The government stealing from you and giving it to someone else.

Behavior designed to continue one's life as such is not at the "expense of others," except of course if those others happen to be trying to kill you or otherwise interfering with your life. Indeed, usually things harming innocents cause them to want to try to kill you. So since the only real instance in which the behavior you describe as "immoral" occurs is self defense, may I ask if you regard self defense as immoral? Is man required to die just because someone wants him to? "Child labor" does not prevent orphans (the older ones anyway) from caring for themselves, child labor laws do. Those are the fault of your ilk, not mine, I would never support a law abrogating the right of children to freely pursue the continuance of their life anymore than I would support one abrogating mine. Besides, orphans are the exception to the rule, and as such what makes you think I or those similar to me would not choose to use some excess time or money in raising a few? I'm certainly not going to produce any children of my own, what with the world overpopulated and such, but frankly I'd say its quite rational to willingly feed, shelter, educate etc. a few orphans once I've achieved some wealth, rather than have them grow up to support the people who want to tax me :D. Your comment about "throwing them to the lions" considering not only my prohibition on initiating force but also the probably near complete lack of lions in a capitalist America (no tax dollars for zoos, meaning a lot fewer zoos since only a few are profitable :D) is hardly coherent enough to merit a response. You speak of me as "un-American" and yet you then speak of "obligation to help others." Slavery is american now? I thought there was a war fought over that, and the people deciding you could force people to some sort of obligation (the South) lost. Indeed, America was founded by people who were sick and tired of taxes, taxes much lower than the ones today. Who is un-American again? The government is forced to do NOTHING. To "force" a government is a contradiction in terms. A government is nothing more and nothing less than the party with controlling force in a region, if you force a government, it's not the government.
The government stealing from you and giving it to someone else.

behavior designed to continue one's life is not immoral, doing so at another's expense is. putting yourself above others is the kind of primitive and feral self-preservation that has become a hindrance to our social progress. Eating is a volitional act, but the issue is not convincing orphans to eat. quite so, it's the opposite. They can't be fed enough. They certainly can't provide for themselves, so who can they count on? in your harsh and dystopian world view, these unfortunate souls would be thrown to the lions. After all, child labor prevents them from working for their meals, and they certainly won't fill their stomachs on YOUR dime. and, of course, meals are only the first in a long line of expenses! there's housing, there's medical care, there's education, and day to day care of children who are by no fault of their own entirely dependent on the charity of others. I say that a system that fosters this kind of thought IS immoral. it is harsh, and it is un-American. Am I to believe that we, the world's wealthiest nation, cannot be counted on to care for those who cannot care for themselves? Are we so cold as to refuse aid to our neighbors? I say that our obligation as people to help other human beings thrive and progress forward as one human race, and not to draw lines in the sand over petty economic schisms and personal greed. You say the government steals from you? I say that it is because of people in this world who think the way you do that the government is forced to do so to help its people.
The government stealing from you and giving it to someone else.

You regard behavior designed to continue life as immoral? Then why are you alive? Man does not live by instinct, tell your declaration to all the people who die young every year. Except for those hooked up to an IV, eating is a volitional action, and without that action no one lives. The "morality" you speak of is precisely why many people are turned off at the thought of morality- it makes no goddamn sense to do things with others as the end. Human beings cannot experience the "good of others," they can only experience their own. What you regard as morality rewards most those who do not engage in that behavior, at the cost of those who do. Furthermore, "ignoring" the needy does not harm them, it leaves them as they were before. You speak of sacrificing as "moral?" What is a sacrifice? A sacrifice is the elimination of that one values- in the name of that one does not. You regard then, the destruction of value as moral? Justice occurs when people receive the consequences of their actions. By thisdefinition then, taxation is an injustice, because the government's actions did not result in the wealth in question, the actions of the party being taxed then. I do not in fact drive on roads made by the government (I don't drive,), but if I did, the fact remains toll roads would be a much fairer way to pay for it, the payment being proportional to the use. The mail system is essentially private whether the government operates it or not, because it is independent of tax money (the money spent on stamps and such pays for it). I don't own a home to heat, though the local energy company is in fact private, even if it does happen to have a legal monopoly (not something I approve of). The police department doesn't stop you from being robbed, it just captures the guy who did it later. A worthy endeavor, but not one in fact that demands taxation- every function of a legitimate government could be paid for voluntarily if a small percentage of every contract were charged to make that contract enforceable in court. No need for theft would then occur, businesses wouldn't want to have their contracts become worthless pieces of paper. The "mitigating differences" you speak of consists of cutting down those who succeed so as to save the feelings of those who fail. You can cry all you want about human misery, but it doesn't create a right. Stephen Hawking may have required the "help of those around him," but what you are failing to realize is that I am not advocating a return to the jungle where help is forbidden. Stephen Hawking earned that help through the value his mind provided to those who helped him. Help was not their purpose, not their standard, but a means to the end. Mutual aid by dividing and specializing labor is not called taxes, it's called capitalism. "Taxation" and "charity" are of course mutually exclusive terms, charity is voluntary, taxes are not. When you speak of "morality," you seem to mean- sacrifice of that which one values to that one does not. When I speak of morality, I mean- the creation of new values, values deemed such by the mind of the creator.
The government stealing from you and giving it to someone else.

I would begin by saying that the choice to live is in no way the root of morality. in fact, in many instances it has been the root of decidedly immoral behavior. The choice to live is in most cases not a choice at all, but a primal instinct that most cannot ignore. The root of morality is doing good for others as opposed to doing harm to others. Ignoring the needy while keeping your own well being in mind is, therefore, absolutely immoral. Conversely, sacrificing a portion of what you have earned (or taken, as would sometimes be the case) is the moral thing to do given the circumstance. You speak of taxation as though it is an incredible injustice, when in reality it 's simply a facet of a functioning society. there have been innumerable cases in history of unfair taxation, but that doesn't make taxation itself unfair. You drive on roads maintained by the government, mail Christmas cards (or whichever holiday happens to be driving you to mail cards) using a socialized, cheap and efficient mail system, you more than likely heat your home through a city run energy supplier, and (in all but extreme cases) you don't have to worry about being robbed on your way to dinner with your family, thanks to the police department which is paid for with your tax dollars. social systems like mail and the police and fire departments keep our society running smoothly and safely, and tax dollars pay for it all. similarly, charitable organizations and the Social Security of yesteryear are ways that we improve our society, help to mitigate class difference and social discrimination as a result of those economic schisms, and help to maintain a thriving democracy. Also, examples like Stephen Hawking are truly inspiring, and although no one wrote "a brief history of time" for him, he was able to make the amazing leaps that he has because of the help of those around him. after all, if he were left to fend for himself he would have died in weeks, and I'm almost positive that the wheelchair and vocal aid weren't there at birth. In short, morality favors taxation for charity since it is aiding other human beings and benefiting our society.

Beard or Clean Shaven

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer"s head. There"s also Rick"s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they"re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn"t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick"s existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev"s Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I"m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon"s genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂 And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It"s for the ladies" eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they"re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎
Beard or Clean Shaven

Mr, my opinion is right, idiot, allow me to teach you about BeardLife. First of all, shaving is a con, your standard razor is marked up by 5000% its production cost, n typically lasts btwn 2-8 shaves.-Con! BeardLife represents manliness, purity,maturity, self discipline, n wisdom. I mean imagine Moses clean shaven, man would have drowned tryna make them waves. In religion,especially Sikhism, cutting hair is a sin against god. Apart from the first itchy month, beards are so easy to maintain, n you can have so many variations to find the style that fits you best, im a box goatee with a cheekless beard sorta fella.
We need weapons

It doesn't matter if history was made by a lot of "ifs". "Ifs" mean decisions and this is a debate. "Ifs" are undecided and debates are where points need to be decided and absolute. Otherwise the point is futile. So now my opponent is advocating that not only should we kill every criminal in the world but we should also teach children why its bad to steal money, etc. So say supposedly that a child who is homeless steals some food. Stealing is against the law so we should just kill the child is what my opponent implies. What if we lived under a dictatorship that was unjust and cruel. People will fight for their freedom, is that wrong? It's against the dictators law so should we rat out the freedom fighters and kill them all? You're probably starting to see the problem with killing every criminal in this world. Good people sometimes are forced to do bad things because of situations. Good people sometimes break the law because they feel that morally what is happening is wrong. Should they be killed for it? Hiding Jews in World War Two was seen as wrong in the Germans point of view. Does that mean that your advocating that everyone who hid Jews should have been put to death? I could go on but you probably get my point by now. As for teaching children good morales from the beginning, we already do that. Does that mean that they listen? No. We do educate people on what is right and what is wrong. Does that mean they listen? No. No matter how much you try to educate people on what's right and wrong, their still going to commit what would be considered wrong at least once in their lifetime. Education will not stop criminals from popping up all over the place. We need weapons. We may have needed them for hunting once upon a time but now we need them to defend ourselves. There is no being diplomatic to a bomb that's already been dropped. There's no point in trying to talk it out to a murderer who's intent on killing you. We need weapons to protect ourselves and banning them will not make them go away. Like I said before, you cannot fight a raging fire with a cup of water.
We need weapons

There are many points based on "ifs"that made history. Well look at the justice system,the rich criminal getting away?What kind of justice is that? Death sentence rids of humans who do not wish to contribute to society BUT takes from society instead whether lives,taxes or serious rape. It's easy to scold baby holding a knife is wrong but facing an adult you might die uttering those words. Again which is why I present right education. It doesn't mean teach them math,history or science,it means teach simple things. heads before they reach complex thought. Example:teaching someone"you don't kill others to gain MONEY". If they ask why then why not give them a good interpretation. It never meant we are young we don't deserve answers about the biggest questions. I know some parents encourage crime,more than the child deserves detention,he has power to think things through and avoid basing his actions only on pure human emotion. Anyone can show a child how beautiful the world can be, Anyone can keep instilling negativity by always telling the child this is how the world works. Childhood is a very important stage,your darkest memories could change the whole you. It's always easier to stop a child from turning into a criminal than to turn the criminal to an innocent child. There is a possible future for the current justice system,there is also a possible future for the death sentence. I believe we are in a very modern generation now,critical thinking does not only touch the adults but people like me. Though I can safely say most are still addicted to games and media and only develop care for their own small 'world' So I guess this finally formally ends. My name is Imbree Maestre and I am against 'We need weapons'. Probably made a lot of mistakes but that was fun. Well this was my 1st debate. Thanks to my opponent,did really well.
We need weapons

I see what my opponent is trying to say. We should kill every criminal on the earth and then we would have no need for weapons. Well that's just great for like maybe the first two weeks. People aren't born evil. They become evil. Criminals will be replaced by criminals and the justice system will be replaced by an instant death sentence. Weapons now a days are used for keeping order and creating chaos. We need weapons on both sides to keep the balance. Your whole point is based off of an "if" which makes it invalid.
We need weapons

Well time for the final bullet. I have something in mind for round 5. The absurd bullet: You are very well concerned with criminals,terrorist and men with great power. I see the point of our dear president. There is too much drugs in our country. The children are taking drugs which is why he needs to kill the drug pushers,drug dealers and drug lords and bring those who surrender to rehabilitation. If I seem like implementing eradicating every criminal,terrorist,corrupt leader,rebels of the law then I actually am. Your so concerned with criminals and etc. Let's explore what if we eliminate your concerns. How does 'we don't weapons'sound like now? Look at us. Living in fear. Anything negative can happen. Bombs can blow my house can get raided the red alert button could be pressed now who or what is the main factor of all this fear? It's still us humans. I am implementing superb discipline as a final proposal. How will the system operate if there are clogs?for about 3 rounds I have been positive. Now is to shoot the worst opinion. I don't think anyone will bear the thought future generations suffering(unless you ars psychotic and take joy in the death of creation;FNAF reference). Not every one of us has a goal of working together and helping each other economically improve. After all this done,people with serious attachments that harm others gone. Then we can live without weapons. We either destroy them or stash them somewhere BUT as I've seen your point hide some blueprints on how to build them very very far away from any human. What about knives huh,hammers and chainsaws?maybe people will go back to bow and arrow slingshot. Well eliminate whoever uses it for wrong. Probably about hundreds of years weapons develop again at least I tried. Everyone will be given the right education nobody is gonna treat someone so bad they'll become a criminal we stick with one philosophy to work together and help each other. Final bullet shot. I end my stand here and wish luck to whoever is the last man standing after all the bullets fired. I would like to use my 5th round instead to express a few things not related to the debate topic and to formally close it along with my opponent.
We need weapons

I will use this round to strengthen my debate. Diplomacy is what my opponent implies instead of using weapons. So you really think we can talk a deal with terrorists without falling on the short end of the deal? You really think you could have changed a Germanys view on Jews just by talking to them? It's hard enough to get even a couple people to change their minds let alone a whole country. Then my opponent says that weapons will lead to world war three. Weapons will not be the cause of world war three I say. It'll probably be a power argument between two powerful countries. If a weapons ban happens in the whole world, nobody's going to listen to it. Our best chance at staying alive is to defend ourselves with weapons. Like I said before you can't fight fire with a cup of water. Talking to an atomic bomb isn't going to stop it from exploding when its already been detonated. Banning weapons will only take away weapons from those who protect people. Criminals don't care about laws, terrorists don't care about laws, in a world war people don't really care about laws like that.
