Who is the judge? Who is the judge?

- The judge is God.

- Why is he God? Why is God? - Because he decides who

wins or loses not my opponent. Who is your opponent? Who is your opponent? - He doesn't exist. - Why does he not exist? Why doesn't he exist? -Because he is a mute distant voice the truth that I speak.- Speak the truth! Speak the truth! To win, to defeat the opponent and just tell the truth, the college debates I went through during college were more of endless wrangling, no passionate collisions, and different statements, but the last Harvard debate no matter what. Whether it is the story of the contestant policeman from Harvard or the tearful personal experience expressed by the protagonist, they are undoubtedly all stating one point, Speak the truth. This is the charm and true meaning of the debate. It turned out that the debate I experienced was without essence and Connotation, it is no wonder that more and more people find that the debate has slowly faded away
