If This House had a time machine it would kill Emily Bronte

"her writing of Wuthering Heights, which we consider to be nothing less than a crime against humanity" And murder is not? "This would save Bronte from a painful death:" "We would thus allow her a much more dignified death" How so? No one could think of a reason to kill her. Assuming the person does not get caught it would just remain a mystery why he killed her. On another note, a death of tuberculosis is not that bad it terms of dignity. She will be remembered as having a tough life and still being the author of a classic of American literature. Also, note that this would cut off her life 3 years early "There would be few negative effects" I would like to point out that even if Pro is right that we should kill Emily Bronte, his house should not be the one to do so simply because he has lied. Source? This quote of his "If we were to kill Emily Bronte before she had the chance to write Wuthering Heights the side effects would only be positive ones". This is not the same as "few negative effects". We could not just send a liar wandering back in time with a gun. He says he wishes to Emily Bronte but he could be lying and is really going to make sure Germany wins World War Two. Who is stop him from doing so? "Wuthering Heights would have never been written" Pro simply states his opinion on the book. "In essence, Wuthering Heights is the sort of incredibly damaging book that we should prevent from ever reaching the masses There are plenty of damaging things that kids are watching right now. Taking away this one book that not that many people read everyday would not make such a difference. Pro neglects to mention the contributions the book has given. If the book wasn't made, people who sold the book would lose out on that money they made. In addition, the two movies of Wuthering Heights would not have been made. One of the movies was nominated for the award of Tokyo Grand Prix. http://www.imdb.com... And the other one has won various awards. http://www.imdb.com... To summarize, without Wuthering Heights, those movies would not have been made and those movies provided entertainment and money for many. "Controversy at the time would have been avoided." My opponent forgets to state his source as he says in the comments. His house is not even responsible enough to state sources. Who says they can take on such a responsibility of killing Emily Bronte or just going back in time? What misery? People found it disgusting but you have not proved that vommiting occured. And you claim that there is misery now. This is simply an opinion. There are lots of people who liked it. "No student would ever have had to study Wutherin Heights" "Apart from the kid at the back of the class who likes to shoot things, no student has ever enjoyed analysing Wuthering Heights" Most kids don't even enjoy reading or analysing books nowadays. And so what should we still kill an innocent and kill the moveis that were made out of it? The rest of my opponent's paragraph is simply his opinion on why the book is bad. "we have demonstrated that Wuthering Heights has brought nothing but misery and shame to the world" You have lied again. My sources say otherwise. My arguments: Pro, you have not even proven that your house is qualified to carry out such an act. Who knows you won't just trip on the time machine and break it after you kill Emily Bronte? Then you will be stuck in 1845. Who is to say you won't end up killing someone else? Who is to say that someone won't take the gun away from you? Who is to say that someone else won't destroy the time machine?
