World war 3

"I feel the 2 world wars effectively cleansed the world" For one thing, this is an opinion. "The World War 1 also known as the Great War started in 1914 and ended in 1918. According to some sources, it is estimated that 37 million people were killed during the war including military and civilians." [1] "It is estimated that about 55 million people died in the European theater during World War II. Globally a total of over 60 million people died in WWII and of those 60 million, more were civilian than soldiers." [2] According to both quotes, about 97 million people died during World Wars I and II. Most of them were civilians, and how would another world war effectively clean the world of innocent people? If Pro fully believes that ending innocent people's lives would effectively clean the world, then we have bigger problems. "they all been fuelled by war and change - not religion and peace" My opponent believes that the best way to advance is by war, so by this I am inferring that my opponent believes war is better than piece. Advance, by definition provided by the Merriam-Webster dictionary, is the act of moving forward [3]. By moving forward, humanity has created associations such as the United Nations, created just to prevent future wars. By starting a war, my opponent believes we will be advancing, though provides no evidence to support this claim, and Pro believes that war is better than peace. "War is a process in our lives like death and life it is a necessary it makes us value what is good and what is not." Other than being a run-on sentence, and not making any sense, this statement is false. My opponent does not state any supporting claims and by "[making] us value what is good and what is not" is the exact statement that can be used against him. People would value life over war, and therefore would see that life is good and war is bad. "It effectively brings out the best in all of us and can force us to become the best of what we can be" Other than ending the lives of "the best ... of us" this could be true. Still, no evidence. "how can we understand what peace is and what it is worth without war? " Do you value peace or war? By starting a war and ending millions of lives would in fact show us what peace is, but after two world wars is it enough? According to my opponent's logic, every couple of years there should be a world war to reinforce people what peace stands for. "I think the benefits of war outweigh the cons and the level of naive fools in government are increasing" Firstly, I would like to ask my opponent. If you truly believe that war is better than peace, then do you truly believe that instead of just a world war 3, we would have a WW IV, V, VI, VII, VIII ..... Other than that my Pro didn't state who the "naive fools" are. "fighting for something you love changes you for the better." Sure, well if you don't die in the process your statement might be true. "07kingow forfeited this round." Unfortunately, as I am truly sorry for, I could not in fact negate this statement as i did for nearly every other one. I await my opponent's response.
