Advertisements do more harm than good

First to address my opponent. "your first point is irrelevant were are debating if ads to more harm then good, your point explains why we advitisments are needed." That response makes utterly no sense. By providing you with an answer as to why advertisements are needed, and then having you agree with me, then we have proved that advertisements are more good than bad. My first point in it's entirety explains why ads are good and what we need them for. How does that have nothing to do with the debate? Did you read the entire argument? "I agree ads do contribute to the economy, in order for business to succeed in society's attention they need ads. but, nowadays business are brainwashing us with millions of ads." So you agree that ads a beneficial? If you're agreeing that they contribute to society, then whether they are 'brainwashing' doesn't matter, because you are in fact agreeing that they cause more good than harm. Also how exactly are advertisements brainwashing? People have the freedom of choice. People have the freedom to get up and change the channel on their tv's or radios if they don't want to hear advertisements. You could call it brainwashing, if we physically forced people into a room with a tv and restrained them while they watched each and every advertisement. Until we do that, advertisements are in no way 'brainwashing'. "People cannot just choose to ignore advertising, because advertisers use many underhand methods to get their message across." People don't have the choice to ignore advertising? Really? That's odd... Because I do it all the time. "Some adverts today are even being hidden in what seem like pieces or art or public information so people don't realise they are being marketed to." Now how exactly is that bad? If people are being advertised to and don't feel like there being harassed, your just proving to us that a lot of advertising can be a good thing! "By targeting people's unconscious thoughts adverts are a form of brainwashing that take away people's freedoms to make choices." I would say that is quite the contrary. By not allowing advertisements we would be taking away businesses rights and freedoms of speech. These consumers are making conscious decisions to call and make purchases from these advertisement. No on is 'forced' to do anything. "you last point is confusing in round three could you explain your point please and its relation to the debate topic? thank you" How is it confusing? Basically what I was saying is that without advertising many of the free entertainment world that most of us enjoy daily, would no longer be free. People pay radio stations and Internet sites to advertise their products, which is in fact how we are able to obtain these services for free. Music, tv, Internet sites, etc. All of it is made free because of advertisement. You should vote for me in this debate for the following reasons: 1. My opponent skips over my first and second point and leaves them un argued, merely because he 'didn't understand them' and failed to put the time and effort into at least even making an effort to respond to them. 2. My opponent agrees with me several times in his response that advertising can be beneficial. 3. My opponent's grammar is very poor. 4. Conduct point should go to me as I addressed every point he has made, while he has only made an attempt at my second point. We need advertising in our society, because advertising essentially runs our entire world! Please drag across my arguments in my first and second point, for further support in making your decision, as they were left untouched. Thankyou!
