Concerning Postmen

"Dogs should be legally allowed to attack and bite postmen (or postwomen/ postpeople? ). In fact, I propose opening this law up so that all animals would be allowed to attack postmen when delivering letters, packages etc. " I must then argue that dogs should not bite postman. I will start off by addressing the arguments of my opponents. "1) It would be good for dogs in the society. Not only would they recieve extra exercise and fun from attacking the postmen, they would be off their owners hands for a while, giving them the much needed break (dogs can be very like toddlers- cute, drooling, everything ends up in their mouths, but loud and annoying)" What this argument comes down to is whether we would rather respect the autonomy of a human being or that of a dog. The answer is quite clear. Let me explain. My opponent says that a law must be past allowing for this occur. I contend that the government would not be fulfilling its obligation if it past this unjust law. The government has an obligation to protect its citizens and prevent crime. First, in order to achieve justice, the government must fulfill its obligation. Without the government fulfilling its obligation society would collapse and become unjust. Second, if government does not fulfill it's obligation, then crime will increase. This is because our society will be without proper supervision thus increasing crime. Thus, the government has an obligation to protect it's obligation and protect it's citizens. By passing this law, the government would be failing to fulfill it's obligation. First they would not be protecting its citizens (the postmen), and would secondly be allowing crime (denying of postman's autonomy). Thus the government needs to respect the autonomy of its postmen or else would not fulfill it's obligation. This would corrupt society. Thus we would rather look to what is good for postmen rather than dogs. "2) A TV show called "Postwatch" would be set up to telivise the attacking. This would be shown only at night, similar to "Crimewatch", except less pointless. This would recieve a large audience, as it would make great telivision. " My opponent can in no way prove that this show would receive ratings. Peoples rights are more important than entertainment. "Less court cases involving dog bites would be going on, therefore saving the time of the court people, who should be more concerned with the growing sheep-human mutant crossover that is currently taking over New Zealand. " This is a matter of opinion. I would argue that dog bite cases are more important than the sheep-human mutant crossover. Furthermore, this only affects New Zealand not the rest of the world. "4) It would also be very amusing to watch. You really can't argue against that. Crime rates are going up, mainly due to boredom in the big boring housing area's. This is a form of entertainment that I am offering to you for FREE. The only people who couldn't enjoy this would be blind people and they arn't normally the ones you find robbing shops anyway. Even the postman would find it funny, they would be running down the street laughing. And if they were killed by a dog, well, at least they went down with a smile :D AND they were "on duty" aswell. That can look really good on gravestones if you get the right carver and font " This is ridiculous. I can't believe you can see entertainment in other peoples pain. If you suggest that watching a dog bite a postman to death is entertainment, then you are being absolutely crazy and need to see a phsycologist. And to further on this, you proceed to make fun of blind people. "5) Everyone hates the mother****ing postmen anyway, they deserve it completly and they had it coming (don't even TRY to say they didn't see it coming - cartoons are on TV all the time, and more often then not are an accurate representation of life. Take South Park, for example)" To win this argument, my opponent has to show that every single person hates postmen. I like postmen. Thus my opponents argument is flawed. HOW ABOUT YOU WATCH THESE TV SHOWS FOR FUN INSTEAD OF INHUMANE ACTS. "You might say this wouldn't encourage people to become postmen, but why do you care? They can become scientists or whatever and become more productive for society. And anyway, theres always a few people really desparate for money, who will do ANYTHING for money. By anything, I really mean ANYTHING. " Many of these postmen are not qualified to be scientists. Also look back to my autonomy argument. Every human has the same amount of autonomy no matter what their role in society is. In this round, my opponent is suggesting something that is absolutely inhumane. I have also disproved all of her arguments.
