Vi_Veri is hotter than theLwerd.

I'm sorry to hear that you only had 10 minutes; but, in the spirit of fairness, you're the one that set the time limit to a mere 24 hours ;) What my opponent is trying to say here, folks, is that he doesn't actually have to prove the claim that he himself has set up, as both the pro, AND the instigator of this debate; if he doesn't want to prove his claim, then he's already lost; it's called the 'burden of proof' for a reason. Now, on the weight issue, he claims that heavier girls are not as 'awesome' as those like Vi_Veri; still, he doesn't address the fact that, as far as heavier weight is concerned, he himself has admitted that "maybe this is better"; flow the fact right on through to the CON that this is extremely close to a concession, because he's essentially admitting that he might not be proving the resolution true. As far as the evidence of theLwerd's supposedly larger weight, I'd like to point out that first of all, only a small part of her arm is visible, her face doesn't seem to give much detail as to her weight, and her 'upper abdomen' looks to me is simply the effect of a blurry picture and a 'poofy' shirt; nothing more. So, if you believe that she is heavier, you also must believe, to a point, that my opponent has conceded; if you do not believe to be heavier, that places her either equal to Vi_Veri in that respect; regardless, it's all a matter of perspective as to what one finds attractive; this means that, beyond his own preference (should you choose to accept it), he cannot prove the resolution true. What I'm doing with the personal preference/subjectivity argument is proving a point; the gist is this; you can't affirm the resolution based solely on your belief that Vi_Veri is more sexually attractive; but then, I go on to say that, even if voters look at the round through the perspective you have offered, I've still found multiple ways to turn it against you, the weight argument being one example. As far as the pale/tanned skin issue goes, my argument here is not that you either have pale or you have tan, but rather that, if pale skin is so common, it's far more than likely that many men find a woman's soft, light, creamy skin to be very sexually attractive, despite the handful of people attempting to become tanned. For the last big paragraph that he copies, he just claims it to be irrelevant; my big question here is, why? He offers no reason that this should be excluded from your voting considerations; all that I am trying to explain there is that while his personal preference is valid for HIM, he can't use that to universalize the resolution; everyone has their own personal preference; I'm sure mine differs from my opponents; my point there is that because everyone's preference is different, he cannot possibly prove the resolution true as a general principle, which is his burden as PRO, since he made the positive claim to begin with; and, like I said at the bottom there, if there is even the SMALLEST doubt in your mind by now that the PRO is trying to weasel out of his burden of proof (especially now that he tries to say that the spirit of debate is arguing something that "doesn't necessarily have to be proven"), you're going to give this to the CON. Now that I've gotten the extensions out of the way, I'd like to point out a few arguments that my opponent dropped. Near the top of the flow here is the drinking argument; he never refutes the fact that Vi_Veri could very possibly engage in the consumption of alcohol, coupled with the statistics I gave about how underage females are more likely to report binge drinking; I really want to hammer home that 'forbidden fruit' concept, because this will put the two ladies on an even theoretical playing field for the purposes of this debate, since my opponent not only presented that appeal to probability fallacy, but dropped the underage drinking concept as well, and especially the fact that, even if theLwerd were consuming alcohol, her picture tells us that it is not an amount significant enough to negatively alter her appearance; so, this is yet another point to flow to the CON today. Also, a drop on his part concerning the hair color argument is the fact that, to this point, we still have not positively confirmed theLwerd's hair color; so, first of all, she could also have a light to medium brown hair color, which would fit the subjective parameters of my opponent's argument (his alleged preference for brunettes), yet another reason that his personal preference, while not usable as universal proof, still works best for me; but also, flow through the fact that, even if she is blonde, the stereotype goes that blondes tend to have a lot more fun, causing many sexually-driven males to crave them and seek them out. So, if nothing else, you have to vote on the fact that everyone has their personal opinion about what makes a girl sexually attractive, and that, while his opinion works for him, it may not appeal to everyone; so, you can't allow his personal preference to carry the weight of the round; but, like I said, even if you look at the round through what my opponent has given us of his perspective, I've shown how that works far better for my position than it does for his. Thanks much, give this round to CON, and I hope to hear from my opponent when he has all the time he needs to build the strongest argument possible.
