Society is Getting Worse

First thing I would like to point out is that my "unnecessary and constant pleads to the judge" were only 5 times and that was at the end of each of my points to show the judge why he should be voting for me. As for the whole "6th grade history textbook" argument, I would like to ask you since when did 6th graders start learning about statistics in American rudeness in history? Also, when did they start learning in history textbooks things that have come out in the media within the past 5 years? I would really love to see a logical explanation for this. And you did not just simply "skip over a few of my arguments." You dropped almost my ENTIRE opening argument on rudeness and brought up slavery with only a little argument against bad language. But I will get into all that later on in my closing argument. As for the first 4 links you brought up, I would love to see an explanation as to how the early schooling and early houses is linked to anything in this entire debate? This is the first time it was ever brought up and, frankly, I do not think it is very fair for me to have to worry about proving my point on those two subjects in my last argument when there is so much more that I have to argue. So in my opinion, the links for early schooling and early housing is irrelevant and untopical. Not to mention all you did was provide the links, not telling how it relates to this debate or what you want to be read or anything. As for the slavery link, I will have to say I am almost completely clueless as to how that is relevant. I do like the very first sentence which states, "Slavery enters human history with civilization." That is basically saying that slavery was a part of life. The rest of the article was talking about the entire history, which I really see no relevance in how it proves that slavery was "rude." As for the energy saver link, with this country currently being being $53 trillion in debt and rising http://mwhodges.home.att.net.... So please explain how we could fund this. What list are you talking about? From what I gathered, you were talking about the whole China issue and if so, how? You were unclear on all this and I really think the links and the list of items argument should be thrown out simply because you fail to express how they are relevant, what specifics you wanted emphasized, all you did was provide links, half of which, are irrelevant. 1) Rudeness Please explain to me how you think my rudeness statistic is irrelevant. I did provide a link and it is hard evidence as to what the majority of America thinks. You did not provide any hard evidence as to how rudeness in America is not an issue, how it is not as bad as most think, or anything. You just simply said "there are thousands of statistics to prove this" but you provide none. You are going on, in your own words, "speculation." With the link you provided from Wikipedia, I would like to point out that if you click on the lock icon at the top it goes to a page that says that "Semi-protection prevents edits from anonymous users (IP addresses), or from accounts which are not autoconfirmed. Administrators may apply indefinite semi-protection to pages which are:......." and then goes on to say what they are. Basically saying that people can go in and edit the information on that site if they have an account. Therefore, this link can be deemed irrelevant. If you want to know what it fully says, then click on it yourself. Another point is, why is it relevant to this topic to count how many characters I spend describing something? Please explain to me how in the world that is relevant at all and will help you win your case. For everything I said on slavery I stick to it, see above paragraph. 2) Stupidity I would like to point out that it had to be more than just "a few dimwits" messing up to cause the companies to put warning labels on everything. Companies are having to worry too much about lawsuits because of the idiots it is not even funny. Another thing is, how could legal proceedings have progressed if people, like you said, "have more freedom to sue others" and now, you could practically win on almost any case. The examples you gave about people in history really are not that topical simply because they were not stupid, they were down right DANGEROUS. There is a difference. According to dictionary.com, stupid means "lacking ordinary quickness and keenness of mind." Dangerous means "full of danger or risk; causing danger; perilous; risky; hazardous; unsafe." So yea, I would say these people were dangerous, not stupid. It is not just simply the testicle warnings. It is everything that I have mentioned. We start off with the small, stupid warnings that are no brainers to some of us, and then it just gets down right idiocy. 3) Government About the pet food, tell the many, many, many people in this country that have lost pets because of this issue that it is "another greatly exaggerated worry." They would not agree with you and neither do I. Here is a link for recalled pet food. http://www.accessdata.fda.gov... There are 91 cat food recalls, about 110 dog food recalls, 2 for ferrets, 1 for fish, 1 for rats, and 1 for birds. Like I said about the toys, we have caught them, but only after they were distributed across the country. Plus, like I originally said, if the government cared, they would stop the trading with China after seeing a trend developing. You said that "most Chinese companies do realize this potential problem as well." If that is true, then why is it so unheard of? I have asked around and NO one out of the approx. 50 people I asked who watch the news have heard of them committing suicide or that they realize the problems. The article does state that, "Chinese companies often have long supply chains, making it difficult to trace the exact origin of components, chemicals and food additives." Which puts in our minds that knowing this fact, they probably are poisoning us on purpose because they know it is hard to trace exactly where it came from. It also states that, "The toy recalls were among the largest in recent months involving Chinese products, which have come under fire for containing potentially dangerous high levels of chemicals and toxins." Which only proves my point more that the American government needs to stop trading with China, and if they truly cared they would. 4) Gas By the way, CNN is one of about 40 local news channels across the nation. The gas prices are all over the news as well as the internet. http://money.cnn.com... http://www.tcpalm.com... http://www.gas-mileage-tips.com... Read everything in the above 3 links and you will see what I am talking about when I am talking about the gas prices. I still go with my original argument about gas prices affecting us to the point of homelessness. Refer to my opening argument if need be. You did admit they did talk about the economy getting worse, which is what I have been saying. 5)Living conditions The only thing I have to say, is say that it is over dramatized to the many who have lost their homes already. Everything I have already said holds true and I am not dropping anything I have said. Well, I have provided many links, and if that does not prove anything, then I don't know what will. Judge, I ask you to carefully review my closing argument and take to mind everything I have said and all the links I have provided versus all the links he has provided and everything he has said as well. Honestly I see nothing BUT a pro ballot because everything I have provided massively outweighs what my opponent has provided as in hard evidence and proves that today's society is getting substantially worse. If we do nothing about it, we will be extremely sorry in the long run that we did nothing about it
