Rio Olympics 2016 Should be Cancelled

"I made an equation (. .. ) The rough difference in percentage rise from 120 to 1080 days is 800%. "I don't want to waste anybody's time on this irrelevant topic so I will be brief:1. Pro called my source "severely outdated". I did not deny that and proved how one of his sources was too, "outdated". 2. Pro argues that my source was more "outdated", making us uneven. Seriously?3. How outdated something is, does not depend on the actual 'date' (see Round 3) but in fact, how severely off the information is. For example, which is more outdated, the belief that 'the heart was the centre of all thought and emotion' (4th century B. C. ) or the belief that 'sea monsters exist' (16th century)? They are both equally false and therefore equally outdated. _____Health"I didn't misunderstand your point. Zika is a virus just like influenza"One sentence: There are a lot of different types of viruses with their individual properties [1][2][3][4]. (*Note*: sources 1-3 describe a few different types of viruses, while source 4 states this exact fact. )" "The rapid spread of the Zika virus has prompted Latin American governments to urge women not to get pregnant for up to two years. " (. .. ) governments recognize the lasting effects of Zika inside the body even when the other symptoms aren't present. "Actually, you misunderstand your own source. The government are urging women not to get pregnant for two years not because they are afraid that the Zika Virus would still be 'dormant' in their body . They are really in fact, only worried because the current Zika breakout means that there could be high chances of having the mild virus without even knowing it. Therefore, women who want children may not know if they have Zika and as a result could cause microcephaly. However, it will definitely phase out after two years as it is decreasing dramatically already [5] (same as Round 2). "I have not conceded my argument on (. .. ) methods of repelling mosquitoes"Most of my suggestions of preventing Zika are well-supported. You tried to refute them with your own opinions which I have already responded to. Besides, even if there was a slight subjectivity, it is our duty as debaters to convince the other. CrimeObviously all the people from your source labelled 5 will report about the dangers of Rio. If they didn't experience crime, why would they be on the website in the first place? That's like wanting to know how much time teenagers spend getting ready for school and asking an all-girls' school only. Both are pretty biased and display propaganda. Actually, since we're on this topic, here is a comment from your source labelled 5:"Just came back from Rio (. .. ) I'm just going to say, common sense ! ! (. .. ) Rio is (. .. ) one of the best cities I've visited (. .. ) regarding crime, you have favelas and you have dodgy places but surely you will find out where not to go before the trip. The place is no different then other MEGA Cities like Paris, London or NY if you shouldn't be going to particular neighbourhood, don't go. Using public transport is very safe both metro and Buses (if you show the drive were you're going he will let you know when to leave the bus. I will defo be going back to Rio and if you're thinking about safety in this place, don't. .you will be perfectly fine"CultureCulture is not a subjective issue, it is common sense and absolutely vital. To reiterate (again), countries that have held the Olympics have had an immense increase of tourism in the years after (sources [5] and [6] in Round 1). Why do tourists visit a country? To learn about their culture (food, buildings, history etc. )Economics"You keep refusing to see my argument that finishing the stadiums will result in (. .. ) the loss of profit for Brazil"You have not specifically proved that Brazil would benefit financially from cancelling the Olympics in comparison to not cancelling it. Even if they are better off cancelling it, they will not have the crucial increased tourism in the long-run. "regarding on how easy it is to fix the problem, is not the reason why I started the debate" I said "feasible" not "easy". The resolution is 'Rio Olympics 2016 Should be Cancelled'. As the proposition, you need to prove why it would be good to cancel the event now despite the fact that there is literally only about a month left. "I never (. .. ) mentioned it to be feasible to cancel the Olympics at this time. "I don't understand what you are trying to say. Is it feasible or not because that would determine whether you are negating the motion. ____In conclusion, Rio 2016 SHOULD NOT BE CANCELLED as it will have many benefits for Brazil economically and from all my points, rebuttals and sources throughout this debate, I don't see a reason why people should 'fear' going. Thank you for reading. Vote Con! I'd like to especially thank Amedexyius for this interesting and engaging debate! Win or lose, I think we have both benefited. I for one, now know the term "de facto"! (Sources in comments also)
