Every human is equal

PRO's definitions are: Human: Human being Equality: Being equal Despite the enormous amount of clarification that these definitions give to the topic, it still seems rather vague. Because of a lack of further clarification, I'll assume that PRO plans on defending against all persons and any form of inequality. As such, I'll address multiple aspects of equality in this debate. ======================== =1: People are not monetarily equal= ======================== "The method the Imperial State Institute for Nutrition at Tokyo developed for measuring the amount of a person's skin is to take a naked person, and to apply a strong, thin paper to every surface of his body. After the paper dries, they carefully remove it, cut it into small pieces, and painstakingly total the person's measurements. Cut and dried, the average person is the proud owner of fourteen to eighteen square feet of skin, with the variables in this figure being height, weight, and breast size. Basing the skin's value on the selling price of cowhide, which is approximately $.25 per square foot, the value of an average person's skin is about $3.50."[1] Because not everybody has the exact same amount of skin, not everybody is equal. There is a direct correlation between the total surface area of your body and your monetary value. People with more portly proportions can proudly proclaim their superiority over those of a more diminutive stature. For example, yo' mama is worth a far larger amount than most. ================== =2: All races are not equal= ================== Esquimaux, while technically human[2], could hardly be considered 'equal' to Europeans, Africans, or any other race. 1. They are as much animal as they are human. They are the only known tribe to eat raw meat, the Esquimaux mother shows animal-like affection towards her young, they have unkempt hair and beards, and "there is something terrifying in their face, that shews the animals, or is very brutish."[3] 2. They have only a loose system of moral code. Esquimaux women are coerced into marriage, polygamy is common, and little care is given to the virginity of adolescents.[3] They are also, false, treacherous, and untrustworthy.[4] 3. Esquimaux were barbarous villains. European explorers were advised that they were better drowned than shipwrecked on Esquimaux coasts, and with good reason. They were violent savages who would cut an entire boat to pieces to salvage a few iron nails.[4] Even other Indians hated them: "This inhuman proceeding of the Esquimaux against all strangers is the reason why none of the Indians of North America ever give quarter to the Esquimaux if they meet them, but kill them on the spot, though they frequently pardon their other enemies, and incorporate the prisoners with their nation"[4] Thus, discrimination between race is not only permissible, but necessary to establish Esquimaux as a race inferior in all ways to all other beings unlucky enough to share a genus and species with them. ============================== =3: All humans are not given the same rights= ============================== A. Dead people are not given the same rights as other people i. The deceased are not allowed to vote. ii. Corpses with salaries below the poverty line[5] are not provided with social services. iii. The dead can not own property. In fact, people often give their possessions away to their relatives without their consent. iv. Discrimination based on life is legal. People can refuse to hire you simply because you're not currently living. B. Children are not given the same rights as other people i. Children are not allowed to vote.[6] ii. Children cannot drink alcohol.[7] iii. Parents are allowed to control and coerce their children. C. My slave is not given the same rights as other people i. I do not let him vote. ii. I do not let him bear arms. iii. When angry, I often inflict cruel and unusual punishment on him. iv. I do not allow him to own property. ========================== =4: Not all persons are of equal weight= ========================== Paul Mason[8] weighs about 44 times as much as Thapa Magar[9]. Clearly, not all persons are equal in terms of size. ========= =5: Sources= ========= [1] http://www.coolquiz.com... [2] http://www.google.com...= [3] http://www.jstor.org...
