Europe is Superior to the U.S

Pro has posted arguments in the last round. I must post counter-arguments or risk dropping numerous claims now. I will keep news counter-arguments to a minimum, but I must post them none-the-less now.Premise I: Europe v European CountriesPro's Premise does not relate to mine. I explained that Nation A having less crime and Nation B having more income does not mean Europe has less crime and more income, especially since you can only live in Nation A or Nation B. This is empirically true, as the alternative (Sum of It's Parts) is a fallacy. Her Primse is that she must only prove one nation is better... However, she states that we are arguing in a general sense (read R1 opening) and therefore she must prove that Europe is generally better.Premise II: RelativityPro is mistaken to assume all of the arguments can be objectively proven. Only Economics and Lifestyle are objective (most of Lifestyle, at least) while culture and politics is not. What culture you prefer (Rome v New York, for example) is relative, and which Political Ailment is best is a matter of opinion until one is proven objectively true... Something that is outside this debate's size and scope to prove.Pro can not objectively prove to a Conservative that Europe is better because they legalized Abortion and Gay Marriage.Rebuttal I: LifestyleA) HealthcarePro still asserts that because most Americans are obese, that they are obese because they are American. This is false correlation and causation. To prove America is worse, she must show that America is the reason they are obese. And correction: Most Americans are overweight, not obese. Obesity is not the same as just being overweight.Pro nitpicks my argument. I didn't say America was better because it attended to one ailment faster... But all Ailments. If you reread my argument, Lung Cancer was only one example, the argument was in a general sense. If pro had checked my sources, she'd know that. In almost every field of medical emergencies, the US is better than Europe. In Europe, it takes 4x as long to attend to any given emergency (as my source states.)European Life Expectancy vs American Life Expectancy isn't a huge issue since the divide between the US and the top European nation is just over 3 years (1). A difference so small is hardly empirical. It states a lot about the US Medical Industry that, with all those ailments, the US is still only 3 years behind Iceland. Also, I never dropped the cost case. I explained that costs are less as important as getting to the ER in time, something few Europeans do. Pro believes expense is a vital statistic here, but spending less =/= better spending. Pro has given no reason to believe that the US is spending too much. Not just that the US is spending more. Even though the US spends more, it must be remembered that the US also earns more. Pro states that Germany has a program the US doesn't. So? What impact has it had? Pro's argument bares no context and fall flat of being empirical. Pro's claim is also false. Germany may have Government Programs, but that doesn't mean the US doesn't have Disease Management Programs. In Fact, the US has a large privatized industry (which, to any Conservative, sounds better than Government-ran programs.)(2)B) CrimesRegarding crimes. I stated how Pro's claim was a fallacy because she cherry-picked her crimes by including only homicide, and leaving out Rape, Robbery, Assault, and others. Also by only showing male-rapes and leaving out female-rapes. There need not be more context than that. And she does it again by discussing cities only. I don't recall the US and Europe were just a bunch of cities... If you actually look at the total rate of crime, Europe is double the US (per capita). Pro continues to ignore this and focus only on places and specific crimes that helps her case. And using the cities that help suggest? Suggestive evidence only works if there is no empirical evidence. I have shown empirically the total violent crimes rates.Pro treats Homicide and Gun Violence as the only violence that matters. Arguing further against her cherry-picked stats is pointless. Europe has more violent crime and more rape. Side stats (male only rape, for example) is not important here, as they are cherry-picked and contextless. Rape is higher among men in the US? Rape is higher, period, in Europe.Pro has dropped my case on Cost of Living.[1] http://en.wikipedia.org...[2] http://en.wikipedia.org...Rebuttal II: Economics.Debt is NOT measured by size, but by interest and Per Capita percentages. I stated debt in my R2 argument. Pro dropped it, and is now bringing it back up.The US has a relatively small debt. At $16.4 trillion, as Pro states, the debt would be only 93% of the economy [2] (although the debt is a bit larger than that, Pro's numbers are outdated. It's actually 106%). However, it should also be stated that only debt owed to other nations is considered debt. The rest is internal. Including external debt, the debt is 72.5% of the economy [3]. This puts the US behind Germany, Spain, France, UK, Greece, and Italy. Those aren't the only one's though.The Actual Debt:Total:US - 106%Europe - 158%External Debt:US - 72.5%Europe - 161%(All averages found using Google Sheets on Source 3).As I said earlier... The US has less Debt than most European Nations. No major European Nation is under the US.Pro continues saying that because Minimum Wage is higher in Europe, that Wages are also higher. I have literally stated the actual wages, and the US is $6,000 a year ahead of the highest earning European Nation. Minimum Wages does not mean higher wages. This suggestive data only works when empirical data is not present, but it is present. Greece has a higher minimum wage? They'll need it since the actually Average Wage there is only $15,000 a year, $30,000 less than the US (see source 8 in R3.)Pro dropped my case about Unemployment, Increased Work Force, Oil Prices, Oil Dependency, and Taxes.[2] http://en.wikipedia.org...[3] http://en.wikipedia.org...Rebuttal III: Culture.Pro's case does not imply that US Films are not evidence for US Culture. If anything, it's evidence that European actors and directors enjoy working with US Culture. Meanwhile, it doesn't account for shows like Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny. Or the Books and Authors I listed off. And Native American culture is a part of US culture. Unless Pro can prove that you can find Native American ruins in Europe, it stands that the only place to find those is in America. Pro can't include cultures that help her, than exclude any that doesn't help her.Pro dropped my case on Tourists. It should be noted that a tourist from Germany visiting France is no different than a New Yorker visiting Washington DC.Rebuttal IV: Education.Pro must understand that not having enough characters is not a reason to drop cases. One must delete excess and find space to counter everything said.Pro claims that how far apart scores are isn't important. This is false. That is not are scores are measured, at all. If Pro can't measures numbers the way the are meant to be measured (Debt to GPD, Scores based on groups, etc...) then her measurements will be wrong. As I stated last round, Russia, the top ranked nation in Europe or education, is only 3% higher than the US. Margin of Error is higher than that. Scores are grouped together since the gap between scores is everything that matters. This is why Timmy, with an 87% in school, is not ranked behind Tommy, with an 89%... They are ranked equally as B+ students.To say the US is behind is to ignore the means by which scores are ranked.Rebuttal V: Politics.Pro's case is repetitive and meaningless by this point. Unless she proves that Gay Marriage should be legal and the Death Penalty is wrong, her case is relative, and falls short of every voter who believes Gay Marriage is wrong and the Death Penalty is right. You can not simply say "I have X" without first proving X is good.Pro can not just say "it lacks context." Pro must give the context it lacks, or her case here is void. My case may not be common, but the arrest, as my source stated, was legal. This means that you can be arrested for saying the Bible is against Homosexuality. Hate Speech is still Freedom of Speech, the US recognizes that as every citizens right. Pro has only explained that Europe is Liberal, which makes it worse than the US to anyone who is against Liberalism. Human Rights are not entirely objective. Most Americans believe in the Death Penalty, so to say the Death Penalty is wrong in the US without proving it is meaningless. Pro has not aimed to show Europe is better... Just that it's more Liberal.Conclusion:Pro has only repeated her arguments. She has done little to add to them, and has dropped most of mine.Europe has:-Higher Debt-Higher Taxes-Higher Unemployment-Higher Violent Crime Rates-Worse Waiting List for Emergencies-Lower Wages-Lower Rate of Added JobsThe US has:-Higher Wages-Faster ER Time-Lower Oil Prices-Lower Taxes-Higher Increase in Employment-Higher Oil IndependenceCulture is RelativePolitics is RelativeEurope is not better than the US. If anything, Europe is economically, criminally, and (to a Conservative) politically worse than the US.
