Well..you're not going to team up with them. Each team is affirmitive or negative no room for maybe or you will just get laughed at. Also some of the cockiest debaters are the ones who score the most points simply because they are aggressive in the questioning and make the other person confused. It's a pretty good strat imho

Being cocky and arrogant generally entails that you're stubborn and refuse to see the other side of the argument.  Because of that, your arguments are weaker because you'll fail to see the flaws in their points.  Starting the argument with a neutral point of view (or at least pretending you have a neutral standing) generally makes your arguments a lot stronger than they otherwise would be.

Yeah, exactly.  That's how debating is done around here, anyway.

You're getting it wrong, being cocky means being aggressive in YOUR QUESTIONING as well as youour opening statements and rebuttles. You actually need to listen to be able to question so yea..that doesn't make sense.

Being cocky means you think you're inherantly correct, which is a horrible stance in debates.

hHahaha the real story rocks.
Joe was like "Omg i want to hit this biatch" in his head right
So he walks up to her and he's like "Yo can I put my hand down that shirt of yours you sexy mama"
She was like "oh baby yeah"
He was like "K"
She was like "LOL JK"
He tapped her on the head
She was like "FUCK"
And then she was like "THATS SEXUAL ASSAULT"
And now joe's like "FUCK"
"I JUST WANTED TO FUCK~"
