Summer is better than Winter

While it is true that not all mosquitoes are taken care of by the spray, it does get rid of most of them, which was the purpose of making that statement. Also, I do agree that it is plausible for mosquitoes to evolve to a point that they can withstand out current strongest sprays, but as I stated above, there are many people working on improving it. Also, you used butterflies as an example to bugs, but I honestly don't see how butterflies would fall into the same category as mosquitoes. They do not cause problematic, irritating bites, and many people consider them to be "Beautiful", which may be considered a good thing. You stated that these beautiful creatures have usually died off by winter, which would make winter lack the beauty of the butterflies. Another thing that could go along with the butterflies are flowers, flowers can be symbolic of friendship, of happiness, of warmth, and of love! In the summer, nearly everywhere you go you will see at least a few flowers, but in the winter they do not grow, and you are once again, deprived of the beauty they bring. About your sleep rebuttal, I'm sorry, but we are not debate whether summer is HEALTHIER than winter, but that it is BETTER. Most people enjoy sleeping in every once in a while, so the point that you don't oversleep in the winter, doesn't really help your case. Of course "Many people would much rather warm up with hot chocolate or cider rather than eating a cold Popsicle" as you stated, because Popsicle are not meant to warm you up! Many people would rather cool down by eating a Popsicle than by drinking hot chocolate or cider! That point was either irrelevant, or poorly stated. Again, I must oppose you on the statement that "Hot Chocolate, Marshmallows, and Fire really do say it all", because Hot chocolate, Marshmallows, and Fire, are a total of four words. Their are BILLIONS of words in our language, and most of them have nothing to do with any of those four words, so they cannot possible "say it all". Also, I am glad you pointed out my Popsicle statement. You CAN eat it whenever, just as you CAN eat/drink hot coco and marshmallows whenever, which brings us back to the fact that it was an invalid point! So let's make a compromise, I won't bring up any more Popsicle, since it was invalid, if you admit that the hot chocolate and marshmallows were invalid. Also, going along those same lines, Winter sports can be done in the summer, you just have to travel to somewhere that has snow, such as Alaska. Concerning what you said about my first contention, more time is a good thing, in the winter, when you are in school, you have too much to do and not enough time to do it! You have homework, friends, often extracurricular activities, and when you don't have enough time to do everything you need to do, you get stressed. If you continue to be persistent about the whole health thing, then I could gladly point you that stress is not healthy. Also, if you get to overwhelmed, and find yourself running out of time, then you may need to stay up later to accomplish the things that you need to do, which would cause you to be sluggish and tired the next morning. The second point, it is possible that some schools let you out for a three week Christmas break, but where I live, most schools only let you out for about a week and a half, maybe two at most. Also, during the Christmas break, people don't often do as many recreational things that they can do in the summer, because they are doing religious things to prepare for the holiday, or they are shopping, and also celebrating. The point you made about the indoor and outdoor sports are false, because, while it is true that you can play SOME summer sports indoors, you cannot play all of them. Such as football, and baseball. but as I said, you can travel during the summer (since you have enough time that you can!), and play winter sports during the summer. Also, I don't understand how their is more "Variety" to the winter activities, could you please expand on that? Yes, I did mean Winter when I said fall, I apologize for my error. Also, the sun is not bad unless you get too much of it! And when I stated that you could spend more time outdoors, that didn't mean that you have to spend all your time in the sun. You could be in the shade, where it is still warm, but more pleasing because you are surround by nature. Your questions: 1)I do agree that tanning is a bad thing, but it is irrelevant to the case, because like many points you have brought up, you can still tan in the winter, using a tanning bed. 2)I've already answered that many times in my above statements. 3)I have never heard of this, and I'm a runner! Yes it is nicer to run in cool weather, such as early morning, or early evening, but not in cold weather! In cold weather your joint cramp up which causes pain, and is not at all fun! Also, very few of my cross country comrades run in the winter, due to the cold, but they run all summer to prepare.
