Letting the bunnies out of the cage has a net positive outcome.

Interesting. I must admit, things have taken a turn for the interesting. I will accept all my opponent's definitions from his R2. I will now provide more definitions. Specifically, for the word "cage": :: Definitions :: 1. a box or enclosure having some openwork for confining or carrying animals (as birds) (This is basically the definition my opponent gave for a physical cage) 2. Metaphorical Cage (My opponent's other definition) 3. a: a barred cell for confining prisoners, b: a fenced area for prisoners of war (I will call it a "Prisoner cage") 4. The bony enclosing wall of the chest consisting chiefly of the ribs and the structures connecting them. (A "Rib Cage") 5. A protective framework of metal bars encasing the driver of a vehicle (as a racing car) (A "Roll Cage") So now we have 5 definitions of cage, 5 definitions of bunnies. Meaning the most scenarios we can get out of this is 25. :: Scenarios :: (For ease, I will keep the same order my opponent used R2, and just add to the end) 1. Rabbits, physical cage. [definition 1 of cage] If the letting out is going against the original intentions of the caging, it would stand to reason that the letter out is not the cager. As in, person A caged them, person B is letting them out. This is almost always going to be a loss of property for person A, since he or she probably owns the bunnies. Bunnies, like most animals, are insignificant compared to humans. The loss of property of one person is more important than the freedom of a bunny. The fact that bunnies are 'cute' does not change this fact, and we should not give them more importance simply because they are cute. People actually do something helpful for society, whereas bunnies do not, especially when uncaged. Also, we cannot assume that the rabbit is being let out in a grassy meadow, either. Since we don't know where it's being let out, the best way to make a decision here is based off of where the bunnies in a cage are most of the time. There are probably very few bunnies in cages that are in a grassy meadow at any given time. Most are in someone's house, in a pet shop, or some other place where the bunnies are supposed to be kept. Letting the bunnies out in these places has the same negative effects I listed last round. Devaluation of property, and perhaps loss of property as well as hassle. Both of which are more important than a bunny's "freedom" to go eat grass and multiply wherever it wants to. 2. Rabbits, metaphorical cage. My opponent's only possible example here is the 'cage' of discrimination. However, bunnies are not in any such cage. If anything, we favor bunnies over the rest of the animal kingdom, simply because they're cute. The examples of discriminatory cages my opponent listed were the past ordeals of black and women - clearly by this, he means the absence of some deserved rights. However, as I said, bunnies do not contribute to society, except when used by humans as a tool. The only time they are useful is when they are property, and therefore they should be treated as property. Keep them in whatever metaphorical cages they might be in. 3. Innocence, physical cage. "Innocence", not "Innocents". It is a concept. It cannot be put in a physical cage, nor can it be let out of one. 4. Innocence, metaphorical cage. Once again, it is the concept "Innocence" being caged, not those who have a lot of it. Therefore, my opponent's examples here are nonsensical as well. There's really not a way to let innocence out of a cage, or not one I care to think up. As of now, though, this scenario is meaningless. 5. Fertility, physical cage. Another impossibility. Meaningless as well. 6. Fertility, metaphorical cage. My opponent's example here does not constitute metaphorically caging fertility. Since the actual fertility is not affected at all in the situation, it cannot be said to be caged. Another scenario with no meaning, and I will leave it to my opponent to revive the point next round. 7. Sexuality, physical cage. Once again, a non-physical thing cannot be put in a physical cage. Therefore, this scenario makes no sense. 8. Sexuality, metaphorical cage. I accept the scenario of a person explicitly denying themselves of playful sexuality as an effective caging of playful sexuality. As in scenario 1, the physically-caged bunnies, the person obviously has some reason for caging it [remember, to let something out of the cage, it has to be caged first, so we're ONLY talking about people who already restrict their sexuality. Overall, most people who restrict their own sexuality do so based on principles and beliefs they hold. There are few things worse than going against ones own principles, let alone for the quite small prize of stress relief, calmness, and happiness. These are things that can be found in innumerable other places, where going against ones own principles is not required. Video games are a good example. Even debating online can cause such effects. A person should seek out stress relief and happiness, but not through channels that require a breach of ones own principles. The same would be true for calmness, except it's not intrinsically good or bad. 9. Tricksters, physical cage. Tricksters are not trapped in physical cages, at least not cages that aren't included in other definitions of "cage". I would say that if a trickster is somehow put into a cage he does not want to be in, he is no trickster, he is the one who has been tricked. Therefore, this one is irrelevant. 10. Tricksters, metaphorical cage. Trickery is frowned upon for a reason - it is often hurtful, it creates distrust or even false trust, etc. For these same reasons, tricksters should be kept in a metaphorical cage - a cage where people discourage their trickery. Trickery would not be discouraged if there was not a good reason for wanting to avoid it. [New scenarios start here] 11. Bunnies, prisoner cage. Bunnies aren't kept in prisoner of war camps or prisons, and if they are, there is probably a good enough reason for it that they shouldn't be let out. 12. Bunnies, rib cage. Bunnies, or at least a very large portion of them, are confined by their own rib cages. The only way to let them out of this cage is to break the rib cage. This serves no purpose, and the fact that it would ruin a bunny's cuteness is a negative effect. 13. Bunnies, roll cage. In the extremely rare occurrence of bunnies being in a roll cage, they are likely put there to ensure their safety. Even so, this is hardly realistic enough to count for anything. 14-22. Innocence, sexuality, fertility IN A prisoner cage, rib cage, roll cage. These are all meaningless right now. 23. Tricksters, prisoner cage. If tricksters is in a prisoner cage, it is because he has done something illegal to be put there. When considering the length of time most people are in a prison, consider that there are very few instants when letting them out of the cage is appropriate. At all other instants, letting them out of the cage is inappropriate. It would lead to an ineffective legal system, unfairness, etc. Therefore, the net effect here is negative. 24. Tricksters, rib cage. As with bunnies, the only way to let people out of their rib cages is by breaking their rib cages. This has apparent negative effects. 25. Tricksters, roll cage. At all instants but a few, letting tricksters who are in a roll cage out of it is unsafe, with possible dire consequences [death, bad PR, etc]. And that'll be it from me this round. I'll rebut and recap next round.
