It is Immoral to Force Pink Fluffly Unicorns to Dance on Rainbows

Rebuttals to opponent's arguments1. My opponent claim PFU likes dancing on rainbows. This is proven incorrect. Scientist studies show that 99.99% of PFUs do not like dancing on rainbows, especially if forced to. Why, they could do far better stuff than dancing on rainbows, such as skiing, mountain climbing, or simply smelling the flowers. Forcing them away from their normal activities and persuading them to dance on rainbows is immoral becuase it stops them from what they are supposed to do. 2. World FamousHow can they be interviewed if they are dead. Or rather, in my 4th point, horribly beaten-up and unable to even move an inch.3. troll argumentYou lied. PFUs exist everywhere throught the world, no need to go overseas. Clearly you have no knowledge of PFUs. 4. Fall to doomThey are immortal, which makes the fall even worse and super torturous, as they are writhing in pain yet unable to die. They are also extremely stupid, so they won't use their magic powers, espcecially in this type of stressful situation.5. Viral within secondsWell, there's someone called Justin Bieber. Look at what happened to him. 6. Evil PFUsMost PFUs are kind, some are evil. And if 0 IQ means "highly intelligent", then yes, they are totally "intelligent". 5. spongebob not existingMr. Krabs will not be happy. There will be no other worker who works for free infinitely. And while he is annoying, he is funny too, and respects everyone, unlike Annoying Orange, who is the one that should actually be killed but unfortunately he is invulnerable to hypnotism.
It is Immoral to Force Pink Fluffly Unicorns to Dance on Rainbows

Why it is moral to force PFU to dance on rainbows1. Pink fluffy unicorns like dancing on rainbows. Unicorns are magical creatures (1) who can obviously survive dancing on rainbows and even enjoy the dancing. They will happily dance around and have a great time. Sometimes they will even gather more PFUs so that they can dance around and be very happy. 2. Pink fluffy unicorns will become world famousPFUs will become viral and famous. Interviewers will want to interview the PFUs to find out more about them. In fact, PFUs will become very rich and wealthy! Most unicorns enjoy fame and fortune, so they will have a great time being famous. People all over the world will gather fan clubs and new friends and be sponsored all over the universe! How fabulous! 3. My opponent is a troll (2)As you can see, all of my opponent's reasons are completely unreasonable. His reasons are only a matter of opinion and he does not understand PFUs like I do. You see, I have gone overseas to visit the PFUs and I have become a dear friend with them. My opponent, on the other hand, is an enemy of the PFUs. He has gone to war on them on a number of occasions. Rebuttals1. They will fall to their doomThis is very unrealistic because, like I said, unicorns are powerful immortal beings with magical powers. Of course they will survive and thrive on the rainbows! Unicorns have a magical horn, which they can use to make the rainbows also magical. 2. They will be video recorded and gone viral within secondsThis is actually a good thing, because unicorns enjoy fame. They will thank the man releasing the video and shower him with gifts. There are many good things about being famous. I even would like to become famous myself. 3. Evil PFUs Will die before falling to their doomRainbows are actually the unicorn's most favorite thing ever. PFUs absolutely love rainbows. They even would dance on rainbows voluntarily. Chuck Norris' Rainbow Round-House Kick is very friendly and PFUs love rainbows. The PFUs are not evil; they are kind creatures, and they are also very smart. How dare you call them stupid! PFUs are highly intelligent.4. Spongebob Will Not Exist Anymore in Bikini BottomThis is actually a good thing, because Spongebob is a horribly annoying little creature. He deserves to die. Squidward and Mr. Krabs and everyone else will be very happy about his death and thank the PFUs for hypnotizing him.

It is Immoral to Force Pink Fluffly Unicorns to Dance on Rainbows

Why it is immoral to force PFU to dance on rainbows1. They will fall to their doomAs claimed by http://en.wikipedia.org..., rainbows are formed by light sources, and because such, they are non-physical and the physical PFU will fall right through, dying a bloddy and horrid death.2. They will be video recorded and gone viral within seconds Since PFU are so rare, obviously somebody would notice them dancing on rainbows, and video record this scene and put it online. Because the PFU will die for reasons shown above, they cannot stop the horrid man releasing the video in order to become famous and viral within seconds of the video's release.3. Evil PFUs Will die before falling to their doomEvil PFUs have a peculiar weakness--rainbow. They are immune to every weapon in the universe--except the rainbow gun. No man can destroy them--except Chuck Norris and his Rainbow Round-House Kick. No object is capable of destroying evil PFUs--except the rainbow. However, evil PFUs are extremely stupid, and will be easily bribed onto dancing on their only weakness. They will die and the legion will have its revenge on whoever forced that PFU to dance on rainbows.4. Spongebob Will Not Exist Anymore in Bikini Bottom As shown in this photo, Spongebob cannot resist the PFU. He will be hyptonized, follow the PFU, leave Bikini Bottom, dying, leaving the show with no main character, and a tragic cast sobbing with great somber. Except squidward. Who didn't matter in the first place anyways. Onto you, con!
It is Immoral to Force Pink Fluffly Unicorns to Dance on Rainbows

Hello. I think that it is immoral to force pink fluffy unicorns to dance on rainbows.Force: "persuasive power; power to convince" based on http://dictionary.reference.com.... In this case, the power to convince the PFU to dance on rainbows, whether it's bribery or torture.Immoral: "violating moral principles; not conforming to the patterns of conduct usually accepted or consistent with principles of personal and social ethics.", as said by http://dictionary.reference.com.... Round one is for acceptance only. You will have to argue it is moral to force PFU to dance on rainbows. Moral: the opposite of immoral.
It is Immoral to Force Pink Fluffly Unicorns to Dance on Rainbows

Final Round1. No todo listBeing bored does not mean they will become shocked whenever they do things. This is a ridiculous statement! If we are bored and we try something new, this does not mean we will be stuck in a coma of any sort. It is also highly unlikely that we get "shocked". Being shocked is caused by electricity in the air from a lightning storm, not dancing on rainbows. Comas are not caused by dancing on rainbows either. Your crazy accusations are not logical at all. picture below: a realistic example of getting shocked 2. Becoming FamousTwilight and PFUs are nearly the exact same thing. The only difference between Twilight Sparkle and pink fluffy unicorns is that Twilight is purple, which is nearly the exact same shade of color as pink, and Twilight is less fluffy. Therefore, they are pretty much the same creatures and are very similar. You also argued that only Twilight can lift up large objects, but this is obviously false. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna are equally powerful to Twilight; they also have magical powers, and so does Rarity, another unicorn. picture below: Rarity, a unicorn, levitating a bag of feathers 3. Troll ArgumentYou are straying away from the topic at hand: you are a troll. I have gained knowledge, however, by traveling across the world and visiting the PFUs. I have learned from their traditions and how they act. By observing PFUs from their natural habitat, I have naturally learned from their behavior and gathered information. In this way, I have learned that they will enjoy dancing on rainbows.4. Falling to their deathThe awesome shield, as I told you, was invincible. I clearly said it was invincible to any type of weakness and cannot be weakened or harmed in any possible way. You have, once again, misunderstood what I said and turned it into a morphed version of your own words. picture below: an example of a person falling without a shield picture below: someone enjoying their fall with a shield 5. Viral within secondsPFUs are excellent singers. They are singing in a very cute voice and anyone who dislikes that video are evil weirdos who have absolutely no life and/or are stupid and freakishly horrible.6. Evil PFUsJust because one unicorn is evil does not mean that all unicorns are evil. For example, even if one of us, like Hitler, is evil, that does not mean all of the human population is evil. Only a small amount of them are evil. Another reason why your picture is inaccurate is because we are talking about pink fluffy unicorns. Your picture is of a black smooth pegasus. Black smooth pegasi are an entirely different species from pink fluffy unicorns. picture below: a black pegasus racing through the sunset 7. The Matter of SpongebobSpongebob is very annoying and his jokes are not funny at all. How dare you compare Spongebob to the adorable snowman Olaf! His childish nature makes him very unpopular and disliked. picture below: Olaf the snowman In summary, it is moral to force PFUs to dance on rainbows.

Wow! It's the final round already!1. no list of what to doThey will get really really bored, and when they are forced to dance on rainbows, they will be extremely shocked and stuck in a state of forever-coma. Horrible!2. world famousYour unicorn is not pink or fluffly. Twilight is also the grande exception, as she has epic powers and can lift up a whole cart and a whole humongous bear, while no pony else can. 3. troll argumentOkay, so you visited them. What makes you an expert?4. Falling to their doomThe awesome shield cannot prevent death from the rainbow, which weakens their shield tremendously and is their only weakness.5. viral within seconds The PFU is a horrid singer too, as shown in the video below. .. . http://www.youtube.com......Even Twilight, the smartest pony in all of Equestria, couldn't say the answer to the question concerning the texture of the PFU.6. Evil PFUs Above is shown an evil black unicorn. Thus it is proven that unicorns can be evil.7. SpongebobSpongebob is pretty funny. He makes hilarious jokes and he is oblivious to everything that goes on. His childish nature makes him well-liked, kind of like Olaf! And we don't want Olaf to melt! In conclusion it is immoral to force PDUs to dance on rainbows.
It is Immoral to Force Pink Fluffly Unicorns to Dance on Rainbows

Rebuttals to my opponent's rebuttals1. Your scientist studies are inaccurate because you have no sources or evidence to show that "99.99% of PFUs do not like dancing on rainbows, especially if forced to". The other activities you suggested are terrible; skiing makes PFUs uncomfortable since PFUs do not like snow on their fur, mountain climbing is too challenging since PFUs have hooves instead of hands, and PFUs also have pollen allergies and flowers would cause them to sneeze and cough. "Forcing them away from their normal activities and persuading them to dance on rainbows is immoral because it stops them from what they are supposed to do. " PFUs do not have anything they are "supposed to do"; they do not have a list of tasks at hand or a job. Picture below: someone sneezing furiously because of the flowers around them picture below: someone suffering an unlucky ski crash 2. World FamousUnicorns are immortal, so obviously they cannot die. They are also invincible to any type of harm, so they cannot be beaten up, and since they have teleporting and telekinesis powers, they can simply move around and pick up objects on their own. Their magical powers protect them from harm and torture. picture below: a purple using her powerful magic while the other ponies stare at her in awe 3. Troll ArgumentYou did not understand what I meant at all. Even if unicorns do live everywhere in the universe, I can still visit different types of PFUs all over the world. I have no need to stay in one place. Clearly you have no knowledge of PFUs AND you misunderstood me. For example, there are humans everywhere in the world, but I still go overseas to visit my friends and relatives. picture below: a ship from the medieval ages, which shows that even in olden days, people have used ships to travel overseas and visit other people 4. Falling to their doomDid I mention that PFUs are invincible and have an awesome shield around them that prevents death? They are not stupid at all; in fact, they are the complete oppose: extremely smart. Stress does not prevent them from their powers. Although it may cause them to worry slightly, and slow down, it will not make them avoid their powers altogether.5. Viral within secondsAre you seriously comparing PFUs to Justin Bieber? Shame on you! Those two people are completely different. Justin Bieber is a horrible girly singer, while PFUs are adorable little pink fluffy unicorns. Justin's singing nearly broke my eardrums! Therefore, PFUs will not be treated like Justin Bieber was treated. picture below: Justin Bieber is being arrested for being a horrible person 6. Evil PFUsPFUs are very kind and helpful. They would never harm a soul! pictures below: kind and loving unicorns (seriously, do you think these adoring creatures would be evil? !) 5. Spongebob's ExistenceMr. Krabs is a selfish sea creature and he deserves to be sad. Spongebob is not funny at all, unless you are talking about stupid and childish humor. Annoying Orange is completely irrelevant and is a piece of fruit. The unicorns would probably just eat him.
Government spending helps the economy during a recession

In response to my opponents confusion in his first paragraph. If government increases spending to give people more money then they also have to increase taxes, which reduces the amount of money consumers have. But the US hasnt donethis but instead has accumulated a massive amount of debt. If people have no more money then what they stared out with before the government spending, then what is the point? If debt increases then the long term effects will be more horrible than any recession. That is what I ment by that. Again he references the multiplier and the MPC. But the multiplier relies on the MPC which relies on taxes. So if taxes are increased then the MPC will go down along with the multiplier. So government spending will have less of an impact, this poin was not attacked. He points out that the Bush admin. added debt but taxes didnt increase. This is true because government spending causes either an increase in taxes or debt. The reason we have debt is because of government spending that wasnt paid for. "The US government does have to pay interest on borrowed money" this is untrue and absurd, the fed set an interest rate on ALL government loans, right now it is 10% http://www.federalreserve.gov... So we do pay interest on the loans and this creates even more debt. We can hardly afford to pay for the interest rates on these loans let alone the actual debt. He then says that when we accumulate debt more of our money is held by foreigners, no more of it is held by the fed, all interest profits go directly to the fed. And why would people trust a countries currency when they know it will loose value over time? And to defend my point that debt causes inflation, it does. If more money is created to pay for loans and loan interest, then that is inflation. Any increase to the money supply is inflation. Vote CON because I have shown that government spending will cause either a tax increase or a debt increase. Both of which are bat and will only worsen the recession. I have also shown that it is mathmatically impossible for government spending to increase consumer spending, because of tax increases or inflation. Thank you for this intelligent and well thought out debate.
Government spending helps the economy during a recession

My opponent stars off by saying that if people have more money than they will spend more. This is not true, As I said before, if the government increases spending then they have to increase taxes. The only way to avoid it is to borrow loans and never pay them back (as the US has done). This is much, much more harmful than any recession. The US national debt just hit 18 trillion. The total unfunded liabilities is over 116 trillion http://www.usdebtclock.org.... This debt put an immense pressure on the economy, even if the effects are not visible at the present. The US government has to pay at least the interest on the borrowed money, this interest increases exponentially as the debt increases. This is the cause of the inflation. Yes, inflation itself hasnt increased very much, but it still exists. This average inflation of 4% puts pressure on the economy. This increase in debt is unsustainable and usually marks the end of a empire. He references the multiplier effect, but as I have shown before, the stimulus generated from taxes is much less than the amount of taxes. The multiplier also relies on the MPC or marginal propensity to consume. If government spending is increased then this number will change, as taxes are increased. So we see that using the multiplier to justify economic spending is circular logic and invalid. The multiplier will change if taxes are increased because people will have a higher propensity to save, and less to consume. He then bring up pictures of what currencies other countries hold their reserves in. The graph shows that the US dollar is the highest. This is because the US is sweeping the debt under the rug so to say. They just keep borrowing and borrowing, and that will eventually collapse the economy because people will realize the currency is just worthless paper (Germany 1942). While building up debt doesnt seem to have immediate adverse effects it has serious long term effects. I have shown that the multiplier argument is circular and void, that building up debt is adverse for the economy, and that government spending doesnt boost the economy.
Government spending helps the economy during a recession

I accept all definitions. However I would like to add one of my own. Economic equilibrium: is a state where economic forces such as supply and demand are balanced and in the absence of external influences the (equilibrium) values of economic variables will not change. Since we a talking about a economy in economic equilibrium (Centaurus parabus) , we must look at the economic circle flow diagram. http://economicsonlinetutor.com... We see that the only way for the government to inject money into the economy is through government transfers or government spending. This amount of money has to be equal to the money it collects. The only way a government can gain money is through taxes or borrowing money. Since borrowed money has to be paid with taxes we will only look at taxes. Say the government spends 100 billion dollars, they can either pay this with tax money or by borrowing 100 billion dollars (with interest), This would fufill the circular flow. The result of this, nothing if not negative. The consumers may have more money but they now have to pay more taxes, this offsets any fiscal gain from the government spending. It may be more, depending on the interest rate on the government loan. This makes spending during a recession harmful. My opponent may say that the debt is not payed back immediately. But this too is is a harmful option. If the cost of government spending is offset, then the dollar will lose its value as a fiat currency. The world market will see that government as irresponsible or illegitimate. Because after all, what is the point of money if you can spend it and never pay it back? This is where Centarus parabus comes in, it means all other things equal. It is a term used in economics for specific examples and models. We have to make certain assumptions in order to be able to predict or analyze anything (as we are doing right now). We assume that the economy is in equilibrium, if we don't answering the question would be impossible. Moving onto my opponents case. He starts off by giving the formula for nominal GDP, which is correct. But we see that the C (consumer spending) would decrease an equal if not greater amount that G (government spending). This is because more of the consumers money would be directed towards taxes. They say that "the more money people have the more goods and services they will demand" This ties in with my last point, they will not demand more because they will have less money, or their money will be worth less because of high inflation, due to government loans. They then say that gov. conributes 70% of GDP. But in fact they only contribute 21% (http://www.cato.org...). The average citezen pay about 50% of his money to taxes (http://www.nowandfutures.com...). The higher rate is because of fed interest rates and government inefficiency. So 10 dollars in taxes only generates 5 dollars in growth, thats a loss. I have shown that government spending does not help but actually causes economic harm, I have have also shown that government spending must be balanced by taxes and loans, both of which hurt the consumers.
Government spending helps the economy during a recession

GDP : Gross domestic product. This is the value of all goods and services produced domestically in a year. The higher GDP is, the stronger the economy. GDP = C + G + I + (X - M) G = government spending. By increasing government spending, GDP increases. Low taxes and high government spending is expansionary fiscal policy. "One form of expansionary policy is fiscal policy, which comes in the form of tax cuts, rebates and increased government spending." http://www.investopedia.com... So why is it especially appropriate for the government to spend money during a recession? Because the more money somebody has, the more goods and services they demand. A recession is the result of low economic activity or of low demand. If government increases the amount of money people have to spend (through increased government wages, funding public projects. etc.) the more money people will spend. Increased consumption spending (made possible by increased government spending) stimulates the economy and accounts for 70% of our GDP. http://smallbusiness.chron.com... This is why government spending helps the economy during a recession.
Government spending helps the economy during a recession

This debate is referring to the US economy. By 'helps the economy' I mean that it increases economic output. Burden of proof is shared. Economy: "the wealth and resources of a country or region, especially in terms of the production and consumption of goods and services. Recession: "A significant decline in activity across the economy, lasting longer than a few months. It is visible in industrial production, employment, real income and wholesale-retail trade.
