Knowledge has inherent value

On the whole knowledge is generally worthless. Had my opponent said relevant knowledge has inherent value, I would have agreed. Alas, he did not. The daily minutia of a person in Russias life is knowledge that is completely worthless for me because i do not gain any utility from obtaining it. Perhaps one of the most cumbersome processeses most humans face is the need to sort information that is actually pertinent. Rather than quoting the words of philosophers and attempting to use their words for my argument, I will make an analogy. Imagine knowledge is like an email inbox. My opponent is saying that the entire inbox including the junk box with 600 emails about viagra is valuable. I am saying only the pertinent emails are valuable. Since there is more worthless and irrelevant knowledge than there is relevant knowledge, on the whole knowledge has no inherent value. TL;DR 1. Only relevant knowledge has value (common knowledge) 2. There is more irrelevant knowledge than relevant knowledge (common knowledge) 3. Knowledge on the whole is irrelevant (deduction) 4. Knowledge on the whole has no value (transitive)
This house would make voting compulsory.

People just aren't well informed about politics. They have no clue what they're voting for. In all likelihood it's probably a good thing democracy has been undermined by the media, banking and other institutions. I was watching this documentary recently and I'm sure the interviews were, cherry picked but several Americans when asked if they knew what the holocaust was and they claimed to have never heard of it. Why the hell would anyone want those fools voting?
enough credible evidence exists to believe n UFOs from extraterrestials

how can you say there is no logic to the sightings? the above link shows that there's logic to maybe it being true. even if it's not, there's still logic to the idea. UFOs could escape detection. if they can make it here, they could escape detection. it wouldn't necesssarily be detected. we wouldn't eb talking about the feasiblility if htey are escaping detection, that's the whole idea.
Trump's Border Wall Will Do More Harm Than Good

How else will we protect our borders without a wall. Nothing is working right now. Illegals can not climb over walls like they are doing right now if the wall is built. Who cares what a handful of architects say? The wall is thoughtfully planned out. Schools are run by school districts and state lwas. Not the fed gov. Government health care should be gone. We should not spend on public things because we already have so much and nothing has changed. (https://www. Youtube. Com/watch? V=q2jijuj1ysw) The rio grande is the edge of the mexico border. It would be bulit on one one side of it, But not across. If a wall was built across it, It would be a damn, And water would flow over it. Claims that Trump said to nuke mexico is bogus. They were made by an MSNBC anaylst, And they have yet to be verified, Prbably because they are the most left wing news out there, And they are lying.
Trump's Border Wall Will Do More Harm Than Good

Building a wall is a great use of money, If means keeping 11+ million illegals out of the country. You mention it could go towards health care, Gov. Schools, And other government stuff. This would be a huge waste, Because the government sucks at everything. Schools are terrible, Health care is inefficient and payed for by taxes, And basically we should not spend on government run stuff. I'm sure the water saving thing would not be big enough to be worried about, And maybe the Trump admin. Could work around that. Asserting that trump would nuke Mexico is bogus and another left wing propaganda.
Professional Sport players should not get that much money.

Look as I have said before the free market should decide the wages of individuals. You accept this principle and yet don't see that it applies to athletes as well as everyone else. Athletes do possess a skill that is more or less unique to them. The reason that they get paid so much is because there are none or very few people who possess the skills of athletes. In this circumstance the free market decides that wage and the wage that the free market has decided is the wage they currently have.
Professional Sport players should not get that much money.

Nope, you are not getting it. I didn't say everybody gets the same wage, no no no. I said, that sports players should not get as much as MILLIONS a year! That's outrageous! Doctors who are saving lives need that money! Hospitals, homeless- can't you see? Commercials asking for money for the hospitals, cancer patients striving and hoping that people will give them money! What about sports, tell me the time you have ever seen a sports player in commercial with that sad look on his/her face asking for money? (Unless if it's for cancer organizations and that would be a testimonial) Most likely never. Admit it! What good does sports do to us! Socializing with other nations, yes that's a good point but that won't give a patient in need therapy! Entertainment, yes another good point, but will that give a homeless person a home?!? Have you ever watched Ratatouille? Anyone can cook? Quote Ego: " Not anyone can become a fine artist, but a fine artist can come from anyone." Concerning both doctors and sports alike, it know they all needed to work hard to achieve their point of success, don't get me wrong! But is a Multi-million salary in fact needed to fulfill it? After food, one of the things people spend money on is sports. Come to my house, you'll see a sports jersey, or a hat. Something! And it is the same thing you will see in most people's house around the world. All that money could be used on other things, that were more important! I'm not saying I don't like sports, but sports athletes get too much money! When they break a bone, they need a doctor to fix them up! And it is most likely that if a doctor had not helped fix them, they could die from disease or permanent damage from the bone not fusing back together properly. Yet athletes are making tons of money, and how much of well spent minutes that would be used for the greater good have been used? Not much. Not much at all.
Professional Sport players should not get that much money.

The system you are describing in which everyone get's paid the same wage no matter about market concerns is called communism (no hyperbole that is practically the definition) it is a system which destroys the economy of every nation it touches and always ends up with horrific acts of genocide. Look while the salaries of high end sport players may seem ridiculous the alternative is much much worse. This is all about the free market. Sports players can be paid a lot (most are not paid that much) and that is because the market has created a demand for them. And no not everyone can play sports professionals will spend often their entire lives fine tuning their talent. They put as much effort in as any other professional.
Professional Sport players should not get that much money.

How about doctors? They don't get paid millions a year? How about the person that built this computer that you and I are using? They don't get paid millions a year. Anyone can have a ball and run with it. Not everyone can be good at it, but anyone can do it. Cn everyone do open heart surgery? Can everyone withstand pressure when it's a life or death moment, can everyone make computers and program them and everything? I believe not!

Superman vs Goku

I will refute this nonsense post-Superman is stronger than any of Goku's ssj tramsformations and would prabably be able to kill him with less that ten hits but in combat Goku is much faster. Superman may be able to fly at the speed of light but no one can recall the last time that he fought at the same speed as his flight or even at Dragonball combat speed. Also because Goku was thought marshall art it gives he is able to dodge and counter Superman's attacks as when it comes to fighting Superman relise on his brute strenght. It is said that Superman's only weaknesses are kryptonite and the destruction of the sun which fuels his energy giving him unlimited duration and obviously Goku Isn't intelligent enough to realise that concluding that he will attempt to take him on head on. So if Goku is fast enough to dodge Superman's attacks and Superman can obviously handle Goku's physical attacks who is going to win. Well I believe that Goku can easily overwehlm Superman's defence with dragonfist as his ki attacks would most likely damage Superman too much. If the planet that they are fighting on gets destroyed Superman's only chance of winning is restraining Goku from instant translocating his way to a planet that supplies oxygen which will result the battle to a draw unless they fought in Other World then Goku would win. So what do you think Kal-El or Kakarrot?PS: If Goku does something smart for once realises this is going nowhere and instant translocated himself to New Namek and used Porunga to wish for immortality he would definately win.PPS: Do you also agree that Kid Buu would beat them both as he is immortal and can reincarnate from something as low as smoke/steam/cloud-Before I refute I would like to point out he copied this from answers.com which cannot be used as a good source since anybody can say this with there own thoughts and opinionhttp://answers.yahoo.com...--Superman was able to turn back time by spinning the world was able to pull numerous planets with a huge chain escape a blackhole Superman is just to overpowered to be beaten by Goku Goku's punches will just bounce of Superman Superman's heat vision also has the same temperature of the sun's core which brings me to this conclusionSUPERMAN IS FASTERSUPERMAN IS STRONGERSUPERMAN CAN KNOCK GOKU OUT WITH SIMPLE PUNCHESSUPERMAN CAN DESINTEGRATE GOKUGOKU'S BLAST WONT EVEN HIT SOMETHING 4 TIMES THE SPEED OF LIGHTCONCLUSIONSUPERMAN WINS

Spanking children

Well when you say spanking your child is the best means of discipline a child it"s not, In facts it illegal in America kids get taught this number and there parents can get arrested from doing so would you want to get arrested from just spanking your kids. As a kid taking there phones, PS4, Etc would be the best form of discipline since if it means most to them they will listen, Stop and do as there told. On this website that I have found says "Spanking destroys mental health. Spanking increases delinquency and criminal behavior. Spanking makes it more likely the child will be physically abused. " (https://www. Psychologytoday. Com/us/blog/moral-landscapes/201309/research-spanking-it-s-bad-all-kids) "Children spanked frequently and/or severely are at higher risk for mental health problems, Ranging from anxiety and depression to alcohol and drug abuse, According to some research studies. Children whose parents hit them regularly may also develop more distant parent-child relationships later on. " (https://www. Brookings. Edu/research/hitting-kids-american-parenting-and-physical-punishment/) Both of these websites state that when you spank you kid you will later on have depression and have a lots of health problems. Yes this will happen over time and you will have to do it a lot, But yes I know you going to say "do it hard so they get the point" but how hard do you have to spank a kid before you it"s to late and they ring the number, You going to be in jail. I think if you love you kids enough just taking what"s important will be the best form of punishment.
Spanking children

Spanking children is the easiest, Most effective form of discipline. I do admit that there are forms of physical punishment that can go too far, Simple methods are absolutely fine. Look at what society was like years ago. Children would do as their parents tolled them. They would not fight back or argue. Now you see the children taking charge of the house. Rebellious teens are common in modern society. Parents have become weak and unable to control them because they did not discipline them correctly at a younger age. As the children get older, The method of punishment can change. Confiscating items would not work as effectively when they are a child. However that method works a lot better when they are teens. If you punish them correctly, You may not even need to punish them as much as a teen.
Spanking children

Well in fact that yes the cane did work but society has changed and is not the same so no wonder it changed yes it works but again schools use other things to make people listen and yes it works like take laptop of them or iPad. With the toy situation okay yes you can take the toy and thy will find another one but they will kick and scream and then you will put them into your room then you come back and talk about what you did, Give the toy back and then done he learned and then it"s fine. In my opinion you should not hit your kid pretty much child abuse so in my opinion it"s not a responsible parent and if the kid ends up calling the cops then you can stop them from telling the cops they hit me to hard.
Spanking children

The reason physical punishment is no longer in school is because of people like you that believe it is dangerous towards the child. It was very effective when it was being used, But society decided that it is cruel towards children and decided not to use it. I disagree with the fact that it is cruel and believe it would be a good idea even in modern society. My dad was given the cane for running in the hall. Guess what, He did not run in the hall after that. The method works. When taking away toys from children, It is not hard to find a different toy until they can get that one back. That is why spanking is a lot more effective. You have to find something that they will not like, Then use that against them in order to stop them from doing something bad. If a cat does something wrong, Most cats hate water spray bottles, So the owner uses a spray bottle. The cat should eventually realise it is doing something wrong and stop doing it in order to avoid the spray bottle. This works with children. When they have done something wrong, They will be spanked by their parents. Eventually, They will stop in order to avoid being hit. Thank you for a very interesting debate. Good luck in the voting stage. (Also I think you made a mistake in your last statement. The final sentence is incomplete. It may not be your fault but I thought it should be bought up so you are aware. )
Spanking children

Well in a sense yes spanking your child back then in schools and work but why did why stop it, People when to far and thats why it"s illegal now, If it was a good means and people think that you should use the cane then why not use it now. With the crime being at the age of 23 yes there might be lack of punishment but my punishment is taking electronics off them, You can teach your kids not to do what they do, They have programs like beyond scared straight where they just scare them again another tactics which is not hitting them. Worldest strictest parents are scripted to make it look like they actually are getting better towards the end, When they are on these shows they don't hit or touch the kids they take there precious things like there phone, Smoke but the show is the worst of the worst kids not every kid is like that. With the
Spanking children

I am aware it is illegal in America. We are not debating that. We are debating whether or not is is morally correct. When you state that spanking a child destroys their mental health, Then why was it not evident when capital punishment was in schools. Society back then relied on that method of punishment, And it worked. Now if it is illegal to hit your kids in America now, Then why is their a raise in youth crime. Currently, One third of young Americans are arrested by the age of 23. Is there a correlation between a lack of punishment and a rise in youth crime? Evidence suggests that it is a possibility. You can watch videos online called world strictest parents. The parents of those children are weak and refuse to spank their children. When they go to a new family, Those new parents are very strict. There is one occasion when a family hired a professional security guard with a carbine rifle in order to scare the kids. And guess what, It works. However, The people in those videos are teenagers. Those tactics would not usuallt work on children. If anything they would be interested in that carbine rifle because they may have never seen one before. The methods you are taking about mainly works on teenagers or pre-teens. If you take away a toy from a child, They will probably just find a new one to play with. It will not be effective. When you spank a child, They would not like you for a few minutes, But they will eventually learn their lesson and get over it.
Is a Flat Tax Fair

Everyone paying the same percentage in taxes would be fair if everyone worked about as hard as each other. If everyone works equally hard, then I agree a flat tax should be used. However, this is far from reality. Those in the top percentages of incomes consistently have to do very little work to maintain their same income. Those who are poor, however, often expend a great deal of effort just trying to find a job. While big business tycoons can relax in their corporate headquarters knowing they're making dollars per second, the poor may have to work all day or all night just to make less than enough money to live on. It's not fair that these two incredibly different groups of people should have to pay the same percentages. The rich can afford to pay significantly higher taxes, as it doesn't affect them nearly as much since they have such high incomes. The poor can't, since they have so little.
Is a Flat Tax Fair

The Flat Tax would be a fair system where everyone pays the same percentage in taxes. This system would have many benefits because most flat tax plans remove deductions and loopholes so that way no one can cheat on their taxes. The main opposing argument for the fairness of a flat tax is that it doesn't make the rich "pay their fair share" but the fact of the matter is that the rich would pay their fair share. Under a 10% flat tax a person making $10,000 a year would pay $1000 while someone making $1,000,000 a year would pay $100,000 in taxes 100 time that of the other i would say that is definitely a fair share.
