Watching television

MY opponent has made very few attempts to source any information. Most of their debate has no proof. This is a clear failure of BoP. We cannot believe most of Pro's arguments as they are baseless claims. -Pro has made no correlation to how a TV educates someone. -Pro has called the masses "ignorant". This is an insult. Many third world countries have little access to a TV. Therefore its "educational benefits" cannot, and HAVE not been proven.1.19 trilllion dollars is the "cost of literacy to the global economoy". If there are 7 billion people in the world, this is $145 per person. Thats not that bad in perspective. -Pro has not given any sources to their surveys therefore they should not be believed. Nor does "parents believing TV have a positive impact" have any scientific belief to the actual benefits of TV-"TV is a part of our lives. " . .. Pro is not using logic in this statements. Just because it is in our life does not mean it is has benefits. Fast food is more detrimental than beneficial. But i'ts "part of our lives" so it must be good? -Pro has still not shown how it educates people. News channels are very much informative. However, they do not educate someone. They do not teach math or science regularly to understand how to complete complex school problems. If you watch TV instead of going to class, you will not pass a math test given to the class you failed to go to. -"Complex story lines are not boring at all. They can be quite interesting and make you think more and thus develop the brain. "I never stated complex storylines are boring. I stated they can be confusing and deter people from watching. His rebuttal makes zero sense. -Pro has not argued how many drama shows, and others, contain misinformation or bend truths to be more interesting. Even many historical movies bend the truth. One of the movies listed in Pro's source is "Year One". This a comedy with Jack Black about two hunters who get kicked out of their village and run into biblical characters, and other well known historical figures, however the timeline makes zero sense. Meaning even historical movies get it WRONG. ""There are also many drama's and news shows. "Yes. And there is no denying that they are quite educative and entertaining. "I deny they are educative and entertaining. So this is wrong. Unsourced. Biased. And shouldn't be a part of this debate as it lacks any credible information. -Pro has disregarded my argument that facing a problem is better than putting off a problem. Relaxing because of TV due to a busy or hard day is putting off the problem. Pro did not argue my point, simply stated again "TV can help you relax. "-Pro has quoted information about how families bond over TV, but did not source this. This is either made up material, or plagiarism. -I have provided sources for my health detriments of watching TV. Therefore Pro's request for me to provide facts have already been done prior to it. -There are many other ways to relax other than watching TV, other even more productive things such as yoga. -Quiz shows do not educate people. If anything, people take a few fun facts. But they do not teach pople how to solve problems. -I agree News channels can be informative. However the health risks outweigh these benefits. Pro has not sufficiently argued that the benefits outweigh the health risks of watching TV which I have posted last round. Very few parts of Pro's arguments were not sourced, therefore anything that seems to sound factual cannot be considered in this debate.
