It really depends on the debate club - I don't like the ones that are focused around competition. Did a debate course last year and what I found inherently irritating is the fact that discussions weren't about finding the best truth, but rather at finding the most convincing truth. It's almost like marketing. Don't get me wrong, I learned quite a lot from it, but it's not my type of discussion.
