Kanye West is a Good Influence on Kids

Also, none of my points (except for Kanye saying he is a god, that is about to be addressed) made in round 2 were answered by the pro side, thus they remain valid. You mentioned that most pre-teens and teens would let the fact that Kanye said he is a god slip by. If you say that Kanye has a good influence whatsoever, however, this 'good' influence will be followed and emulated if it is a good thing. Thus your refutation actually contradicts your argument since if calling yourself a god is a good influence, of course teens will heed to this good influence and perhaps, not always blatantly, at least think to themselves that they themselves are also gods, becoming rebellious if, say, parents tell them to do something they would not like to do. Next, your points following this were once again based on his own words, not verifiable actions: any man can lie about his heart. As for blind patriotism, I'm not quite sure how Kanye's pointing out that many Americans are looking up to big brands is something that shows he is a good influence, much less relevant to the point. Continuing, having a different way at looking things and being a visionary has nothing to do with being a good influence; Adolf Hitler was certainly a visionary: he looked at things very differently and we all know the tragic consequences of his different ideas (I am not saying Kanye is like Hitler, just proving being a visionary is irrelevant since it itself does not verify a good influence). Thus the point of seeing things differently certainly does not make him a good influence at all. In reference to Kanye West donating millions to charity, I certainly agree that that's a good thing. But evidently, weighing all that is spoken, this is no where near to making him a good influence because of the supernumerary things against him already discussed that should be repelling to any parent. Lastly, in reference to your final points, they were once again not shown to be true and merely stated. Thus, they are invalidated since you did not back them with evidence. To add a few more points, you also did mention that many know he is very egocentric and narcissistic. People magazine expatiates by giving multifarious instances that show his pejorative pride and anger when he did not get what he wanted. To give two examples: 1. At the MTV Europe Music Awards Ceremony, Kanye "lost best video to a French duo named Justice vs. Simian. Outraged, he crashed the stage and interrupted their acceptance speech with a profanity-laced rant: "If I don't win," he said, "the award show loses credibility. "," according to People. com. 2. In a red cross fund-raising drive for victims of Hurricane Katrina, Kanye West chose to lash out at the government by stating, "George Bush doesn't care about black people". Outlandish statements like these, certainly don't at all make him a good influence: actually, quite the antithesis. To sum it all up, all my points mentioned in round 2 and 3 still retain credence and there is only one valid reason, which is small in comparison to the numerous other aspects, that the pro side still has standing. However, even with donating much to charity, it was already shown how easily Kanye's attitude could mar the entire thing, like shown at the charity drive example shown above. Thus, he is not a good influence
