Santa Claus is a creepy old man

Challenge accepted! As Pro has presented arguments in the first round, I will rebut them as well as presenting my own. First, let's see what creepy really means. According to Merriam Webster, creepy is of, relating to, or being a creep : annoyingly unpleasant. http://www.merriam-webster.com...There are many perspectives that can be taken with this debate. As Pro did not define this case, I will. For the sake of this debate, I believe that we should be looking through the eyes of the little child, as they are the true stakeholders when it comes to christmas. Santa directly affects little kids, as they are the ones who believe that Santa is real and "receive gifts" from Santa when it comes to Christmas. Furthermore, Pro says, "My opponent will have to defend his case why Santa is harmless. "I would like to contend this statement. As the resolution, and Pro has affirmed it, is Santa is creepy, I believe that it is my burden to prove that Santa is not creepy, not why Santa is harmless. If this resolution was "Santa causes harm", then that would be a related burden to take. Therefore, I will prove that Santa is not a creepy man. I will go through a quick rebuttal of Pro's arguments.1. First off, this line from the song "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" is simply a metaphor. It is not to be taken for it's literal meaning. It is not possible that Santa should see every child when they are sleeping and knowing when they are awake. Therefore, it should be obvious that this line is a metaphor. I believe that this line suggests that Santa is like a fatherly and protective figure towards children. Therefore, as Santa does not truly see kids when they are sleeping and knowing when they are awake, Santa is not a creepy man, but rather a kind, protective man. 2. The question that must be asked is this: does breaking and entering cause you to be a creep? I believe that this is false. I am sure that there are many burglars that have been arrested for breaking and entering, but are not considered creeps. Being a criminal does not necessarily entitle you to be a creep as well. Therefore, Santa is not a creepy man, but could be considered a criminal. 3. Does Santa really have a slave force of elves? Let's see. According to Dictionary. com, a slave is a person who is the property of and wholly subject to another. . http://dictionary.reference.com...Santa's elves choose to work for Santa, they are not forced to work in those conditions. If you look at any Christmas movie, the elves are always portrayed as happy, and happy to be working for Santa. It is my belief that if you were a slave, you would not have this happiness to work for your master. Therefore, it is logical to assume that Santa's elves are not slaves at all, but rather employees or volunteers. Therefore Santa is not a creepy man, but rather a kind boss. 4. Does he? When you go to malls, it is always kids who line up to sit in Santa's lap. It is my belief that Santa does not want kids to sit in his lap, but rather kids want to sit in his lap. And like the kind man he is, he allows them to sit in his lap and take pictures. Therefore, Santat is not a creepy man, but rather, a kind man. 5. Let's see why Santa does not go to jewish houses. It is because Jewish people don't celebrate Christmas, but rather, they celebrate Hannukah. Without a Christmas Tree, how is Santa going to give presents to Jewish kids? It is not possible. Therefore, it is pointless to go to Jewish houses. Therefore Santa is not a creepy man, but rather, a sensible man.6. Why does living at the North Pole entitle him to be creepy? It is quite possible that Santa is anti-social and does not like interacting with society. As people, everyone is different, and just because you are different from society, it does not mean that you are creepy. Therefore, Santa is not a creepy man, but rather, someone who would rather live with his family apart from society. Moving on to arguments:1. Children's PerspectiveAs I affirmed earlier, it is my belief that the children's perspective is the most important in this debate, as they are the true stakeholders. What do the children think of Santa? Certainly not creepy. The children look forward to Santa each year to bring them presents. It is logical to assume that as a result, tehy believe that Santa is not creepy, because if he were, then the children would not look forward to Christmas each year. As children are what matters most in this debate, we see that this is truly important. Therefore, as the children do not think that Santa is creepy, he is not a creepy man.2. Parent's PerspectiveHow do children learn of Santa? Most times, their parents teach them these stories when they are little. As parents always want the best for their children, it is logical to assume that they too believe that Santa is not creepy. Because if he were, then it is obvious that the parents would not teach their kids about Santa. Furthermore, we also see proof of parents' and childrens' thoughts at malls during Christmas time. Children look forward to taking a picture with Santa and are happy to. Parents allow their kids to sit on Santa's lap, and they take pictures. Therefore it is logical to assume that they do not believe Santa creepy. If Santa was replaced with a man with mice running all over him, it would be a different story. Then, almost all children and parents would avoid them, as they believe that he is creepy. Conclusion. Therefore, as the majority of all people believe that Santa is not a creepy man, he is not a creepy man. As a democratic society, it is majority rules. It seems to me that Pro is the only person who believes that Santa is creepy. Furthermore, if you look at any movie or TV show, Santa is always conveyed as a jolly man, not a creepy man. Therefore, it is obvious that no one else thinks of him as creepy. I have pointed out two types of people, parents and children, who most likely "interact" with Santa on an annual basis on Christmas. I have shown why they do not believe Santa as creepy. As these people are the ones who interact with Santa the most, it is their perspective that matters the most. These people also make up the majority of any population. Therefore, as the majority and most important people believe that Santa is not creepy, Santa is not creepy.
