Imabench's 500th debate: Attempted Suicide should be punishable by death

" he agrees that we should all commit suicide and even volunteers to be first in line."No, im just asking questions about how everyone would be committing suicide since your plan didnt clarify that...."Pro clearly understands that life is shallow pool of fetid suffering, probably because society refuses to accept his revolting sexual perversions."Hey, What I like to put into my Easy Bake Oven is between Me, the Oven, and the bottle of Vaseline I use right before I use the Oven!“Hookers… blow…and…finger…my [omitted].”While I admire your ability to misquote me on everything I say, you'll have to do WAY better then that to become an anchor on Fox News ;D"Pro also discusses how the world appears confusing and terrifying due to his severely limited mental capacities"Whoa hey, just because Im liberal it doesnt mean I have severely limited mental capacities.... The two are correlated yes, but its not a cause-effect relationship :P"Pro should be viewed as a case study for the world at large.

OH OH LET ME GUESS! Is it having everyone put aside their differences to come together and strive for improvement of the world?"......mass suicide."Well I was WAY off :P"Thus the Resolution actually tries to help people who should clearly be made to feel as worthless as possible"Hey we're talking about suicidal people here, not Justin Bieber fans....."execution gives the suicidal exactly what they want! Execution will act as an incentive to suicide since the government is essentially guaranteeing free suicide service."Well if you want to tax people to have the government kill them then go ahead and advocate for it, but thats kinda weird and unconstitutional to enforce... You cant tax people to pay for something they might not even need, thats like creating taxes to force people to buy healthcare, its just retar- oh sh** wait a minute.... o_0"12 jurors would have to sit and listen to a case about the life of s suicidal person"Which is loads better then them listening to their wives b*tch to them about stuff, amirite?======================================================================Let me cut to the chase. Con has spent more time advocating for his own plan that everyone should kill themselves rather then refute the rock solid logic behind MY plan.... And in the end my proposal is still better since it DOES carry out the final wish of the suicidal person, that killing people is the one thing the government IS GOOD AT, and that the suicidal people arent likely gonna stick around for much longer anyways....I rest my case!
Imabench's 500th debate: Attempted Suicide should be punishable by death

Pro’s Concession “Is this going to be… autoerotic asphyxiation type suicide[?] I will…sign up to be first.” -imabench Pro has conceded my entire case- he agrees that we should all commit suicide and even volunteers to be first in line. Pro clearly understands that life is shallow pool of fetid suffering, probably because society refuses to accept his revolting sexual perversions. Pro’s rebuttal offers a disturbing insight into the mind of deviant. “I f*ck… beer bottles chucked at me from a passing car [it’s] what I consider a normal tuesday night.” -imabench “Hookers… blow…and…finger…my [omitted].” -imabench Pro also discusses how the world appears confusing and terrifying due to his severely limited mental capacities, admitting that even simple tasks tax his abilities. “I…count…awful…” -imabench Pro should be viewed as a case study for the world at large. The fact that a person as deranged as Pro could even exist is evidence of the hopeless and indifferent state of the world. The only rational response in the face of such horror is mass suicide. Pro’s Case Setting aside the obvious conclusion that we should all kill ourselves, Pro’s opening case is incoherent. I maintain that we ought to support the status quo, in which mental health disorders are stigmatized and attempted suicide is viewed as a moral failing. We ought to continue our chronic neglect of social mental health and treat attempted suicide as taboo topic. First, Pro admits that executing these people is “doing them a favor.” Thus the Resolution actually tries to help people who should clearly be made to feel as worthless as possible. The status quo does much more to punish survivors of suicide. Second, Pro claims execution will deter suicide attempts. But he has already admitted that execution gives the suicidal exactly what they want! Execution will act as an incentive to suicide since the government is essentially guaranteeing free suicide service. Finally, Pro mentions that no one likes to hang out with depressing people. But consider how much more depressing Pro’s proposal would be. Pro want to put depressives on trial in a court room to sentence them to death. We would have prosecuters building cases to prove that the defendant is really really depressed and tried to kill themselves. 12 jurors would have to sit and listen to a case about the life of s suicidal person. This is way more depressing than the status quo- where suicidal people are treated like fragile freaks to be largely forgotten about and ignored. If You Aren’t Convinced You Should Kill Yourself, Go Read Twilight …this book is so beautiful it will break your heart. The perfect love between Bella and Edward only illuminates the crushing loneliness in your own life. As the young couple’s love unfolds, you will see how the possibility of true love in your own life is precluded by your own mortality. For example, when Edward and Bella first consummate their marriage, Edward is simply too powerful for Bella’s fragile body
0=nothing=information

What the heck! I accept the challenge! Thanks Pro. Resolution: - Definitions: > Nothing: not a thing [1]. > Information: (1) knowledge obtained from investigation, study, or instruction (2) intelligence, news (3) facts, data [2]. > “=“ : equality symbol indicating identity. - BOP: the burden of proof in on Pro to prove that indeed: 0=nothing=information. Case: - A knockdown argument could be formulated against Pro’s resolution as: information is knowledge or intelligence or news or facts or data, thus information is a thing, thus not not a thing, thus not nothing, i.e. information =/= nothing. & therefore, Pro’s resolution is false. Rebuttals: belief=be lie, as i dont know is true > Belief: noun, conviction of the truth of some statement or the reality of some being or phenomenon especially when based on examination of evidence [3]. > Lie: noun, an untrue or inaccurate statement that may or may not be believed true by the speaker [4]. > Be lie: verb. - Another knockdown argument could be made against Pro here, in that: 1. noun =/= verb. 2. Even if we drop the “be” & we reduce Pro’s assertion to belief=lie, we will still find ourselves with a clear contradiction. Lie is untrue wether believed to be true or not, belief is more true than not. For instance, I believe the Earth is round, & the Earth is in fact round, thus my belief is not a lie. Thus, belief =/= lie. => Therefore, in all cases, Pro’s assertion is false. beyond what i know is what i dont know, and know is matter now, 0 and 1 know is matter, matter is now, i know my experience of now dangerOus=to rely on=religion 0=nothing=information 1=something=matter(true) matter is the opposite of information - We can easily apply the same method used previously & conclude that all Pro’s assertions are false. 1+0=1 is a false equation, it cant equate, so its just 1, so the explanation is just 1+0(1), because it cant happen - The equation: 1 + 0 = 1 is, by definition, a correct equation. Because, in mathematic set theory, the neutral element of the addition operation “+” is defined as: (*) e is the neutral element of S <=> for all x of S, x + e = x & e + x = x. - 0 is the neutral element of the operation “+” [5]. Thus, by definition, for all x, x + 0 = x . Particularly, 1 + 0 = 1. Conclusion: - I have presented a series of knockdown arguments (I like to say it as many times as possible) against Pro’s resolution, which he fails to support, & also against all his assertions. Thus, voters are completely justified to vote Con. Sources: [1] http://www.merriam-webster.com... [2] http://www.merriam-webster.com... [3] http://www.merriam-webster.com...

belief=be lie, as i dont know is true beyond what i know is what i dont know, and know is matter now, 0 and 1 know is matter, matter is now, i know my experience of now dangerOus=to rely on=religion 0=nothing=information 1=something=matter(true) matter is the opposite of information 1+0=1 is a false equation, it cant equate, so its just 1, so the explanation is just 1+0(1), because it cant happen
0=nothing=information

so you believe that reality is memory. . while i accept beliefs as right for others then me again, you cant have accept a lie without having a belief, therfore belief is belie, as you can not be a lie without having a belief. . now=true, where did the n o and w go? know=physical experience you can not add 0 to 1, that would be creation. . 1 is 1 - No new arguments here, nor counter-arguments! - As I have established in my 1st Round, Pro’s resolution runs into the law of non-contradiction, which makes it necessarily & objectively a false statement.
0=nothing=information

- As it’s hard to correlate Pro’s odd statements to his even more odd resolution, I am gonna restrict my arguments to only refuting his statements in Round 2, which should be sufficient to disprove his unsupported case entirely, if such a process is even required. Although it should be noted that the BOP is on Pro, which he has yet to fulfil, starting by refuting my knockdown arguments first! knowledge is memory, not real - Knowledge =/= Memory. [*] - Not real =/= Nothing. [*] => Therefore, the above statement is both false & non-supportive. you cant accept a lie without having a belief - Not necessarily! Plus, the opposite is false: having a belief doesn’t imply it’s based on a lie! kNow=Now - Where did the ‘k’ go? ! This is either a fatal linguistic error or a lame pun, either way, it can’t count as any sort of argument. only know is true, - Who is or what is ‘know’? This is an utterly ambiguous bare assertion irrelevant to the resolution. to me a star is a light in the night sky, and nothing beyond that, and the earth beneath me has no necessary shape - This is clearly a subjective personal opinion irrelevant to the resolution. you can not add 0 to 1. that would be creation - These two sentences are uncorrelated, as addition & creation are two fundamentally different concepts. [*] Google Definitions.
There are no racist people, only racist actions.

Looking into how often the word racist (n) is used wrongly I can see the root of your argument. For example, if someone believed that black people are much more aggressive, it wouldn't make that person automatically racist. He would only be holding either a factual or prejudiced ideology, he simply isn't racist. Say another person didn't want to get in a relationship with an Asian man, because their penises are proved to be generally smaller. This person isn't racist either. A matter of preference. On the other hand, consider someone who finds another race inferior and condemns the race outright. This individual is by definition racist(a) and thus a racist(n). So if racists exist as seen, why shouldn't a noun which define them. Point 1) what you stated is agreeable and such a case would be actually misuse of the word. Do me a favor and provide an example of contribution to racism without being a racist. Point 2) Actually, It is possible to analyze human behavior though not perfectly well. We can understand human character by observation. You could tell if someone was a racist by observation. And Labeling an autistic kid autistic doesn't help the kid either. But we still need to keep reality in check rather than ignoring it. Point 3) not calling a racist a racist wouldn't help anti-racism either. Ignoring serial killers wouldn't stop murders from happening.
There are no racist people, only racist actions.

I argue that the use of the term 'racist' as a noun, is not useful to an understanding of racism that operates on a systemic level and not on the level of personal bigotry. When we say that someone IS A racist (noun) we are ascribing some property of 'racism' to their interior psyche, effectively we are saying that they have some kind of 'racist essence'. If someone IS racist it means that irrespective what they may say or do, they possess some kind of underlying racist worldview. And, while this may be true, this is inappropriate for a number of reasons: 1) I argue it is possible for a person to contribute to racism, ie. to do racist things, without necessarily sharing a fundamental racist worldview on a psychological level. 2) I don't think it is helpful or even possible to analyse someones psyche in order to diagnose racism 3) The understanding of racism that operates solely on the level of psychology is actively detrimental to the project of fighting racial inequality Instead I propose that racism ought only to be an adjective. I propose an understanding of racism as 'performative' along the lines of Judith Butler's concept of gender performativity. That is to say, racism is a certain mode in which people perform certain actions and speech acts that produce racist (adj.) outcomes. I think this understanding of racism is more pragmatically useful for confronting racism in everyday life. The accusation of acting 'racist (adj.)' as opposed to being 'racist (noun)' places the emphasis on the persons actions rather than the persons essence. The is useful because people tend to reflexively reject anything that contradicts their own fundamental sense of self, but a comparatively open to reflection on their own behaviour.
There are no racist people, only racist actions.

In your first paragraph you have mischaracterised my argument: Both the examples you give I would consider racist. My point is a more nuanced one - ie. the belief that "black people are much more aggressive" is not racist because it is evidence of a kind of 'racist essence' on behalf of the person who holds it, but rather it is racist because it justifies actions that perpetuate racial inequality. 1) your (pretty offensive and un-cited) example about Asian mens' penis sizes is actually a great example of how one can perpetuate racism without necessarily having an 'essential' racist worldview. Yes, being convinced about the smaller relative penis size of Asian men is not inherently racist in and of itself - but what are you doing with this information? Say a person does not believe that Asian people are inferior to white people but says they are only into big d***s - say they also systematically swipe left on any vaguely Asian looking man on tinder without any consideration because they are convinced they have a much lower chance of having a big d***. The person has gone from holding a belief to performing an action that has affects in the world - they have participated in the desexualisation and devaluing of Asian men. This is admittedly a very small micro aggression but in aggregate, across an entire society, this does have a real effect on peoples lives. (this all I am going to say on the topic, please do not derail the debate to make it about penis size) 2) I do not think it is impossible to analyse someone's psychology, the thing that is impossible is diagnosing 'racism' from that analysis. To argue the opposite is to argue that there is some fact about the functioning of the brain that causes racism and I don't agree that there is. Even if it were possible to define racism as some kind of psychological state or condition would it then follow that racism should be treated like a kind of mental illness? I don't think the theory plays out. 3) Yes I will happily concede that some people are racists (noun) - obviously active klansmen are racists (noun) but I don't think fighting racial inequality can be boiled down to: 'we need get rid of all the racists'. Your serial killers point, again, provides a really good example of how this distinction would actually help prevent murders. Perhaps the best way to stop serial killers is not to understand the problem as being a set of isolated serial killers (noun) but as a series of social influences and conditions that give rise to 'serial killing'.
Facebook is a waste of time

Pro has dropped my arguments on: Autism, Networking, Political Organizing, and Games.I remind the voters that Pro has the burden of proof and that to win this debate all I need is one non-refuted argument showing how Facebook is, even if in only one instance not a waste of time.Rebuttals1. While it is generally better for social skills to socialize in person or even through through vocal medium for some people the best way for them to get social skills is through Facebook.Autistic people often demonstrate great writing ability, even non-verbal ones. For non-verbal sufferers of autism facebook may be their only means of having any form of a social life.Even a person who is merely shy may at their point in life find it easier to socialize on Facebook rather than face-to-face, and until they are comfortable with face-to-face socialization Facebook is better than nothing.Furthermore, it is not always possible to socialize in real life or with the people you want to socialize with. A person might be far away from their friends for what ever reason, and Facebook is a way for them to connect with them anyways.2.Just because people are experiencing things vicariously and those things may or may not have actually happened doesn't mean it is a bad thing. People experience things that didn't really happen vicariously all the time through books, movies, and plays. Those are not a waste of time and neither is Facebook. Real or not people don't care. They have the same experience of it regardless.3.Although it is impossible to keep up with that many people simply having a connection on Facebook can be a good starting ground for networking and other opportunities. Furthermore, you can choose who among Facebook friends to pay the most attention to and develop real life relationships. It allows you to learn a lot about people from a distance before hanging out with them in real life, so you can choose better friends.
Facebook is a waste of time

Well you definetly made some good points but even though you can socialize on facebook it is also possible socialize outside with friends and family, and it is also better for social skills, because if you are on the phone or on skype or in person you are actually talking and reacting to the person you are having a conversation with, weather on facebook is only through texting.Also, a lot of people who follow other people's walls and feed think that they are experiencing what the other people is doing, but this is of course wrong because it's easy for anybody to just write something that might not be true. it would be better to interact with friends in real life than on facebook and also it is impossible to really keep up with more than 50 or 100 friends at a time.
Facebook is a waste of time

DefinitionsWaste-to consume, spend, or employ uselessly or without adequate return; use to no avail or profit; squanderSince Pro claims "Facebook is a waste of time" without stipulations all I have to do to disprove Pro is to show even one instance where Facebook is not a waste of time. And there are several.Uses of FacebookFacebook is a very useful program.SocializingFacebook provides a quick and easy avenue for people to socialize, negating the need to actually go places in order to do it. Furthermore it helps socializing go faster. In your profile you can specify a great deal of things about yourself. This allows for people to find other like-minded people and then decide later to socialize with them in real life. This makes for a closer group of friends with less tensions. Autism Facebook is also a good stepping stone for sufferers of autism to gain valuable social skills. People with autism who have difficulty socializing in real life often find it easier online. Their experiences interacting with people online can help them learn about interacting with people in real life. For some Facebook could be the catalyst that could make the difference between a lifetime of loneliness and institutionalization and a successful, independent, and happy life.NetworkingFacebook also provides a good means to expand one's contacts in the world of work. The profile can be used to display work history and instant communication with colleages can be established online.Political OrganizingAs groups can have profile pages, so can political groups. Facebook offers these groups a new tool in reaching out to people who may not have even been aware of their existance in previous times.GamesThis is probably the easiest in Facebook to criticize, but a little rest and relaxation never hurt anyone. The games on Facebook can help take the edge off a stressful day while strengthening the social bonds between people.
