My Political Views are better than yours.

However, my opponents arguments that have been presented in this debate are flawed. I would first like to start out by making an observation regarding today's debate. My opponent did not provide any of her political views. Since a political view helps to win this debate over no political view, I have already won this debate. Therefore, I have provided the proper criterion of giving a political view and I expected her to respond with hers. However, she failed to make note that the resolution says 'yours' which she failed to provide. A2: Legislation In her response to my stance on legislation, my opponent stated "I could not agree more with what he states here"and she atempted to give an observation of her own that attempted to counter my stance. However, when she says "If my opponent truly wished to endow the legislature with the respect for education that is deserved, he would first investigate the topic to ensure that it is being handled effectively before he mindlesslythrew more funds at it" she fails to note that I opened the issue by saying "I will fight hard to fund education properly. " My opponent misinterpreted my view and twisted it into something it wasn't. Also, my opponent made an areial assualt on the fact that I asked for an increase in pay checks, which I blatantly didn't. I simply asked that we create a better system of education for future generations. A2: TaxesOnce again, my opponet agreed with my stance on taxes by saying "This statement made by my opponent sounds hopeful". She moved on to claim that my tax plan was vague and unstructured, but failed to provide her own plan on tax reform to refute my view. Instead she subverted the fact that this is "hardly a statement". However, she provided no statement in rebuttal to my own. On the issue of business incetives, my opponent generalized that I said "We" as in the Federal Government. My opponent made a hasty generalization that conskewed the message I was conveying. She made it sound as if I was for giving government handouts. I clearly stated that I was looking for ways to find businesses incentives through tax breaks in order to create jobs. My opponent stated that I subverted the ideals of capitalism, but she has the concept of capitalism wrong. Capitalism relies partially on the govenrment to protect the consumer and make sure the businesses are working in a correct manner with the consumer. She, again, is wrong and provided no clear stance on the issue. In response to my opponets attack on West Virginia, she claims that my views weren't representing the nation as a whole. However, I am allowed to convey my political views on any level, whether it be federal or national. To enlighten my opponent, I am proposing, again, that West Virginia restructure it's tax system to provide incentives for businesses to create jobs. This can also translate into a national issue, but my opponent missinterpreted my argument and failed to provide her counterargument on the issue. A2: Fiscal PrioritiesWhen I stated that I want to make state agencies more accountable, my opponent stated "that it is a noble aim. " Onceagain, she claimed I remain vague on my stance but I stated clearly that I want to "make state agencies work with private businesses in attempt to create a lower tax burden. " She then failed to give a counterargument with her views. A2: SchoolsThis was a big issue in the debate. I stated that "the Legislature should not have allowed the schools to fall into the disrepair they are in now. " She responded to this by saying it was a "wonderful statement. " I'm not sure what the tactics of my opponent is, but she is using a method of continually agreeing with me and then asking for more information without providing her own views. She challenged me to create something more than an observaiton,but my views can be to my discretion. Secondly, my opponents skewed my belief that I supposedly think that public schools are superior. However, I stated that we need to continue to support public schools and I never undermined or subverted the well being of private/charter schools. She criticized my ideas my saying that Private School promotes competition. I never said it wouldn't. She, once again, messed up in the interpretation of this issue. A2: Budget Priorities Once again, my opponent assailed on the point that I only gave one budget priority. Regardless of that, she gave not one example of her views in prioritizing budget priorities. She stated we need to cut spending for schools and put it into a federal reserve. A2: Tobacco LitigationMy opponents understanding of this issue is 100% incorrect. She claims that it is the consumers fault that they do not investigate a product to the extent that I am advocating that state and federal governments do. She made an allusion that a toy manufacturer should put a warning on a bad toy. Do manuafactures initially think they are making a bad toy? No, they submit a warning to consumers after the defect is found and indetified. I stated that the states have a right to sue for a product that is killing people. And, the people are being picked up by the Medicare and Medicaid Tabs of the State and Federal Government. A2: AbortionShe claims that people shouldn't choose who lives and who dies. I never said I want live human beings to die. I am saying that PEOPLE have the right to choose. This is an issue we simply disagree upon. A2: Same-Sex Marriage 1. Homosexuality is not a choiceHomosexuality has a significant genetic component: According to Time Magazine, "It's a bit bewildering to watch the behavior of certain fruit flies at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. There, in the laboratories of biologists Ward Odenwald and Shang-Ding Zhang, strange things are happening inside the gallon-size culture jars. In some experiments, the female flies are cowering in groups at the top and bottom of the jars. The males, meanwhile, are having a party -- no, an orgy -- among themselves. With a frenzy usually reserved for chasing females, the males link up end-to-end in big circles or in long, winding rows that look like winged conga lines. As the buzz of the characteristic fruit fly "love song" fills the air, the males repeatedly lurch forward and rub genitals with the next ones in line. What's going on? Without a wink or a chuckle, Odenwald claims that these male fruit flies are gay -- and that he and Zhang made them that way. The scientists say they transplanted a single gene into the flies that caused them to display homosexual behavior. And that's very interesting, they assert, because a related gene exists in human beings. " [1] In addition, according to New Scientists, "A gene has been discovered that appears to dictate the sexual preferences of female mice. Delete the gene and the modified mice reject the advances of the males and attempt to mate with other females instead. " [2] In addition, many studies link being gay with pre-natal testosterone exposure (which would be determined genetically, since the fetus's genetics determine which hormones it manufactures). According to the Seattle Times, "In heterosexual women, the index and ring fingers are usually about the same length. In heterosexual men, the index finger is shorter, on average, than the ring finger. It's one of several differences between the sexes that seem to be set before birth, based on testosterone exposure. Breedlove found lesbians' finger lengths were, on average, more like men's. The same holds true for other traits, like eye-blink patterns and inner-ear function. 'Every time you find a body marker that gives an indication of prenatal testosterone exposure, lesbians on average are more masculine than straight women,' Breedlove said. This can't be a fluke. '" [3]Therefore, I ask for a strong PRO vote on the resolution!
