The United States Federal Government should legalize child porn Wylted vs Bluesteel and Mikal

State Vs Federal I'm continually learning more about crafting the type of resolution needed to get the debate I want. I intended to advocate for a general legalization of child porn. Bluesteel knows that's the debate I wanted. Despite him having this overwhelming advantage of taking a position that more than 99% of the general public agrees with him on he still feels the need to Weasel out of debating the resolution by taking a semi pro child porn stance as well as attempting to win on some sort of technicality. Bluesteel, you're already almost certain to win by merely just putting up a strong showing. Why don't you stop trying to Weasel out of debating and take a stance? I'd ask the voters to consider how confident my opponent feels in his own arguments if he's trying to avoid debating this. Seriously you're con on child porn and receiving help from the highest rated debater on the site. What other advantage do you need, in order to feel even with me? Besides that the state vs federal argument is silly anyway. If the state legalizes child porn it would still be illegal on a federal level. Not to mention it's the FBI that handles going after all these child porn cases. Without them barely anybody would be prosecuted for the crime. Focusing on the federal government legalizing child Porn actually strengthens my case, because states can at least have the freedom and flexibility to work out any kinks with the newly legalized porn that fits each jurisdiction uniquely. My opponent also points out that an ordinary person could click on child porn for the novelty or out of curiosity and be subject to prosecution when he really doesn't even deserve it. This is my case folks. It's fat pervs that are eating Cheetos watching this child porn out of curiosity. It's not child molesters and my stats including the meta study I presented in the previous round prove this. As far as trying to paint people who watch child porn as child molesters it's absurd. Anybody who has watched midget porn, or gang bang videos (which in our society is almost everyone), can tell you that watching porn does't equal going out and doing what you see on those videos. I urge every voter who has watched a midget or other fetish porn and not banged a midget to consider their experience in judging this debate. I do have hard numbers for a lot of things, but what my case does that my opponent's does not is appeal to common sense. We all have fantasies that we'll never ever engage in, but my opponent expects you to believe people with those fantasies are different. There's a reason why every other porno we watch has a girl with a shaved vagina, and pig tails. There is a reason why the school girl and baby sitter theme is so prominent in many of the porns we watch. The reason is because we all have these fantasies even if subconsciously. Your not a bad person for it and neither are the people who watch child porn. They're just engaging in the fantasy and would never really hurt a child. My stats and your experience confirm this to be true. Active Endorsement Actually the government does hand out drugs. That's what Methadone clinics are. My stats show that less children would be harmed with easier access to child porn. Honestly who cares if it appears the government is endorsing child porn. I think their priority should be keeping children safe and the FBI making their extensive database available for public viewing would due to extra access keep kids safer as numerous studies have shown, but besides that it deincentivizes the production of child porn for profit. Any child pornography producers would go out of business, when the world's largest database of child porn is just a click away. Not to mention how many cold cases would get solved by people just happening to see somebody they recognize in one of the videos. If the FBI releases their database of child porn it will literally get offending pedophiles off the street and keep our kids safer. I think it's way better to make kids safer than to worry about the FBI receiving a little negative publicity. Decriminalize This is just sad. Bluesteel/Mikal are literally arguing the most popular position available to argue in any debate and instead of just debating against the position I propose they offer a plan that is almost identical. It would be like if I accepted a debate where somebody was pro gay marriage and I offered a counter plan that not only legalized gay marriage but also gave every gay man in America $20.00. Guy's, you're con child porn. The easiest position to take ever in a debate and despite that you're still trying to take the pro position. Why didn't you guys just instigate a pro child porn debate? Their plan is inferior anyway, because not everybody who views child porn is a pedophile. In fact it's the vast minority of people who view it that are. Also decriminalizing it does nothing to stop unfair government censorship and these treatment programs will be hella expensive while my plan actually saves the tax payers money. These attempts to escape debating, especially when considering how popular their position is as well as their skill level are such gross conduct violations that I urge the voters to award me the win strictly for conduct reasons. These ways to weasel out of actually debating this topic especially since it's 2 on 1 plus they are con child porn and could almost literally forfeit every round and still win (based on protest votes of my rape battle), are just odd and disturbing. Resolution Analysis I made my position very clear in round 1. In the comments I asked my opponents to review what I wrote before accepting to make sure we were both arguing a fair position. I knew the way I was using the term full legalization was a bit unusual, so I further elaborated on what I said in round 1. If my opponents didn't like it I was more than willing to compromise with them on the resolution. However they happily accepted the debate. Mikal/Bluesteel some of the debaters who do policy debates and are used to some of the silliness in formal debates at the academic level might respond well to you guys trying to weasel out of debating this by being shifty, but I think most voters are going to see this nonsense as several Hail Marie's put in place because your arguments were defeated. If you guys feel like your arguments are too weak to win, just concede. Don't attempt to weasel out of debating this by interpreting the resolution in a dishonest way or switching so you're oddly pro child porn as well but in a different way. Production of Child porn All these objections my opponent raises here are offset by the FBI releasing their ever expanding database. No producer of child porn can compete with the largest database of child porn on the planet. Justice My study wasn't debunked a direct correlation was shown between access to child porn and a reduction of children getting raped. Most countries in the study had strong child pornography laws but the countries who loosened their laws showed a sharp decline in child rape cases immediately following the legalization of child porn. The ban on sexually explicit materials was lifted in Japan and Denmark in 1989 and a sharp decrease in sex crimes took place. This is beyond coincidence that immediately following the ban their was a Sharp decrease in rape cases. Every single study on pornography and sex crimes shows this exact same correlation. It's beyond coincidence. Freedom Contrary to my opponents beliefs the Supreme Court ruling on freedom of speech isn't final. The constitution of the United States is final regardless of whether activist judges intentionally misinterpret it to pursue their own agenda The pornography laws are very wishy washy and can quite honestly be interpreted however people feel like interpreting it. They are way to subjective and the proposals I make are the only ones that throw subjectivity completely out the window. Pornography laws have been and will continue to be used to suppress freedom of speech. Wasted Resources The FBI keeps it's budget secret or atleast hard to find. I don't know how much the spend on utilities or coffee machines or anything for that matter. The miners don't need quantifying if you can reasonably determine that the FBI spends a ton of money chasing people who view child porn. Common sense tells us that with the biggest database of child porn on the planet and being really the only government organization that makes it there business to go after random dudes who get curious about the wrong thing, they spend millions probably tens of millions hunting down people who view child porn. The makers of child pornography (aka the real bad guys) really are rarely prosecuted or discovered. This money could be better spent preventing the next major terrorist attack. Conclusion My opponent's are saving the full counter rebuttals to the stats next round, which is where I'll also address those things.
