As Long as we Continue to Eat Meat, Beastiality should be Legalized!

Introduction: For the sake of this argument, I am going to assume that eating meat is indeed morally equivalent to bestiality (even though I don't believe this is necessarily true). I instead intend to argue that the eating of meat does not justify bestiality. My opponent make the following statements: "Millions of animals are tortured everyday at slaughter houses. Animals are kept in poor conditions; confined to small spaces; chickens have their beaks clipped when they are chicks because they poke each other to death; calves are pulled away from their mothers at a young age; animals are pumped with numerous antibiotics, hormones ,and drugs. All so that we can have that nice piece of meat for dinner." How awful. Though I find animals quite delicious and do not value their lives at all, I don't think they should be treated in such a horrible manner. However, this has nothing to do bestiality. "How can society condone this type of cruelty towards animals but condemn [sic] beastiality, it doesn't make any sense. Either both should be illegal, or neither." No. Just because we eat animals does not mean we should have sex with them. Nothing about the fact that we eat animals implies that we should have sex with them except for that fact that both can be considered cruel. However, just because one thing we do is cruel does not mean we should do as many cruel things as possible. Is it a contradiction that society condones the slaughter of animals for food but condemns bestiality? Maybe, but that does not mean that one necessarily implies the other. That will be all for now.
As Long as we Continue to Eat Meat, Beastiality should be Legalized!

Should beastiality be legalized? My first initial response to this question was NO, definitely NO!!! But as I started pondering this question, I posed a new point, "Well we eat them." If beastiality is illegal doesn't that suggest that slaughtering animals should be illegal too. Millions of animals are tortured everyday at slaughter houses. Animals are kept in poor conditions; confined to small spaces; chickens have their beaks clipped when they are chicks because they poke each other to death; calves are pulled away from their mothers at a young age; animals are pumped with numerous antibiotics, hormones ,and drugs. All so that we can have that nice piece of meat for dinner. How can society condone this type of cruelty towards animals but condemn beastiality, it doesn't make any sense. Either both should be illegal, or neither.

Got this idea for a debate from a friend on this site. First round is acceptance. second through fifth rounds are posting lyrics. Voters will vote for the lyrics they liked the best for that round. Obviously the person with the most votes after round 5 is over wins. Can only post lyrics that are from the 90's era, meaning 1990-1999. Any artist, any genre. Post artist, song title, year that song came out, and website you got lyrics from. Do NOT post link to actual song. The purpose is to get our voters to actually read the lyrics and base their vote solely on the lyrics, not whether or not they enjoy the music for the song. Good luck to whom ever my competitor will be.
Maggie's a better debater than Trent

Sorry it took me so long to post back. busy weekend. In you're response, your augments are: 1) You can make up stuff. So what? We can all make up stuff. I could too. I don't though. I prepare you and myself for our debates. I do not make up stuff on the spot risking our potential win with crappy/false evidence. This makes you a better debater than I? No. Just unprepared. This shows the lack of quality you have as a debater. 2)You haven't been in debate as long and you have lower scores. Time doesn't hold any factor. The topic is "Maggie's a better debater than Trent." Yes, I've been in debate longer. You knew that was a factor when accepting the debate. Even so, I hold the higher scores making me a better debater. The over all scores come from judging scores, which I hold higher in anyway. You know that. Despite my over all scores, if we focus on the scores from our debates together, you have yet to hold a higher speaker score than me. The debates we win, I always have the higher score out of the four speakers. I know you'll argue you're in a close second, but not close enough to beat me. 3)You have confidence. Who's to say I don't have more confidence than you? After all, I am the one who challenged you to this debate that I'm a better debater. I must of had the confidence to ask you to this. Sure, I'll grant you do have confidence. But more than me? I will just argue I have more. Not a strong argument on you're part. I could provide evidence but it's your responsibility, seeing as how you brought up the argument.* You have received the comment twice that you're confident. The judges also make sure to note you seemed like you didn't care, or too cocky. Also, if you clam to be so confident, one who is so confident does not let someone frustrate them. In Grand crossfire, you hit me and told me not to shush you while I was speaking. Your confidence is not only questionable, (you confuse conceited with confidence)but false. *I'd like to add you've brought up no evidence throughout the whole debate. So I take it we will debate our word over evidence. 4) You're eye candy for the judges. This displays my point exactly. This right here. You can't come up with a decent, true argument without my help. Simple evaluation can show who the dominate, over all better debater is. Me.
Maggie's a better debater than Trent

While Maggie has a convincing argument (Not Really), i strongly disagree with her argument that she is a better debater then myself. Her two contentions were that she simply gets better scores then i do and actually creates the cases we argue. I would first like to point out that her scores are only better because I am newer to debate. She has been to a total of four tournaments compared to my two tournaments. I'm new in the game and am getting better at an exponential rate. Her second point about her creating the case only happened once out of the two times we have debated togther. In the debate in which she actually did write the case, i simply made one up on the spot. This takes a lot of talent and we did in fact win that debate. So, when observing the truth, we are equally matched debaters at the least. So in responce to Maggies sinful list of lies i state my three (not just 2) contentions. 1.) I make up a case on the spot, taking more talent then having one prepared 2.) i have been in debate a shorter amount of time and get a tad bit lower scores 3.) I show much more confidence wen debating, many judges have said so themselves P.S. I'm also better looking so i get extra points for being the judges eye candy ;)
Maggie's a better debater than Trent

I'm a better debater than you. For the past two tournaments we've had, I have done your case when It was your responsibility to come up with the other case out of the two (pro,con) This shows the responsibility I possess over you. I always maintain my cool, and never hit you like you hit me at the Rock bridge debate. This is part of being a good debater. I hold a higher score in NFL [1] I always hold the higher score out of the judging sheets. [2] I'm the better debater when it comes to work ethic, and public speaking. [1]https://www.nflonline.org... [2]https://www.nflonline.org... I've even brought up weak arguments, and I'll still win this debate. Proving I'm better. (ily trenttt:))
Are dress codes sexist

I am arguing in favor of the current dress code, but I'm willing to change my mind if I hear good arguments against the dress code. First off, school dress code promotes a more serious school atmosphere which emphasizes academics. Secondly, school dress codes can also save money, as there will be less pressure to keep up with expensive trends and fashions. Thirdly, school dress code reduces the prevalence of certain behaviors which are often expressed through wardrobe such as violence or promiscuity. Also in high school, it's a big issue and I encountered it, but I'll get to that in the second round
Are dress codes sexist

,Dress codes are mainly geared towards girls. Dress codes are unfair to girls""and underestimate boys' maturity. It suggests that school"s priority is to create an ideal learning environment for guys, while ignoring factors that may help girls learn. Boys should learn how to control themselves at a young age. The problem is not of girls dress and sometimes, but rarely, guys. Also, in a time where so many girls dislike the way they look, which is in middle or high school, schools should not enforce dress codes that practically shame the human body. The dress code is more distracting than clothes people wear without it. Sexualizing the shoulders and legs of teen and preteen girls is downright creepy, and the message that this ultimately sends to girls is: "If boys stare at you, it is your fault and you should feel ashamed for it. Also, it is your responsibility that the boys are not distracted - it's not like boys can control themselves or anything. Your body is inherently sexual. We don't care if your education is disrupted. It's the boys' education that matters".
Jews

let me close those argument for you, number one you base this whole emotional argument on secondary sources as the number of deaths was never recorded to the exact number, the fact that other individuals were not acknowledged or recorded means there would mean no account of the number of people that were killed, who knows they could amount to a greater percentage than the jews themselves, Im not arguing that the Jews lives were irrelevant my argument has been consistent that all lives are equally important and thus if we are going to debate the killing of jews, why are we ignoring the killing of Africans? who stands up for them ?
