All homosexuals should be grouped together and isolated in the Bermuda Triangle

"Homosexuals may cope a lot of unwarranted crap from people in this country, but approximately three-fourths of Americans support gay rights, so therefore, more people in this country support homosexuals and do not berate them. This would make homosexuals feel more comfortable knowing that although they receive crap from some people, they do not receive crap from the majority, for they are more accepted by the majority. (Notice my opponent has stated "this country," so I assume he refers to America, which I am also referring to)" Oh, 25%, is that all? There are 300,000,000 people in this country, meaning there are 75,000,000 people in this country who do not support gay rights. There is probably a higher percentage who support animal rights. If you went to a school where there were 1000 students, and 250 of them downright despised you and didn't mind letting you know it, you'd probably want to move schools if the opportunity presented itself. I am proposing we give homosexuals that opportunity. "If homosexuals were confined to one area, they would still be victims of hatred. People would openly make fun of them even more, for they figure they couldn't offend anyone now that all homosexuals were relocated." True though this may be, the point is that the homosexuals would no longer have to put up with the hatred. Rednecks will always be rednecks, hillbillies hillbillies, but if there were no homosexuals around to complain about and hate, I'm sure they'd move on to some other minority, like blacks or pensioners. "People would make crude remarks such as, "Man, we had to learn about triangles in geometry today. So I wouldn't get bored, I made the sides of the triangle look like gay penises touching each other, to look like what those gays are doing on the Bermuda Triangle."" I fear my opponent has accidentally supported my argument. If there is one thing in the world there is not enough of, it is good topical jokes. Leno and Conan can only do so much, the majority of topical jokes are made up by people like my opponent and I, and spread around the world at rapid pace. It is fun to hear topical jokes, and even funner to create them, and moving all homosexuals to the Bermuda Triangle would allow for some classics. 1. "Hey man, what does Steve have in common with the Bermuda Triangle?" "Dunno, what?" "They've both had thousands of gay men inside them." 2. "Hey man, I bought you a flight to the coolest spot on Earth!" "Really, Hawaii?" "No, something I bet YOU'D love even more than that. It's right up your alley." "Wow, what a pleasant surprise. Dubai? New Zealand?" "No.... THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE! BOOM SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE THE ROOM, BOOM SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE THE ROOM, TICK TICK TICK TICK BOOM!" "I have been burned. I am now less of a man for some reason." *Cries and loses girlfriend to joke-teller* Well you get the point. It would be fun. "Hundreds of millions of people are gay, so isolating ALL of them to the Bermuda Triangle would cost them a lot of money, cause overpopulation, and lead to embarrassment from being forced to move because of sexual orientation." Oh, you misunderstand me. I'm not arguing that we FORCE them to move to the Bermuda Triangle. I'm saying we give them the opportunity to do so. I am also arguing that it would be in the best interests of the gay community to make the move, and that they would all be in on it. Sure it would cost a lot of money, but money isn't everything you know. I think the well-being of the gay community is beyond mere monetary issues. For the first time in their lives, there would be NO embarrassment at all, quite contrary to what you've said. As for overpopulation, I've taken the liberty of doing the maths. Now, in my first round I clearly stated that I was only arguing on behalf of homosexuals in THIS COUNTRY. My opponent agreed to this term by saying "Notice my opponent has stated "this country," so I assume he refers to America, which I am also referring to." Therefore, as only 4.3 million American citizens identify themselves as homosexual [1], we would only need to find space for 4.3 million people. Using Google Earth I was able to draw a scale diagram of the Bermuda Triangle [2]. We can see that the area bound by the Bermuda Triangle can be represented by an equilateral triangle of side = 1000 miles. Therefore, the area of the Bermuda Triangle is: A = 0.5bh A = 0.5 x 1000 x (SQRT[500^2 + 1000^2]) A = 559,017 mi^2 So, for our 4.3 million homosexuals, each one would have an area to him/herself of: A = 4,300,000/559,017 A = 7.69 square miles/homosexual This is obviously far from overcrowded. "Not all homosexuals believe the Bermuda Triangle is a nice place. Not all homosexuals like nice things." I ask my opponent for evidence that not all homosexuals believe the Bermuda Triangle to be a nice place, because I think that logic is impeccable. All homosexuals DO like nice things, I don't know where my opponent is getting his information. I contend that all homosexuals like nice things, and because the Bermuda Triangle area is nice, they would enjoy the move. Let's just refresh here: This is what homosexuals put up with in America: http://thedailybackground.com... This is how they would live if they were all isolated at the Bermuda Triangle: http://www.ambushmag.com... "This point is irrelevant. Some homosexuals do not enjoy water, it could be that most of them do not, for "liking" something is simply subjective. This is not even relevant to the topic at hand." It is very relevant indeed and I fear my opponent just doesn't have a counter. It is relevant because I wouldn't want homosexuals to live in a place they didn't enjoy, but the plain fact is that all homosexuals do enjoy water, as the following images attest: http://farm1.static.flickr.com... http://www.gay-travelnet.com... http://www.miami-info.com... "What ways? My ways of wise judgement and acceptance? I would like to change your ways of ignorance." It's ignorant to want better things for the homosexual community? You don't sound too accepting at all. [1] - http://www.adherents.com... [2] - http://www.debate.org...
