The United States Federal Govt. should subs. increase PublicHealthAssistance 2 Sub-Saharan Africa

"Do not punish the aff because the neg was too lazy to research. That is what the reserve voter of laziness was." First I would like to point out that the fact that he just says 'RVI' does not prove anything. There is no analysis in this argument. There is no reason why laziness hurts him, and he doesn't even try to prove this. This takes out all of his RVIs. Do not vote on the RVI, there are no pre-fiat implications beyond the fact that 'I'm lazy'. I will go on to the counter plan and go for this in this debate, because my opponent did a very poor job answering it. There is a major flaw in this argument: " there are hundreds of ways to fight aids, safe blood is one, and Ireland has not proven they can solve using safe blood. They are good some other way, they have to prove that they can do it with safe blood, thus no Solv." Think about it. I want my opponent to think one step deeper. 1. Blood loss is a major cause of AIDS 2. If we can solve for blood loss, we can solve AIDS 3. Ireland Solves AIDS If Ireland solves for AIDS, and blood is the only way to solve, they will do this through blood packets. It's hard to explain, but try to understand. Say by some chance Ireland can't administer blood. If they solve for AIDS, why do it? The only advantage the aff had was AIDS. Who cares if Ireland can't administer blood packets, they can solve for AIDS, which is the point in debating this. One more thing. The aff has never proven the US can solve better than the US. I have proved that Ireland can solve. It is the duty of the aff to prove me wrong. Until he does, you can only vote neg to save millions of lives, and avoiding extinction. Lastly, how hard is it to admister a blood packet? I bet Ireland could learn in one day and teach it to the Africans, and they can do it themselves. Heck, even I could change a blood packet. "Not true and stereotypical? How so? They are a different country, of course health things will be different!" I urge my opponent to back this up. And, with evidence. Sure, something or another may be legal there and not here, but safe practices are practiced through the entire world. If you get a scrape, what do you do? You put a band-aid on it. Does everyone honestly think they don't do that in Ireland? "Um, no. You said that Ireland is doing the aff plan, dont switch what they are doing, they have to do my plan, not something similar." Ok, wow. Here's my plan text. TEXT: THE REPUBLIC OF IRELAND will substantially increase it health care to sub-Saharan Africa by adopting the recommendations of the American Association of Blood Banks. adopting the recommendations of the American Association of Blood Banks. adopting the recommendations of the American Association of Blood Banks. adopting the recommendations of the American Association of Blood Banks. Yeah, notice the words 'adopting the recommendations of the American Association of Blood Banks.' in there. Their taking those same recommendations and turning it into the aff's plan. And also, how could they possibly 'take over the plan'? That's ridiculous. First, the plan HASN'T EVEN BEEN PASSED YET. How could you steal something that doesn't exist? Second, it is physically impossible to take over America's plan. What are they going to do, come into America and overthrow the AABB? That argument is completly illegitamate. "I proved that ALL AID will be stolen." Including Irelands... thus their corruption program fails and your CP has NO SOLVENCY or NET BENEFIT. " What?! My opponent jumps to MASSIVE conclusions. I proved that AMERICAN aid will get stolen. Cross apply Ayodele in 05. I also proved none of Ireland's aid will get stolen. Cross apply O'Boyle in 07, which states this: "Ireland is set to extend its aid spending from EUR800million this year to EUR1.5billion in 2012."This is a massive increase and we need to ensure the money is spent correctly." Mr Lenihan said... "Thankfully, there has never been any major misappropriation or wastage of Irish aid." That card proves that there was never ANY MONEY stolen from Ireland. You need to look to this first because it is the only card in this argument. "As my opponent dropped my entire case, he agrees I do have solvency and the US can do this. Thus you should aff to make sure that lives will be saved. " Are you kidding me? I fail to see ONE CARD in this round that says specificially the USA needs, and can, solve this crisis. Just scroll up, you won't find it. Don't let him bring up a new card, as I can not respond to it. However, you will find cards that say IRELAND can solve. Ireland not only focuses on short term solutions, but also HELPS the governments to provide longer term sustainability. Ireland's own success with its technological revolution shows that they can do the same in Africa. "He also completely dropped the part where I said that this is US run, and governments cant steal the aid, thus I dont bite the DA anyway. Thus with no DA standing, (non unique, no link)," First of all, he never even mentioned n-u until that last statment, so just throw that out. Let's attack the no link- 1. I'd like my opponent to prove, with cards, that the US will not link to corruption. This is an empty argument and does not have any warrant whatsoever. 2. Aff is sending blood packets. I have proved time and time again with Ayodele 05 that ANY AID FROM THE AMERICAS WILL BE STOLEN. My opponent just says, 'we don't link'. There is really no reason for this, see as how: 3. Uniqueness outwieghs the link. If corruption is so rampant in Africa and there is so much violence, we can not even think about giving aid without addressing the governmental problem. These dictators are stuffing their fat corrupt pockets and are getting more and more greedy. They are not focused on helping their people, but rather fighting or personal gain. Offense on the CP- 1. Ireland can solve. They are the Keltic Tiger. They have the technology to focus on long term sustainability, AS WELL as solving the aff. What's more important, saving lives or giving blood packets? Well, Ireland can do both, while aff can do one. 2. My opponent never responded to the fact that IRELAND CAN SOLVE BETTER because of their IT technology. 3. All US aid will fail. Ireland effectivley works with the government, implements aid, and gets out of there. As we can see from Iraq, the US is committed to faulty goals that can not get resolved. 4. Ireland can solve AIDS, and that is the reason for doing the aff plan. It doesn't even matter if Ireland can't administer blood packets, which they can, because they are taking an easier approach to reaching the aff's goal, which was never responded to by the aff. Ireland solves much better than the United States. They take quicker approaches and foucus on long term sustainability, not to mention solve back to the aff's plan. Vote neg if you want to help those poor, sick, dying people and stop this AIDS crisis once and for all.
