Our youth is our future.

Thank you for that round. And to the floor, those reading this debate, I hope you can see what has happened here. The penny has dropped, and my opponent has resorted to using semantics and pointing out my lack of following rules, which was an unfortunate mistake, only now. Semantically, the youth is our future. I agree, but that is not what you have been debating I'm afraid."I will speak of how the elderly represent ideas that no longer fit to this modern world we live in. This is, in a sense, a Liberal vs. Conservative debate, but it is also about much more than that. It is about the future of humankind. My opponent will argue that the youth is not the future and that we should rather trust the people who have lived much longer. ""The fact of the matter is that proper education will lead to economic success." "I believe that education is, in a sense, much more progressive than experience. Yes, experience will assist in making the right decisions, but education will ensure that you even have the capacity to make those decisions. ""They are more intelligible about certain things, like technology, which makes them great for innovation, which will drive is towards a bright future.""I said that we should focus on the youth and give them more opportunities. Why do I believe this? Education quality becomes better and only better. Elders were educated in a time when facts were theories and certain discoveries were not yet made. The youths are the ones that are fresh out of college and have the latest data available.""As you can see yourself, Liberals can manage finances much more responsibly than Conservatives. I must agree that we need safety and experience, but I believe advancement, innovation, growth, and reform are much more important matters. It is a matter of electing the right candidates and supporting the proper movement. This is the movement of the youth; to pass education reform and innovate markets; to develop new technologies, invent new products, revolutionize the economy, and so forth. "" concur that elders must guide youths into the right direction, but in the end, it is the youth’s duty to innovate and reform, invent and develop, revolutionize and influence. Conservatives lack this capacity. We must learn from the past, live in the present, and plan for the future"These are key quotes to really summarize what the debate is about. Yes, literally speaking the youth will grow up and run the world, so they are what is to come, but this is now what you've spent the last few rounds arguing. You have been arguing that the youth are key for developing and succeeding for the future. You quoted "economic success", because it matters for the development and welfare of the future. You made education a factor because in your words, proper education will lead to economic success." You debated about "planning for the future". You said explicitly said that "advancement, innovation, growth, and reform are much more important matters". You have set your whole debate not on whether the youth are the ones to populate the world next, but this debate is really whether the youth have more utilitarian benefit than adults for the development and future of the word. Now, I have already refuted all of these points apparently successfully since you have spent this round playing semantically rather than refuting these points. You made your stance clear and we together debated something specifically and I have fulfilled my part, and you have decided to literally change the course of this debate to reside in your own comfort zones. I will leave the floor to decide why that is, but what you have done is changed the debate. The floor can take it as it wants, it could be seen as a forfeit to ingenious gameplay, but it does mean my points still stand on those issues and yours do not. The only point which from yours does stand is not where this debate actually is, and I am not going to adhere to this.And please let us not get started on the bringing up of my lack of using MLA sourcing. Firstly, if you want to follow rules like that, then I do not see any sources at all on your third and fourth round. Considering you have put down fairly objective facts such as; "The actual employees of that corporation should be youth for the youth has: a) a recent education, therefore having the most recent facts accessible b) a wider capacity to reform what needs to be reformed c) great innovative skills"And with the purpose of sourcing, to show whether a fact can be relied on, you have failed as you did have facts to use sources at all. You only brought this up until now. Considering you did not mention it after the first round I presumed you were fine with it. You did not pick up on it until now. Which I see as slightly sleazy.The next round is round five. No new arguments, and no rebuttals according to your rules. So now you have landed yourself in a trap. There is not much I really need to do here. I have completed my rebuttals for previous rounds, and whether you think so or not, you have brought a new argument but named it rebuttal even though you just explained how this point nulled what I said, which is not rebuttal, so this is going against your rules as well.I do urge the floor to vote for me, but will happily accept a justification for this. You have to prove to my why:1) It is rebuttal, and not just using a new motion to nullify my arguments.2) You have not actually broken rules with citing and rebuttal (similar to the above).3) Why "the youth is our future" is actually what we have been debating.4) Why this strengthens your stance.5) If you do admit the above, why it is justified.However as next round is summary, you cannot bring any new points and must do this as conclusion. If you do just conclude without adhering to this, then this has also effectively been left to stand, so this is an awkward situation you have put yourself in. This is rebuttal to the point you made, as I am explaining why it is irrelevant, thus taking down your argument. I hope you and the floor can see why I have clearly been victorious thank you.Sources:[1] http://www.oxforddictionaries.com...
