The House Regrets The Rise Of A 'Hookup Culture'

It seems Pro has changed the rules or initially misrepresented the rules he provided. Accordingly, I will only reply to some of his comments. But usually closing statements means no new evidence and a final summary. "Is it not true that we should obtain healthy relationships throughout our lifetime? Do the relationships we form when we are young not important? The bond between father and son, mother and daughter, between two best friends? .. .. .Healthy relationships help to sustain us, for that is what we require as complex beings with a conscious. "This is merely opinion. Pro has not provided any evidence showing that healthy relationships are required for sustainment of human life. Pro has not provided any medical evidence to back this claim up. " I'm sure the principal would not attempt to argue that 'relationships are completely unimportant' as the opposition has done so tonight. "I uttered nothing of the kind. Voters can re-read if necessary my Round 3 argument. "Students ARE NOT looking to find long-term lovers'. They are desiring physical pleasure only. They are not simply searching more people to find the perfect couple, they are disregarding the option of relationships, and desiring pure physical pleasure. "Again, where has Pro provided evidence that they are no longer looking for long term lovers. "Physical pleasure is not wrong. But we need healthy relationships to accompany this pleasure. "Pro has only provided more opinion. Where is there any evidence to make the claim to say that physical pleasure requires healthy relationships? "This is misleading. Women are still vilified in society today. They may not be more vilified surrounding the area of divorce, but regarding promiscuity they are being vilified equally as much even more so. As i stated, women are not dreaming of promiscuity anymore, they are being promiscuous, which leads to vilification. "No, they are not being vilified. My opponent has yielded to provide any evidence to show how women are being vilified more. If they are engaging more in an activity wouldn't that mean they are being vilified less? Women and their sexual promiscuity are not being vilified as my opponent is imagining but they are being celebrated according to most Americans[1]. The evidence shows women are not being vilified for sexual promiscuity. Only Americans are coming to celebrate sexual promiscuity not less. [1]. http://www.rasmussenreports.com... "So a date does not mean anything? Is it not a chance to meet a person? have a genuine conversation? found out their personality? test your compability? it is all these things. "How a person behaves in public life is entirely different from how they behave in private life in the comforts of their own home. Therefore what you may see may not be what you will get,"My claim was not inherently false, and divorce rates nowadays can be contributed to a combinations of reasons, including the fact that people are making irrational decisions and going into so called 'relationships' with a person who they have experienced sex with, and have not gone on a date. "This is nothing but opinion. Pro has not shown any evidence for this statement. Or how he is an authority or expert on irrationality. So how can he make such a claim? "I have never stated that we should"No one said you did. "I said that ghe opposition cannot use the fact that the culture encourages 'exercise' to defend the argument. We obtain exercise in many ways, and going for a fews run has many less negative implications. I did not say sex wasn't exercise. "Once again Pro tries to avoid answering the argument but instead sidetracks my claim that sexual activity is a form of exercise by saying there are other forms of exercise. "I have committed no such fallacy. The opposition stated in their opening arguments 'that the hookup culture is chosen by those that chose to engage in it' and used this as core material. This by no way means that the hook-up culture is not regrettable. Do we not have systems in place to try and stop a person from murdering another person? yes, we do. But at the end of the day that person possesses free will and can chose to do what they please. Just as one person can chose to have as much sex as they like (through influences of hook-up culture'). Does this mean we should sit by and say "they chose to do it, they can suffer", as an excuse for this poor behaviour? no we cannot. it is by no means an argument of any stature whatsoever. "Yes, Pro has committed a fallacy. The fallacy is called the "Faulty Analogy" fallacy[2]. Murder and sexual activity are not even remotely the same to be compared in the manner which you ompared the two. To the rest of what Pro said I will insert what I said from Round 3 : "Participants in the hook-up culture are not destroying their lives either. That is merely Pro's opinion. " [2]. http://www.fallacyfiles.org... "A hook-up culture is physically dangerous, as casual sexual encounters encourage careless sexual behaviour amongst students, a key argument to this debate which the opposition has completely disregarded. "No, I replied in Round 2 to this argument. See Point #10, "The hook-up culture is voluntary. There will be regrets and undesirable aftereffects in the culture. The people who engage in the hook-up culture assume this responsibility. " My opponent has just made it more clear he is interested in forcing his personal values onto other people more and more. This entire debate outside of the second round my opponent has offered nothing but reckless conjecture based on his own opinion. Pro has used appeal to emotion various times throughout the debate using from phrases like "healthy," "suffering," and "sustaining. " For example he used the word "healthy" over ten times without any evidence provided that the activity he was referring to was healthy. Pro also compared sex to murder which is also a appeal to emotion and the faulty analogy fallacy which I provided in a paragraph above. The following reasons are why you should vote Con:1. The hook-up culture maximizes pleasure for the participants. -My opponent has not refuted this nor has he even addressed it.2. The hook-up culture encourages people to find the best lover available. -People will have more options available then what Pro is advocating. 3. Women are not demonized in the hook-up culture. -My opponent did not address this at all except with his opinion. I offered several facts to back this claim up.4. The hook-up culture discourages sexism.5. The hook-up culture is better than the previous sexual culture. Therefore it is not regrettable. -See Round 26. The hook-up culture does not require emotional bonding. -The emotional bonding can have horrific effects when a relationship ends. One could be much worse after relationship then before they entered. See Round 2 & 3 as well. My opponent ignored my Round 3 argument entirely.7. There is no such thing as "right" or "wrong. " That is a matter of opinion exclusively. -The hook-up culture can not be "right" or "wrong" because such entities do not exist.8. The hook-up culture encourages people to find different lovers.9. The hook-up culture encourages sex. Therefore the hook-up culture encourages more exercise10. The hook-up culture is chosen by those that chose to engage in it. -This was a reply to Pro's Round 2 claims about STDs. Those who partake in the culture assume the responsibility. This is a personal decision by the participants not a decision between them and the community at large. 11. Pro has compared sexual activity to murder. -"Finally the opposition stated that the hookup culture is chosen by those that chose to engage in it, and therefore, its ok!
