Greenpeace Is Evil

RebuttalInteresting, interesting indeed. Let me start by saying, Water is the bases for life. It gives us food, It gives us a source of drink. 1) My opponent has brought up DDT, a chemical used to kill things. Yes it is a good thing, but only to be used in moderation. Greenpeace released studies that found that in the Menhaden there was a measurable amount of DDT within it[1]. Now, the Menhaden is just one of those tiny bate fish that bigger fish eat, and though the food chain, if big fish eats little fish1 with .1 unit of ddt, and then he eats fish2, with .1 unit of ddt, big fish now has .2 ddt in him and so on. You can see how this is concerning given that this poison has worked its way into the food supply. That is why they disliked DDT so much, because it was poisoning the food chain.2) GMOs. So our opponent is basically arguing against organic food. The Pesticide Action Network found that children between 6 and 11 years old were exposed to the nerve-damaging pesticide chlorpyrifos at four times the level deemed acceptable by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency [2]. Not everything that goes into your food has been tested, and isn’t labeled. 70% of America’s meats are made out of cow leftover parts (meat that lines the bladder, intestines, other random cuts that are not sold by butchers), this is made for dog food, but instead it is treated with Ammonia, and put into our school lunches (at least here In California). Last I checked, Ammonia isn’t good for us. I could go on and on about how bad GMO’s are bad for us, And that is why green peace is against all this. Yeah its cheap to make, and you can put good stuff in it, but really, are you trying to poison the starving people!? Feed them good food, not cow bladder lining. [3]So my opponent hasn’t made any evidence that green peace has hurt people, they are just watching out for the worlds.1 http://www.greenpeace.org...2http://www.unhinderedliving.com...3 http://www.youtube.com...; (see video)Here is my argument-Lets take a looksie at the word “evil” this was the only word not defined in round 1, let me tell you how I see it. Killing or injuring for personal gain. Hitler was evil. Obama is not. Lucifer, the devil is evil. God is not. Okay, here is my side of the argument. There is a division of green peace, Sea shepherd, who though has cause caused great controversy, saved the life of a fisherman[1], would an evil group do that? The sea shepherd woks across the world, headed by their founder, Captain Paul Watson. IN their campaigns against wailing, Dolphin harvesting, and illegal tuna fishing, With the 10 (now higher then this news post suggests) ships they “sank” there was no intent to harm human life, and none was lost [2]. These warriors have fought to protect the world’s ocean , not kill all the people in them. Therefore, they are fighting for good not evil. Oh, and if you are a fan of the TV show on Discovery, don’t read the following statement- but the Sea shepherds have almost effectively shut down the Illegal Japanese whaling when the Nisshin Maru caught fire, and effectively was shut down. [3]From my research, I have found that no one had been killed by green peace in an effort to protect the environment. Green peace is not evil, because they are only protecting the environment by hindering Illegal activities. 1 http://www.seashepherd.org...2 http://www.telegraph.co.uk...3 http://de.seashepherd.org...
