should cyberbullying be taken seriously

Ladies and Gentlemen I beg of you to see no persuasion in this weak case presented via the affirming. This is simply because the case presented simply leads nowhere at all, only outlines an opinion of an issue, being cyber bullying should not be taken seriously. I have analysed the case and nowhere have con stated how they are going to go about this. They did list some minor solutions like leaving sites, and toughening up, but how are the going to display this idea and enforce it all around the world? This is a key missing piece in their case for it determines whether or not their will be problems with enforcing their idea. This case I present to you today shall be purely based upon a dissection of con's arguments. Please note that the order of my rebuttal is in the order of their case. I shall break it down simply for you by quoting a bit of cons argument and then shall explain it in further. "opposite views on the subject" - im sorry i actually have a mutual view on the matter, im simply representing ones other opinion. "my case is people are way too sensitive" - why wasn't this listed in your setup? At the very end of your case you try to explain to me how a debate works when clearly you have no clue what you are presenting forward, and how u are going to go about it. When have you told us how you are going to go about making people less sensitive? We now have to assume you are going to do nothing about it and just let them suffer for you have not yet of listed it. "worse things in the world than cyberbullying" - Great to see we can relate on an issue, however that does not mean we should just ignore it and leave it, we can save people "fish poo in water and food" at the same time as we can resolve cyberbullying. We cannot just set aside all the issues in the world just to focus on your "fish poo in water and food". "people should not be depressed from insults" - so ladies and gentlemen you hear that, the affirming believes if you are called something, lets say "fat", then you shouldn't be offended by it. Imagine if you are called fatty, or flat chest, man boobs, anything and you could not take offence to it, you just had to move on with your life, this purely gives the bullies every right to keep saying it until it becomes a normal online greeting. Imagine looking down to your phone to see the words in bold on texts say "greetings fat person" or imagine even a friend or family member seeing the text. "its their choice to kill themselves" - well in the majority of countries it is illegal to kill yourself. if u are suggesting that suicide is ok in this world you are defying laws, if you wanted to make suicide legal as well you should have once again included this in your setup. "taking an insult is not an important issue, called a get over it and move on" - so people who do take offence should just suffer and end up illegally killing themselves with no choice of will because their minds are overpowered with emotions of sadness, not help should be given??? "people would get over petty insults" - is this purely based on ones assumption because u said that you where only going to use facts and logic??? and what are you going to do with the people who dont get over the so called petty insults? Do you take into consideration that some insults are not actually "petty"? "there are worse things in the world than cyberbullying" - yes, we agree however that does not mean you should just stop caring about the people who are cyberbullied. " people will realise how petty cyberbullying really is" - im gathering another assumption??? also would this really happen if you remove all help towards people who are cyberbullied, don't you think people would realise how bad of a problem it is, no councilling and help for these people would only make the issue greater. "we should make it so that people realise how stupid and petty cyberbullying really is" - how are you going to do this!!!! why wasn't this listed in your setup??? and is child abduction and rape petty??? because online web chats and stuff all lead to this. "whether its their fault or not there will always be weak people" - We need to help these weak people, for all we know you could be one of the weak people and you would be crying when you don't have help. Affirming's point 9 refers to no articles suggesting cyber bullying has lead to physical violence. However, without even needing to do research it is very clear that self-violence which is physical can be caused via cyberbullying. Let alone rape and abduction cases caused by web chat sites, whether you admit it or not this is a form of cyber bullying, and even cyber bullying with calling names etc leads to meeting up in real life to have a fight. "more important issues in the world" - of course, global warming, health care, education........etc. But the one the affirming team suggested in their opening case was about fish poop in food and water. What a great substitute for cyberbullying. Ladies and gentlemen you have witnessed this yourself, the affirming team believe that fish poop in food and water (which when does that happen) is more important than depression and suicide. They have got their priorities in the wrong place. Then furthermore reading your case I came across you telling me how a debate should work and you saying "that is simply not how a debate works, you can't point to a problem and complain about it without giving a solution. Well ladies and gentlemen don't get me wrong but isn't this statement are representation of the whole affirming's case? They have told us a problem in saying that cyber bullying should not be looked at as a problem, but not told us how they are going to go about forming a solution? Very hypocritical and contradicting of your case. "and by the way with the insults. This is a debate not a youtube comments section" - the insult was purely a challenged conclusion and again is it not hypocritical to state that when you stated the cyberbullying comments are just something stupid like "ur dum lol", is that not an insult to every single human being that has being cyber bullied and has suffered depression, is that not offensive to all the people who have wanted to kill themselves for when people have said cruel things much more than your stereotypical "ur dum lol". HOW DO YOU THINK ALL THOSE INNOCENT LIVES WOULD FEEL WHEN THEY THINK THAT THEIR LIVES BEING DESTROYED IS BECUASE OF JUST SOME "ur dum lol" comment. "i have not seen or heard from anything that involving cyberbullying that has made me think "wow, what a sad and depressing cyberbullying article" - again!!! what is with the personal opinions, for all we know you could be a cyber bully and you have no emotions at all, what happend to the facts? "its their choice its none of our business if they get stupid and decide to kill themselves" - it is against the law to kill yourself in most countries and we need to help the people who try to kill themselves. Also do you take no emotion to suicide? you havent denied that it is problem in cyber bullying but yet you state you haven't found anything that made you think "wow what a sad and depressing... Again if you want to change the laws involving suicide please in future list this in your setup. "because cyber bullying is a person miles from you saying mean things" - did you ever think of stalkers faking their identity living across the road, or maybe even a friend from school, anyone can cyber bully you very opinionated and stereotypical of you to say "miles away" Then finally we come into a conclusion of your case when you basically list some solution to preventing cyber bullying. But wait a minute why are you trying to prevent cyberbullying when you just want to make them suffer and try and get over it. In future please try and make the points and ideas you are trying to get across more straight forward because I am left totally puzzled on what you are even trying to change in this world. Simply this is how you should lay out your case: //////////////////////// Introduction point 1 - main point (principle) and how you are going to go about making this change. point 2 point 3 Conclusion ///////////////////////// Once you can understand the basic concept structure you could then move onto created it more defensive or offensive. Before your eyes ladies and gentlemen we have a case that is leading way in favour of the negating rather than the affirmative. The affirmative have delivered an unclear case as to what they are even going to do, they have brought in self-opinions with no factual evidence and have even stated material defying some laws to do with suicide. They have stereotyped what cyberbullying really is and offended lots of people along the way. I really feel sympathetic for the affirming to try and bring their case back together for their introductory can no longer be changed.
