Debating is not a useful tool for society and is corrupt.

Thank you for posting. I have exactly 2 hours to post."Yes, you "showed" how "useful" it is in a quite frankly unsubstantial and fallacious manner. And since the purpose of debate is "not in the resolution" then why were you bring it up?"You brought it up. But whatever, that argument is useless because it is not in the resolution."Maybe "good" debaters don't do this, but are all debaters "good"? And you may have good intentions in the debate, but that doesn't mean you won't voluntary or involuntary do it."Nobody is forced to lie and use ill tactics. "There are "good", honest intentions for/humane methods to kill others also, does that make it right?"Debating is not hurting anyone. Your only argument about debates being bad are that people can lie and use ill tactics, but without those it is not hurting anyone. "Because I'm not simply saying "debating is not useful" which has no context for the way I'm using the word "useful" and what I'm applying it to."So what do you want to argue then? I proved debating is useful by the definition, and now you are saying that it is not what you meant? Unless you define otherwise, the standard dictionary definition applies."You have not "proved" debating is a useful(1.advantageous, helpful, or of good effect) tool for society, you proved it was useful for you."Not for me, for debaters, therefore for society."This, quite frankly, is a straw man argument, my argument has been over-simplified to only 2 premises.My argument has much more premises then this and can not accurately be summarized like this."No, it is not a straw man. Look at your arguments in R1. Yes, there are also arguments about debating not being useful, but that summarization was about the corrupt argument."Actually [4] and [5] support this by explaining/describing debate as an art of persuasion, to convince the crowd your opponent is wrong. Due to the fact that winning a debate doesn't make the proposition true, it leads to a false conclusion."Convincing people =/= False conclusion."My opponent has used multiple hasty generalizations, anecdotal arguments, inconsistency, false dichotomys, appeal to hypocrisy, misquotes, post hoc, detours and avoiding questions, exaggerated my position/over-simplified/straw man, ignored the proposition, and dimissed questions and arguments as "does not prove the resolution" when they themselves incited them. I have not. I trust the audience to decide this."Debating is not a useful tool for society and corrupt in context under my opponents definitions:"use·ful1. being of use or service; serving some purpose; advantageous, helpful, or of good effect: a useful member of society."Corrupt:1. guilty of dishonest practices, as bribery; lacking integrity;crooked: a corrupt judge. 2. debased in character; depraved; perverted; wicked; evil: acorrupt society.My opponent has not adequately counter meHowever, I have explained the ways debate is capable of causing harm and why it is not beneficial.As what I said before in round 4our remains, as I do not think is was substantially debunkled." Notice how my opponent uses the word capable. Of course, anything is capable of causing harm. My opponent's only argument of why debating is corrupt is that people use ill manered tactics. However, I showed that people do not always do that, they lose points, and as a result, people do not do that. People are not supposed to do that and that is what a debate is. According to my opponent's logic, cars are bad because people can potentially run people over. Computers are bad because people can potentially hack bank accounts. "The goal of a debate is to win, not truth."Aha! And you were going, "No, I did not say the purpose of a debate is to win" a while ago! You lose conduct!"This means it has the consequential effect of deceiving people by persuading them to believe based on win/lose. This is obviously not a good effect on society."Convincing people =/= decieving(lying)"Debating is not healthy for society because it seperates people into factions, this is not good for society as it does not affect social trust positively and ."Okay, you have repeated that 3 times already.ConclusionMy opponent has failed her BOP that:1. Debating is not useful(completely dropped)2. Debating is corrupt
