[Gaby] I have always been taught to be obedient, I guess, and to listen and be respectful, but I never really learned how to stand up for myself, or share my thoughts or just say that I disagreed with an authority figure in general.
- Well, right, your last sentence- [Gaby] Even in, like, in class telling people that, like, I disagreed with them on a subject.
- You're telling me on pro, I can save, say 4 million lives.
Why are you telling me you'll save lives, but I'm not?
- It makes sense that like- - It's better to save 4 million lives than 2 million lives.
- I feel like that's the same point that the other way- [Gaby] At Debate, all it is, is the back and forth of, like, "Oh, I have this idea."
Well, what about this response?
But what about the response to that response?
So this back and forth basically meant that we were almost arguing all the time, but, like, kind of amicable arguing.
