Yes Virginia, There Are Stupid Questions

My opponent has falsely claimed i am Female, because my writing style is 'feminine' - How? Define to me how my writing style symbolises in any way my gender, It is simply words, used within the context of the English language, with appropriate grammar. For reference, I am a Male. (not sure how this is relevent). I would advise my opponent to utilise basic tactics to 'gray' gender in a debates - use terminology such as "my opponent", or your opponents stance (Pro,Con) - this will stop any embarrasing leaps to conclusion. (Some may even call your assumption as 'stupid' - but as my point stands, stupidity is subjective - you were simply ignorant).---------"but her attempts are based purely on unsupported speculation and personal opinion, making her attempts superficial at best." There is a saying - "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones" - My point of contention here is that stupidity is subjective - You are basing your entire argument upon unsuported speculation and personal opinion (i.e. if you didnt think they were stupid, then this debate would not be in existance) - Don't attempt to undermind my lack of fact, by trying to smokescreen your own.----You saying that it being subjective does not diminish the overwhelming existence of supidity - Again this is subjective, The same as a hypothetical scenario where aliens consider all advances we have made in fossil fuel - they would probably look at that as 'stupid' - Who uses a finite resources for that long, after proof that it destroys their foundation of survival??Even that hypothetical example is based upon the subjective views of said aliens, All of mankind celebrate and revel in our ingenious progressions through technology.These examples you have, were brought up by people; People have their opinions (i.e. making the question 'stupid'), to then place out in the internet, you happen to agree with that one persons opinion, and have subjectively brought it about as fact - We are not arguing stupidity - just stupid questions (Which are none, unless looked at by a subjective point).You have asked for me to prove many things "Prove that the student was reasonably ignorant", "if it was dyslexia, wouldn't it be GSP?" - All these are subtle tactics to push the fact that BoP comes from those making the accusation - which is "that the questions are stupid."All these defenses at asking me to answer your questions, when you are the one that needs to prove their intelligence, sanitiy and any other disorders that may present to explain how your accusation that these questions are stupid, are in fact - stupid. I have bended my position of defensive to answer some of these questions, yet this has somehow given you the expectation that it is up to me to prove you wrong - No. You must prove yourself correct for it to be considered correct. Unfortunately this is the last round, so we cannot continue unfortunately.==========Now regarding your lawyer parts - Picture yourself in the position of the person being interrogated by an aggresive lawyer - Something either happened to you that was either traumatizing, or something that you did that was horrifying. (petty claims usually do not require expensive or aggressive lawyers).Now if it is the first scenario, you have gone through the situation many, many times in your head - relived the horrifying moments that may have happened to you, and then up front questions are brought with the specific intention of putting you off guard. You expect to have a plithy response in a court, surrounded by strangers, (some potentially hostile) - to relive the horrible moment in your life?? Rediculous to say the least.The second scenario - either you are a psycopath with no sense of remorse, which means you may have a response for the lawyer if such a question is given to you... However most humans have consciences, and such a question may be enough to put them from a structured response line, to actually having to think of responses while they are on the stand, away from their lawyer who can only object to questions if they are legitimately objectionable, the chances of a crook cracking in those circumstances are huge.In both scenarios i can show you that without the benefit of 3 days to respond to our debates, it can be much, MUCH harder to come up with applicable responses to such forthright and offensive questions.===========I will not raise new points this round, or answer any more points raised by my opponent in the last round, as there is no where to go, and I anticipate that each of my responses will deem another response from my opponent, which is not fair in my perspective (Me getting the last word in).This has been a fun debate - And whilst personally I do agree there are questions that I would consider as stupid - that doesn't mean that the questiosn themselves are classed as stupid. My opponent seems to think that if enough people say 'that's stupid' - then that makes it fact.By this claim, God is a 100% proven fact. Earth and its' people are controlled by 6 family corporations - All potentially true, however Facts and proof are required of the situations to actually make those suspicions or accusations true.I feel that during this debate, while both parties have been cordial to each other - my opponent has been subtly leaning upon his personal views in regards to this debate, and exposing his own ignorance in the process - an example is that my opponent could have simply asked what other would consider a 'stupid' questions - i.e. "What gender are you", or "are you a boy or a girl?" to lift their ignorance, but in their fear of being called stupid regarding the context, they proceeded to do something far more stupid in my opinion - which is jump to a conclusion.That fact of jumping into the wrong answer, stands for the exact reason why I believe there are no such thing as stupid questions - If my opponent had simply asked that one question, their ignorance would be lifted - If they still made the claim that i was women, then that would be false - We would consider it stupid, but it would simply be false.Stupidity is subjective - Ignorance is the actual danger here, and our ego as humans - as males even - stop us from taking those few minutes to gather truth, or to bully those who take the time to alleviate their ignorance.
