I think we should have UFC for under 10s

My opponent agrees that these wouldn't help economy that much, or at least ignored that argument. The main issue, though, is "Would UFC for children teach them better than to fight?"Rebuttal: "The only kids who would be fighting, would be the the kids that constantly hit other kids and cause serious problems within the schools or streets. We would not be picking on children who draw willies in their books, so don't be so ridiculous."Acknowledged."The reason why this would lessen violent crimes is because for every one fight, one child has to lose, that child getting beat up in front of a huge crowd would make him think twice before re offending."There's a possibility the child might choose to bully anyways. Inspiration and whatnot."While the other half that do win will have a shot at becoming celebrities, which will progress their career."Their career of beating up kids, sure. What about these kids? The ones that win every match? Are you going to make them fight John Cena or something?"This UFC punishment solution, is a stick method of encouragement, it's clear any current carrot methods are not working. The children will know fighting is bad, we aim to hit that home."They'll know fighting is bad? A bad idea, sure... if you're a wimp. But if this idea became real, then there would be a few kids who rarely lost. Whatever praise the audience gives will do the opposite effect; the kid thinks fighting is good!And you never stated you wanted violence to increase; you stated, and I quote, "It would serve as a punishment and encourage better behaviour out of badly behaved children." My point is, the UFC kids idea wouldn't do its intended job very well (only half well).Cross Examining the Link:I looked thoroughly, and I couldn't find anything about 10 year olds. Here's a few lines from the article talking about roughly 15 to 18 year olds:"The number of teenagers under eighteen arrested for murder has risen over one hundred fifty percent from 1985 to 1994.""Between 1992 and 1993, homicide arrests of adolescents under age fifteen increased twenty-four percent, while arrests of youth in this age group for weapons violations increased twelve percent." We don't know if these people are 10 years old. They could be 12, 13, or 14."The rates of robbery and burglary, based upon the offender's age, indicate the peak age for offending is about seventeen.""Among black males aged fourteen to seventeen, the murder rate from the mid-1970's to the mid-1980's consistently ran four to five times higher than the murder rate of similar aged white males." If there is something about 10 year olds, I would like Pro to show me where. And "juvenile" merely means "a young person", and can mean teenagers.Caffiene:"I believe that pumping them full of the drug caffeine, ( which is a stimulant drug) before the fight would put them in a drug induced rage, this would allow them to fight until they can fight no more."I have to object here. Childrens' bodies aren't as developed as adults, so they're more suceptable to drugs, like caffiene. Too much caffiene can give you: - jitteriness and nervousness - upset stomach - headaches - difficulty concentrating - difficulty sleeping - increased heart rate - increased blood pressure I don't think caffiene gives you a "drug induced rage", but you don't want to fight, especially with a headache or upset tummy. (Source: http://kidshealth.org...) "I do believe this would be entertaining. We would switch up the fights, it wouldn't be just 1v1 fights, we would have special events, 5 v 5, 10 v 10 and even 20 v 20 caffine drug pumped children fighting."So 40 kids are now in the hospital because of caffiene overdose. Congratulations, you are probably going to get sued."The most violent children would even have blunt wooden instruments, such as a small rounders bat"That is a weapon. That's all I have to say here."We would even have 5 children v 5 rabid dogs"Aaannd you murdered Bill. You are definitely going to get sued for child abuse, and maybe animal abuse. I don't care how many people those 5 kids beat up, they're not going to survive 5 pitbulls.Now that I think about it, and you've expanded on what exactly the fights would be... you're allowing children to not only fist fight, but bludgeon other kids over the head, possibly giving the poor kids a concussion. Remember this isn't WWE, and, as my opponent said before, only the kids know what will happen next."I understand my opponent is worried about children getting hurt" and possibly killed. There's one more reason why we shouldn't make kids fight in a gladiator style scenario.
