Gender Neutral Pronouns

Although my opponent failed to properly write his very first sentences, his claim is as follows: "Gender neutral pronouns are a stupid concept."This is perhaps the easiest claim to refute I've ever seen. My stance is naturally the opposite: "Gender neutral pronouns are inherently valuable to our language," and I will demonstrate why clearly so that there is no room left for doubt.First, let's take a look at a few of English's gender neutral pronouns (i.e., pronouns that do not inherently state the gender or biological sex of the nouns to which they refer):1. I2. me3. you4. they5. we6. us7. who8. whom9. whoever10. whomever11. it12. them13. myself14. this15. these16. those17. our18. their19. its20. your...and the list goes on and on. Surely we can find value in the usefulness of all these pronouns.If pronouns such as "I" and "me" are inherently stupid, what is the better alternative? Should we have two separate singular first-person pronouns, one for males and one for females? But why? When "I" or "me" is spoken, the person to which they refer is immediately obvious. There is only ever one possible culprit. To double the number of pronouns belonging in this category would be pointless.Even Spanish, which has two separate words for "they" (one for a group of all females, "ellas," and one for a group of people which contains at least one male, "ellos"), has only one singular first-person pronoun: "yo."Gender neutral pronouns are also helpful when their subjects literally have no gender. For example, one could say "I don't like baseball. I find it boring." The sport of baseball has no gender or biological sex, so we use "it."In fact, all of these pronouns are so useful, let the record show that my opponent couldn't even state his argument without using TWO gender neutral pronouns ("who" and "your")! His claim was so silly, he swiftly and unwittingly refuted it himself.Finally, I will briefly address my opponent's statement that people who identify as having no gender are mentally ill. This is entirely irrelevant to the debate at hand. Even if that were true, it would not debunk the usefulness of gender neutral pronouns, which I have clearly demonstrated (and so has my opponent by using them himself).
Genesis 2 is a continuation of Genesis 1 and doesn't contradict it.

1- No repetitions in Genesis ! Genesis one of the five books of the tanakh, it containsan account from the creation of the universe to the days of Moses – peace beupon him- and has no repetition of stories, if a story is told in then thereneed to be a mention of it later, than there is a furtive mention without acomplete recount, and this is true for all Genesis so why would the creationaccount be recounted right after is was counted ?!! 2- One original author! When some theologians claim Genesis had more than oneauthor, this doesn’t necessarily mean there are contradictions within Genesis,and it is established traditionally that the original author of Genesis isMoses, who wrote the scripture himself, and gave it to the twelve tribes ofIsrael . the modern http://en.wikipedia.org...; 3- Translations of the bible are not meant to besubstitutes to the original scriptures in Hebrew. In fact, the scriptures are revealed , but the translationsare not, therefore they cannot, in anyway, take the place of the originalscripture as revealed, especially that the translators often translatedcritical verses according to one interpretation, when the original language canendorse more than one interpretation! 4- Unexplained obsession?! My opponent is repeating again his overly twistedinterpretation of the verses of Genesis 1-2, and wants Genesis 2/4-9 to be anew account of the creation by force, He isn’t even able to recognise thatthere is no way that any author or authors that would recount the same story ina totally different way and goal, right after finishing the story ?! Moreover,just because there is the mention of something that was talked about before,doesn’t make it a new account of the same thing, but rather some precisionadded or eventually the continuation of the story. 5- Genesis 2: 4 Is not an introduction, but a closing verse to theaccount of creation of the universe. 6- Plants, Animals , Man Nothing in Genesis 1 says that those were fully created,there is detail on what diverse things were created, but it never says : theywere then existing and alive. But my opponent and his twisted assumptions make himread what is not written! 7- Eden My opponent insist that the Garden ofEden is on earth , and he defends it by saying that whence God sent Adam forthfrom the garden, he caused Cherubims armed with a flaming sword to guard it.But that God did doesn’t in anyway mean people can access to it if they want,God did that out of Anger, to make Adam know he will never go back again untilhe dies. Eden is in Heaven, it is not the groundfrom where Adam was made, and he was made from the ground of earth. In conclusion, My opponent didn’t make any strongargument except twisted assumptions to validate his claims, and his ignoranceof the original language make his understanding even weaker.
Genesis 2 is a continuation of Genesis 1 and doesn't contradict it.

2 And on the seventh day God ended his workwhich he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his workwhich he had made. -The first word : 'thus', is aclear indication that Genesis 2 is not independent of Genesis 1. -The mention of the seventh day in Genesis 2 after the account ofthe previous 6 days in Genesis 1 is another indication that Genesis 2is nothing but a continuation. -The work god had made is nothing but the creation that took place the 6previous days. mentioend in Genesis 1. CONCLUSION 1: Those who pretend that Genesis 2 is independentof Genesis one and is recounting the story of creation, are presumptuous thatspeak out of ignorance and out of context.2-Genesis 2 does not contradict Genesis 1 in anyway: - Creation: in Genesis 1 refers to creation of the seeds for the plantsand Genes or kinds (or whatever is specific to each creature) forthe rest of living creatures that are not yet living. In Genesis 2 it refers toshaping coming into life, growing according to what type of creation itis. So that is one more step in creation. -Waters: Genesis 1 describes the separation between thewaters of heavens and waters of earth first, then the appearance of dryland in the middle of waters, and in Genesis 2 the first rain, when thePlant seeds were created but not yet alive. -Man: in Genesis 1 is created as a kind but not yet living, inGenesis 2 is shaped and come to existence. -Eden : not located on earth but in heavens (paradise) andcontains the tree that doesn't exist on earth and its water is the source ofearths water. CONCLUSION 2 : There are no contradictions between Genesis 1and 2 if one is enough good at interpreting them honestly. I ,now, expect CON to make his arguments to support his position : that Genesis 2 is a new account of the creation that was already told in Genesis 1 ! ! then rebuttals will be from round 3.
Go naked and don't wear animal skins

First of all, I've already explained that I don't believe that animals have rights. My opponent hasn't challenged this ideology; she merely told us about baby seals being skinned in China. Nevertheless, this does not address my point that just because one might wear animal skins doesn't mean that the animals were tortured in the process or killed unnecessarily. Now, I didn't see anything specifically related to Pro's points in her provided links (one article was about cloning...). Regardless, none of what she said about people getting naked to protest had to do with her original argument or the resolution at hand. Please extend my arguments from the previous round, as Pro did not address them.
Go naked and don't wear animal skins

most animals at places were they skin animals are killed or skinned alive for their fur or skins. Fashion in china pretty much kill baby seals of their skin. also their are animal rights and laws saying that slaughter houses should be in humane condition. and that you are not aloud to animal test. most people do protest by taking off all their clothes and walking around in the nude. http://www.peta.org... < they talk about animal right on the bottom left hand corner. http://www.peta.org... < they talk about the animals conditions in wool and leather and pictures of sheep mostly crammed together.
Go naked and don't wear animal skins

My opponent's entire argument is irrelevant to the resolution. As such, I simply have to prove why you shouldn't go naked (in public) or why it would be acceptable to wear animal skins. My case is as follows: A majority of the people agree with the current nudity laws. Those who disagree are able to be nude in designated areas, so they still have the right to be as naked as they please where the vast majority would not deem it offensive. Additionally, just because one might wear animal skins doesn't mean that the animals were tortured in the process or killed unnecessarily. Further, I'd argue that animals don't have rights anyway. So, thus far I've felt that I have successfully negated the resolution. Let's see what Pro has to say.
Go naked and don't wear animal skins

Personally I would go naked and not wear animal skins because there is a bunch of other fabric out there and why should you have to wear animal skins? wild animals don't belong in cages like at the big top they should be free every body going vegan can also be better for this world but if you do have to kill animals it should be done humane and in a save and healthy environment that has not to do with with beating

Zendaya is the best celebrity

Rebuttals: Your argument is completely irrelevant. In your entire 2 round entry, you showed the biography of this terrible celebrity, Zendaya. You have no arguments supporting that Zendaya is the best celebrity. You have also not addressed my previous points. To add on, you simply copy pasted from your last argument with the same topic. The other debate is entitled "Zendaya is the best celeb." [1] You have no valid arguments, and no rebuttals. In addition, you copy pasted form the source you used. Ever heard of plagiarism, or quotation marks? Arguments: As I said earlier, there are many much better celebrities. Last round I have explained how Beethoven, Malala Yousafzai and Martin Luther King are much better celebrities than Zendaya. They have all made a change in the world, something Zendaya has never acomplished. She has only been in a TV show, an a dance competition that she didn't even win. How could she possibly be the best celebrity? She wasn't even nominated in any important award shows that give people awards for things such as acting, singing and dancing. With all this proof, i can conclude that Zendaya is indeed not the best celebrity. If anything, she is one of the worst. 1.http://www.debate.org...
