Arrange Marriage(PRO) Vs Love marriage (CON)

Thank you for your points Con. Since this is the final round, I will only refute. Con has decided my points are “not convincing” and has made no attempt to refute them, therefore he has not evidence that they are “not convincing” and that they are false.In Con’s point 1, Con states that:“love marriage as, it does not has risk how our partner will be because we know each other” which is false has couples are usually blinded by love to see how their partner truly is. If Con’s logic is true, then love marriage couples would not have divorces, violence, abuse, fights and such. His logic is invalid because those issues exist in society.Love marriage and arranged marriage have the risk of having a good or bad partner, it is not a exclusive burden for arranged marriages. Con seems to continuously place exclusive burderns on arranged marriage couples when in reality, both marriages have them.In arranged marriage, the risk factor of redeeming a good spouse is less than love marriage as both family and child work together to judge carefully, as well as marriage bureaus and groups that can help. Compared to love marriage which is usually decided by two people, arranged marriage has much more careful judgment and consideration. As well as that, arranged marriage couples have a more secure future than love couples as they have family backing them up.Whether marriage began with decisions or a meeting – both marriages will still redeem love if both partners commit to it. My points in R2 explain about a study about love in both marriages, which arranged marriage’s love is actually stronger than love marriages. Reffering to Con’s point 2.Although dowry was an innocent tradition in the past which was used to financially support for the future couple, in present, dowry is banned by law in India and not all arranged marriages has dowry within it. [1]Dowry issues would not be solved with everyone going to love marriage – it would be solved if females were allowed proper education to get a job and become financially secure. This would also benefit her if she were to live her life independently. [1]Rich and middle classes are usually fine for giving gifts or dowries (usually the male(‘s family) doing so), however, the poor usually cannot which results in the female child not getting married. [1]Arranged marriage getting removed will NOT solve dowry issues. I support love marriages, however, I decided to argue against my beliefs in attempt to extend my debating skills and see another view. I thank Con for this wonderful debate and wish him the best in future debates. Sources:[1] http://www.mylot.com...

As it is already cleared from Pro argument that her points are not so convincing. MY CASE :-1.NO RISK FACTOR :-I Always support love marriage as,it does not has risk how our partner will be because we know each other.where as arrange marriages has chances of partner being good or worse.Marriage should be done on the basis of love NOT on the basis of caste.2.NO DOWRY SYSTEMStill dowry system is there in India because of arrange marriage.Many women's are tortured and killed to death every year in India. Ones parents as well as society should understand this fact too,that there is marriage between 2 soulmate,not between 2 caste,and what marriage has to do with caste for whole life. It is "Us" the new generation who has to change this system and make our elders understand that there is nothing wrong in Love marriage'.As already discussed in previous rounds, there is not much to argue for here in this debate now , I am done in this debate now. I just wanted to SAY that LOVE IS MOST Important in this world, so SUpport Love marriages. All The best PRO for your round ...:)..:)
Arrange Marriage(PRO) Vs Love marriage (CON)

1. Con states that “in love marriages , there is no such issue to blame parents and relatives”, which is untrue as in some situations, families place pressure on their child by not accepting their future child-in-law, causing issues. Regret and blame occurs to all divorcees, it is not an exclusive burden for arranged marriage couples. 2. “Bond more” does not mean that they would be certain they have no issues with each other, it means that they are less of a stranger and more understanding. Con seems to misunderstand me, my claim is that they have some bonding not that they have enough to be completely certain. Every parent has different judgment, and their decision may result in good or bad, similar to the decision of love couples. Both marriages have the same consequences, and the same severities. It is not forced marriage, arranged marriage couples are still free to break off the marriage if they do not feel ready yet, thus, there would be no divorce issues. Con has presented some evidence, however it is baseless as it is his own personal opinion and cannot be counted as a trusted source. First, I would define the word child using Oxford Dictionary before beginning my arguments. “A son or daughter of any age.” 1. Better future In various cases of love marriages family of the spouses may not accept their child-in-law, distancing themselves from their child or even disowning them. This causes a high risk of issues occurring such as financial, mental and work support which eventually breaks the marriage apart. Arranged marriage is considered a family affair in countries such as India, and offers family support to help the couple have an easier future together. They make sure that their children have financial security as well as other factors of a lasting relationship. Both families will have to come to agreement to the marriage which means that both sides have accepted their future child-in-law.2. Love comesThe difference between love and arranged marriage is that their trust, understanding and love come in different times. Whilst love couples have more time to bond before marriage, arranged marriage couples use their early years to bond more. Research shows that arranged marriages usually love more as time passes, as well as their love turning twice as strong in ten years whilst love marriages love less. This may be due to love marriages usually being blinded by love whilst arranged marriages are carefully considered.3. She/he has a choice tooIt is a belif that the child has no choice in arranged marriages. Whilst they are limited to what they parents choose for them, they are free to accept or deny the suitor if they wish. In India, there is a tradition known as Swayamvar which the bride is free to choose her spouse from list. There are also marriage bureaus and groups which can provide help.This limits the chance of a future of bad marriage.Thank you Con for your points and I look forward to your next one.

Arrange Marriage(PRO) Vs Love marriage (CON)

Well done Pro for such a good argument , although you haven't stated your own points first but well you have nicely contradicted my points.MY CASE:-1.Pro has stated that "arranged marriage couples have the freedom to divorce if they feel uncomfortable."then, its consequences of divorce would be that both of them would be regretting whole life for that mistake and they would always put blame on their parents and on relatives. Whereas, on the other side, in love marriages , there is no such issue to blame parents and relatives , in love marriages couple are themselves responsible for the marriage.2. Pro has stated that "Arranged marriages are also allowed to meet up with their future spouses beforehand to bond more whilst their parents see if they are suitable with each other". This point of con is somehow baseless, because that time is generally not enough for a person to commit to his/her partner for lifetime and also one cannot predict or judge the behaviour of the other person from mere two or three meetings or dates because both of them would have been posing out their best behaviour in front of each other..According to me in various arranged marriages, couple don't realize at first that they aren't fit or suitable for each other or their behaviour doesn't match at all but after marriage they keep on recreating for their mistake and this regret lasts forever.So as my conclusion for this round is Love marriages are better in the sense that there is freedom of choice in choosing one's partner and the individual is responsible for the consequences, good or bad that a love marriage can have. The partners also know and accept each other irrespective of their shortcomings or bad habits. There is perfect bonding of the souls, hence the secret of stability.

Arrange Marriage(PRO) Vs Love marriage (CON)

Thank you Con for starting this debate. I hope we will able to have a wonderful one.Since Con has not clearly defined the purpose of this debate, I will assume that this debate will be arguing which type of marriage is better, judging from Con's arguments. Marriage will not be the ceremony itself, but the time the couple spent together as a married couple. I will be arguing that arranged marriage is better in more aspects than marriage from love.First of all, I would like to point out that Con has plagiarised as he has not listed his sources. His beginning paragraph, "marriage is a sacred bond...", was copied off from:www.boldsky.com/relationship/marriage-and-beyond/2011/love-marriage-arrange-marriage-200611-aid0158.htmlCon also shares the burden of evidence, as if his claims are not supported by factual proof, they will be deemed opinions.Definition of arranged marriageAccording to Oxford dictionaries, arranged marriage is:"A marriage planned and agreed by the families or guardians of the couple concerned.[2]"Arranged marriage is not forced marriage, which is defined as:"A forced marriage takes place when the (spouse(s)) do not want to get married but are forced to by others, usually their families. [3]"Therefore, arranged marriage couples have the freedom to divorce if they feel uncomfortable.Proceeding onto the debate, I would like to begin by rebutting Con's arguments.1. Myth about love marriageThe actions of maintaining a love marriage is by the couple themselves, there is no definite yes they will commit it.A study by Dr Robert Epstein [4] show that arranged marriage couple's love will grow stronger as love marriage couple's love will weaken.2. Better understandingAlthough there may be little time to understand before marriage for arranged marriage couples, they will receive time afterwards to understand each other more.If they feel they are not bonding with each other via understanding, they are free to divorce.3. Trust issuesCon states that "couple generally dont have trust issues with his/her partner because of their love-affair before marriage", which is true, as the couple has spent time together beforehand, to develop trustful connection. Con states there are "no truse issues in Love marriage" which is false, as if there were none, there would be no divorces, fights and family issues.Arranged marriages are also allowed to meet up with their future spouses beforehand to bond more whilst their parents see if they are suitable with each other. [1] If they are not, they are not required to marry.The difference between love and arranged marriages is that their trust is gained at different times, but they will still gain trust in the future.Due to character limit, I will present my points in R2. I wish Con the best of luck.[1] www.thenational.ae/lifestyle/family/a-perfect-match-a-successful-arranged-marriage[2] www.oxforddictionaries.com/[3] www.forcedmarriage.net/whatis.html[4] How Love Emerges in Arranged Marriages (book)
Arrange Marriage(PRO) Vs Love marriage (CON)

Marriage is a sacred bond which not only involves the couple but also the two families of the bride and the bridegroom respectively. Be it arrange marriage or love marriage, marriage is nothing different for both. Love marriage vs arrange marriage is just a question prevalent in minds of married couples who are not satisfied or are scared to live with an unknown partner for whole life. MY CASE :-1.Common myth about love marriage:- There is always a thought in mind that love marriages don't last much, But it is nothing related to the marriage type when it comes to knowing each other and understanding levels. The understanding can be built if you have faith and trust apart from flexibility among the couple.2.Better Understanding :- In love marriages, generally couple have better understanding and bonding towards each-other, because of this reason, many arrange marriage couples feel the lack of time duration which forms a base for developing understanding levels.3.No trust issues in Love marriage :- In love marriages, couple generally dont have trust issues with his/her partner because of their love-affair before marriage.now i would like to hear points fro PRO side first then I will pass my argument against pro.
Paper money has no future; time-rechargeable credit cards are the way to go

It sounds like you want everyone to use a debit card instead of just paper currency? A debit card can provide that E-spending method but where it really comes through is a check, and a check is a part of a double protection system. Not only do you have to swipe your card and pay for the item and that information goes to the bank but the check signed out properly can't be tampered with under federal law. With the idea of your rechargeable credit card it sounds like it would operate just about the same as a normal credit card. Credit fraud is insane. Credit cards are convenient but if you have it spent on something you didn't intend on purchasing your in a tough pickle if you can't return the item or worse even be able to pay for it. My pros of paper currency in my view - Its definite finite cash you can take to the bank or your mattress. - The Government can work with the cash better than a generated number. - The market has a less stable backing on a generated online number than it would if it was just made of paper. The con's on your "Rechargeable Credit Card" - A person has only to steal the card itself instead of a wad of cash. - In these advancing times it becomes easier for other people with a higher knowledge of technology to steal the credits. - You're more reliant on the bank which, in my view, is more reliant to the government. I'm from the United States and I'm looking at it through our market and not the European market and if this goes on I'll gladly go into more detail and delve into other points and problems I find with this but know I don't entirely disagree with this but it just seems other systems are already in place that already provide individuals with an E based banking system. Just take the cash to the bank and use your money from there. We can talk about wealth inequality and The Market in future rounds.
Paper money has no future; time-rechargeable credit cards are the way to go

Opening argument: Paper money has no renewable uses .. if you bring it to a shop it is exchanged for goods and then returned to the bank where the bank may flexibly lend the money to others generating new revenue interest .. this is how the banks make a profit, however the general population is not afforded the same opportunity. whereas the bank can lend 10 people the same 10 euro and end up with 110 euro in the bank (100 + 10 profit from interest) paper money can only be used once, and there is no way to profit from it's ownership. conversely, if the bank were to offer a credit card of say 12E value, that every 24hrs returned to a max limit of 12E for that day, then people would have the same rechargeable access to money that banks do thus leveling out the capitalistic buying power of a rechargeable imaginary bank, and your every day civilian slightly or is at least a step in the direction of wealth equality.
is birth control good or nah

First, let"s understand how birth control pills work in your body. Typically, your body ovulates once a month, ripening a new egg that will then journey down a fallopian tube. Eventually it reaches the uterus, where it would implant, if fertilized. If not fertilized by a sperm, then the lining of the uterus that had built up in preparation for the fertilized egg is unnecessary. Both egg and uterine lining leave your body, cleansing your system and preparing for a new month. When you take birth control pills, you impose synthetic hormones on your natural cycle. Many birth control pills contain high levels of estrogen that effectively convince your pituitary gland that you are pregnant (this explains some of the side effects of the drugs) and that you don"t need to ovulate. Because your body thinks you are pregnant, the uterine lining thickens. Once you start the placebo pills, however, your estrogen level drops suddenly, and your body menstruates "normally." This abnormal cycle is what millions of women experience every month, and yet few doctors discuss the consequences of taking these prescriptions for year after year.
sex tourism is great opportunity

PRO states: "my opponent must live in bronze age" PRO's views are much more representative of the Bronze age than mine.PRO states:"the first point of my opponent, i think is about respect of women which is a very vague and relative and subjective and idealistic issue. " I agree that PRO has no concept of respect of women, which makes any notion of women's rights "very vague, and relative, and subjective." PRO states:"i want to remind my friend of tremendous scientific progress that was made in these decades. STDs and health related issues have definite full-proof remedy provided by modern science. my opponent must not have any respect for science."One word: AIDS. PRO states:"rest of the issues rape, kidnaping, exploitation, murder are very common and natural to every nation around the world with America being the top. they have nothing to do with prostitution and sex trafficking. "I will not even dignify this with a counterargument. PRO states:"i will request my friend to give related concrete points against the motion."PRO has given no sources, no citations, no numbers, nothing, except weak assertions and Bronze Age views on gender equality. Thank god this debate is over. I thank the audience for voting CON.
sex tourism is great opportunity

my opponent must live in bronze age, in a pre historic era and have pre historic value system.the first point of my opponent, i think is about respect of women which is a very vague and relative and subjective and idealistic issue. in this debate we are dealing with concrete issues which are real, objective in nature. so this issue of women’s respect has very little or no value in today’s competitive business world. my opponent’s next points i can guess are STDs, other health issues, rape, kidnaping, exploitation, murder and etc that flows from sex trafficking and prostitution in general. i want to remind my friend of tremendous scientific progress that was made in these decades. STDs and health related issues have definite full-proof remedy provided by modern science. my opponent must not have any respect for science.rest of the issues rape, kidnaping, exploitation, murder are very common and natural to every nation around the world with America being the top. they have nothing to do with prostitution and sex trafficking. i will request my friend to give related concrete points against the motion.thanks.
sex tourism is great opportunity

before telling that sex tourism will benefit the economy i want to tell how and why sex tourism will benefit the country:sex tourism acts as a competitive advantage to the players of tourism industry which has tough competition. everybody offers “tourism” but you offer “sex + tourism”, so one additional value “sex” which is attractive to everyone, will attract people. sound logic, isn’t it? now the result of sex tourism:1. sex tourism increase tourist traffic in a country. it attracts people like nothing and tourists come to the country. thus it increases the flow of foreign currency fund into the country.2. since sex tourism increases tourist traffic into a country, it helps develop tourism industry which in turn create more jobs in the country.3. since sex tourism develops tourism industry, the industries that are ancillary to the tourism industry will also be developed. industries like: hotel, motel, train, airways, theme park, entertainment park etc. will also be developed. so ultimately sex tourism will result into:foreign currency + jobs + development of tourism industry + development of ancillary industry = overall economic development. thats why sex tourism is ok.
Mac is better than Pc (See First Round)

I guess we will just play the rest of this debate by ear. P1: Macs are impenetrable by Virus'sWhen you own a PC, you constantly have to be downloading virus-protection software, and running weekly virus sweeps that can take up to hours. This is less "calming" then having to worry about no virus's at all. If you have a "calm" lifestyle and you need not worry about going to any websites that could potentially harm your Mac, then maybe that can lead to a "calmer lifestyle. " P2: Macs last longer All Mac's (At this time) consist of an Aluminum casing. This aluminum is much more durable than a PC's plastic casing. PC's also consist of moving parts, like fans and disc drives, which can easily break, and are hard to replace unlike Macbook's who do not consist of any moving parts at all. P3: Anything Windows Can do Macs Can do Macs are combat able to run windows (using a software call boot camp) so if there anything any "better" on a windows computer, Mac's can still run it on. .. .. well. .. .. a Mac. Can windows do the same, I don't think so. P4: Programs Any Mac you buy comes with the following programsMailContactsCalendarMac app storeFaceTimeiPhotoiMovieGargebandiTunes Unlike PC's who don't come with any of these programs, or any programs at all for that matter except for Internet explorer, and quicktime player (and a few other useless one's)Lets counter shall we1. "(Con) A Mac is expensive while you can get a Pc can be cheap"Why do you think PC's are cheap, the PC's quality lacks the quality of a Mac. PC's are plastic, Mac's are aluminum. making it more durable. 2. "(Con) A pc is much more practical to use for work related things such as programming or just office work"Mac's can run anything a windows can, plus the things it can already run on a Mac. The amount of virus-free, and miscellaneous software you need to constantly run on your PC can cause a harmful working environment. Running these programs might get in your way of an important paper you need to right soon. If you had a Mac you wouldn't have to worry about any of these. Less worry, less stress, more calmer (lol)3. "(Con) whilst a Mac is good for editing but a pc can do that just as well. "I'm not really sure what whilst means, but I'm going to assume it means while. PC's consist of the worst editing software I have ever used. I do a lot of filming and editing, and let me say that "windows editor" or what ever its called compared to iMovie is like comparing Bob the builder to Chuck Norris (or whatever terrible to great comparison) But let me say this is half an opinion, so it does fully counter this statement.4. "(Con) if you want to be calm and relaxed and don't get worried about you finance get a pc not a Mac their expensive and aren't practical" Hold on let me just copy and paste my entire debate to this part, Could you possibly tell me why they aren't practical. ThanksGood luck in the next round
Mac is better than Pc (See First Round)

I accept. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Mac is expensive while you can get a Pc can be cheap. So if you want to be calm about your financial status GET a pc (which makes you calmer) if you have allot of money and want to "think" that your "calm" because you wanna look cool. A pc is much more pratcal to use for work related things such as programing or just office work, whilst a mac is good for editing but a pc can do that just as well. if you want to be calm and relaxed and dont get worried about you finance get a pc not a Mac their expensive and arent pratical.
