In the united states, hate groups should be treated as terrorist organizations.

I'll just do a line-by-line of our arguements, and then end with a conclusion >>>>I also urge him to point out where I said terrorist attacks were motivated "Terrorism is the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion." COercian is defined as "to impose one's will on another by means of force or threats. Coercion may be accomplished through physical or psychological means"- u.s. legal dictionary Means is defined as "to have in mind as one's purpose or intention" Because my opponent stated that the use of terror were for the MEANS of COERCIAN, he concedes that AoT are motivated >>>>I would like to pose the question, how will it possibly make anything safer? By eliminating the pride that they get from being in the group, they are less likely to act on the impulses they have. They will be less likely to attack and taunt. >>>>If their kind are falling, then why bother waste taxpayer's money on a group that is no longer a great threat? I'd like to point out that my opponent insisted in round 1 that 80% of people are biased. Obviously this threat is now. And the money problem, i ask that you don't even weigh it. According to the 2010 Department of homeland security budget report, they had an excess of 10 million. They have the resources and capital. >>>>As well, increased spending has done almost nothing to prevent terroirsm on our soil, nor has it done anything on foreign soil I'd like to challenge my opponent to name a successful foreign attack on american soil since 9/11. The reason terror attacks have not gone down is because we have been allocating funds toward foreign terror, when the real threat is domestic terror. >>>>As far as I am concerned, from the examples my opponent has stated, the KKK has not been active for at least 13 (Calender) years First of all, the Joan Lefkow incident was not of the KKK it was of the neo-nazis of america. The Klan is not the only group in america. And my opponent is talking like this is a localizd problem, No, No matter who you are, somebody hates you and groups give them the ability to act on their hatred. Without the support of their brothers, they are nothing. >>>>We cannot stop terrorism- it will always be there. It will always be a factor, be it of our or others' citizens It is impossible to solve the entire world, but we have the moral obligation to solve whatever we can. If we can prevent the harrassment and murder of anyone, then we have done good. Dehumanization must be our number one priority otherwise, what is the point of living. >>>>One of the interesting things about terrorism is that the more you kill, the more they recruit. Did I ever mention killing them? no. I would like to disband them in order not to empower the racism within themseves. They cannot recruit if they cannot be legalized. >>>>we killed their relative Once again, there is no death proposition. >>>>terrorism you give up your life, hate groups you give up... Your soul. Dehumanization should be the only weighed impact, >>>>This, in effect, could quite possibly make more hate group members and strengthen them I took out the link, so this impact. Don't weigh this impact. It has no link to my propasal, because we don't actually kill them >>>> After all, terrorists still can't be tortured or harmed, and hate groups are easy to spy on anyways (wiretapping, infiltration, etc) Once again, this has no relevance, becasue we want to take out the groups, because they empower. He dropped his contradiction choice, and because he contradicts himself, you must weigh my definition of terror acts (The point of terrorism is to scare you.). And because of the historical reference of the groups, they have intilled fear, therefore they are terrorists. He dropped my point that this empowers them and pushes the racism to violent limits. Therefore, he concedes that eliminating the groups will solve for their actions. Impact calc- My opponent offers no real impact, therefore, perfer the impact of dehumanization. This impact is happening now, And If we help one person, then we have solved for alot. Also, I would like to use the biggest impact of all. The holocaust was the direct result of hate grups allowed to run amuck. I would perfer to not let another one of those happen, and By classifying them as terror organizations of terror, We prevent their future rise. This solves the impacts. I urge you to vote pro, and I thank my opponent for an awesome first debate. Resources http://www.dhs.gov...
