Devyani Khobragade: US was wrong, but India is being immature !!

DISCLAIMERPro's performance in this debate was disappointing. He used blatant lies to cover up his plagiarism, while refusing to satisfy his burden of proof by showing how the US was wrong, but simply making appeals to emotion such as that Devyani Khobragade is from India and India is his motherland.To establish that the arrest was wrong, Pro had to either prove one of the following: (1) Khobragade deserved special treatment as opposed to regular convicts in the US, (2) Khobragade was innocent or (3) that the arrest itself was disgusting and ruthless.Pro argued for (1) and then dropped the argument after I established that Khobragade's immunity is only limited to consular functions.Pro didn't argue for (2) but agreed that Khobragade abused her maid, Sangeeta Richard.Pro argued for (3) without giving any evidence, but simply calling her arrest rutheless and disgusting.Rebuttal: According to US Attorney Preet Bharara, "The agents arrested her in the most discreet way possible, and unlike most defendants, she was not then handcuffed or restrained. In fact, the arresting officers did not even seize her phone as they normally would have. Instead, they offered her the opportunity to make numerous calls to arrange personal matters and contact whomever she needed, including allowing her to arrange for child care. This lasted approximately two hours. Because it was cold outside, the agents let her make those calls from their car and even brought her coffee and offered to get her food." I personally do not see how any of that is "ruthless" or "disgusting." If Pro is referring to the strip-search, then that is a standard procedure practiced on every American citizen for prison security, and there is nothing disgusting about it. In Khobragade's case, it was performed by a female officer and in a private setting, as it is practiced to any American convict in a professional and respectful manner.REBUTTALPro exclaims, "why is Con crying out loud that I have plagiarized my points as i just want to tell that I had no intention or motive to copy from another site, as in recent past, i had gone through this discussion very often and i had read from various sources about this whole issue. so, maybe this time points have matched as the Con is saying in his previous argument."Rebuttal: It's obvious from Pro's weak English that he couldn't possibly have written the previous paragraphs. Nevertheless, I'm going to show that Pro did not have "matching points" as he falsely claims but that he copied and pasted the paragraphs exactly.Pro in his first round plagiarized a whole article called "Devyani Khobragade: US was wrong, but India is being immature." He copied/pasted the paragraphs without any modifications(http://www.firstpost.com...):"Devyani Khobragade treated her houseworker as a wage slave and expected to get away with it. That is ridiculous, as is her lawyer's excuse that she can't afford to pay the minimum wage ($1600/month). if you can't pay for the child, don't have one.The US treatment of her is ridiculous as well. She is a diplomat and deserves a few extra perks, being detained diplomatically and not having strip searches for a crime that wouldn't require it. If she were caught smuggling something, a cavity search would be warranted, but this was different.The Indian reaction, screaming Tit for Tat, an Eye for an Eye, will leave everyone blind. It's immature and ridiculous, and forcibly removing the security barriers at the embassy is dangerous, especially in a country that has had dozens of bombings in the past two decades. "Does India forget the support that the US offers it, the welcoming of its citizens as residents and immigrants (who send home billions of dollars a year in remittances) and everything else that comes with a diplomatic relationship? No, obviously not, the Indian government and people would rather take out their frustrations on the US because it's an easy target.It's easier for India's politicians to gain some short term street credibility with their constituents by screaming loudly and spreading hate than it is to focus on their own very real problems. "Pro in his second round plagiarized from an article called "Devyani Khobragade case: Why the US will have to back down" as noted in my previous round. There is also plagiarism from two more sources but I think that those are enough....Pro argues, "Con's point that Devyani had come to US on her own will is totally null and void as we all that She Is an Indian diplomat living in US and it's her work and duty to work for India."Rebuttal: She chose that position knowing that she would live in the US and be under US laws, and that her immunity according to the Vienna agreement only includes her consular functions. Therefore, she chose to be under US Laws, and so she should respect them or leave her position to someone that does.Pro argues, "the way you are talking for that girl i.e Devyani is just unacceptable as I am a Proud Indian citizen and I will always stand for my mother land"Rebuttal: If you're truly supporting your "mother land," you would care about all Indian citizens, not just the higher caste. You would care about Sangeeta Richard and many other Indian maids being mistreated, exploited and threatened by those public figures you support, and not enraged because a "spoiled maiden" does not like being touched and searched, even after she abuses and disrespects the life of an Indian woman. What if that woman was your mother or your sister? SUMMARYPro failed in satisfying his burden of proof, dropped many arguments(which mostly were not even his) and ignored many of my rebuttals, while either copying/pasting whole paragraphs from other sources, or simply giving inadequate responses.I thank Pro for starting this debate.It was at least interesting.
