions of people in a room arguing over who's gonna go first before they're washed up the urethra with cum and squirted into a sock.
My sperms were mass debating.

A form of debate inferior to policy, as proved by its lack of a definition on urban dictionary. Although it varies around the country, it generally emphasizes presentation more than policy does. However, at many tournaments, the speed is catching up to policy.
There are two types of LDers: policy LDers and traditional LDers. Policy LDers spew and read cards off computers, and lose when they have lay judges. Traditional LDers speak slowly, act politely, make eye-contact, and win only when they have lay judges.
It is named after the debates between Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. The topic changes every two months and usually relates to whether an action or policy is just. An LDer talks about a value and a kriterion, and cites philosophers in their scattered cards.

Did you see that team? They weren't spewing and they kept looking up at the judge. They must have been LDers. We won, of course.
This was more of a policy-style LD debate tournament. None of the old school kids broke.
This was more of a traditional LD tournament. None of the spewers broke. Stupid lay judges who can't comprehend kritiks.
