Do we have any Lincoln-Douglass (L-D) debaters around here (esp. those who do it through NFL)? If so, where do u live?

No. Im policy and congressional debator. I just get lost in LD. Speed is great.

What is LD debate? I think I have an idea, but I'm not sure. Is that some special club that only a selected few are members of?

No. LD stands for Lincoln-Douglas Debate. It is a type of debate that you don't debate a strict policy or law, you more or less debate the values and criteria behind a topic. (example Television is Detrimental to Civility in the United States.)
