Capitalism vs Socialism

"He still has not created a case for socialism." In essence socialism does everything you say Capitalism does only better. Hows that for a case? :p Citations included."He has not represented a form of government therefore making his case just a rebuttal. He has not even defined socialism. Did he even bother to study socialism." Should I have to define it? I assert "Common Knowledge". For instance your "definition" of capitalism actually not correct and one you made up; here's the correct definition:"A system of economics based on the private ownership of capital and production inputs, and on the production of goods and services for profit." (http://www.investopedia.com...) Note that only the first two sentences actually correlate in Con's definition and that "Free Market" which is not an inherent aspect of Capitalism and so forth and so on are tagged on. A centralized market is completely possible with Capitalism it's just not widely used but the very notion of "regulation" is that centralization incarnate."Yes, I must check my history because the difference between early and late 2000 makes me historically inaccurate." Actually it does because the event you referred to for the iPhone didn't occur at the time you referred to it but alas it's just you so ... It's a given that you didn't connect the temporal error as being critical to your argument. I wish I could get away with saying "The tech bubble burst in the early 1990s" but I am positive I'd hav people down my throat instantly; by the way the iPhone incident you do refer to is attached to the tech bubble not the last recession just FYI. Take it with you; you'll be better for it.""Also note that source dating for studies goes back about 20 years in normal debates." Cite the studies?"; you mean "regulations" or "standards" since the studies were already cited... You commented on it's age. Maybe this isn't for you. Anyway, in order for the standard to fail you have to show that the actual source is, due to it's age, outdated (https://www.e-education.psu.edu...) which you did not."Millions of our tax payer money is going to the government. I looked at his source. His source comes from the government." Do I have to finish this paragraph? Alright, alright, I will, "I'm curious. Was my opponent really that desperate that his only source for the government improving food was from the government. That's like asking Fox News if they have bias. Even if my opponent's argument is valid, than explain how dealing with malnutrition has anything to do with my argument on making food taste better. Did my opponent even bother to read. I am okay with the government investing in malnutrition research, but that has nothing to do with getting food to taste better. My opponent's argument is irrelevant because it only attacks an anarchist." Okay, I did it, I read it and quoted it and I am hoping you're happy I did because my eyes now bleed. Thank Hades this is the last round; first and foremost I would think that giving grants to schools to manage lunches, giving grants to colleges to better improve food through genetic research, and giving funding to programs for better enticing the nation to healthier food would all be described as "better" and mind you I offer better on an objective front since there's no way comparing McDonald's to a top culinary resturaunt would be considered at all the goal of making food better whether in taste, price per item, nutrition value, or any other quantifiable manner. This amuses me at best as I wipe away the bloody tears."I am beginning to wonder if my opponent knows what a market is." Considering everything you've said thus far the only thing you've gotten right is that taxes exist. That's about it." Market: a meeting together of people for the purpose of trade by private purchase and sale and usually not by auction." I can't imagine what corner of your room you pulled this one out of. Let's try again: "A medium that allows buyers and sellers of a specific good or service to interact in order to facilitate an exchange. The price that individuals pay during the transaction may be determined by a number of factors, but price is often determined by the forces of supply and demand." (http://www.investopedia.com...) Note the lack of anything about auctions. Also note that auctions are completely normal forms of market such as car and large property auctions. Because who knows why you bid on houses?Let's just stop. Please vote for Pro. I hope you win out of pity.
