The End of the World (Cameronl35's R1 New Year's Tournament)

"The special bunker can only fit a limited number of people, 50 to be precise. What about the other 7 billion people on Earth? We must not forget them."Your case is all about the other 7 billion. I save 50, you save 0. So in all technicalities it ould be 6 billion 999 million etc I do nto feel like saying it. So I save 50, you 0. So my plan saves lives, a few, yours just diminishes them. "This is related to the previous argument, but it will be very difficult to choose 50 people. Which 50 people will be chosen? Who will do the choosing?"You never specified, othe countries may have the bunkers too. Sicne you never specified this is a shot in the dark as you cannot prove it and it is unnoficial to add rules in the middle of a debate. "The chooser will want to choose himself, his family, and his friends. "Maybe not, as some people value others over themsleves. And in this I must choose, this point is invalid as I am the chooser. "I know I already mentioned that the best 50 people will be chosen, the most skilled and strongest for the survival of the human race. However, we must also look at personality."You'll see my choices."Surely other government systems around the world would want to get in on this choosing, as it is not possible that the best people will all be from America."This is a fallacy, as the goverment will choose the best of the best when needing to save the human race, therefore any country could have someone selected. "There are more than 50 jobs that are vital to the survival of the human race. How would we decide which job is more important? Who would decide? But most importantly, how would this be decided fairly?"This can be done easily. You just keep narowing down what you need. Until you get an ESSENTIAL 50. Fairly will be deided as you woudl want the best when it coems to that."There is a simple answer. We cannot decide fairly. There are many different opinions on this matter, and once again, the chooser will be unable to decide who to side with. This is an unfair burden on the chooser."ex: jo shmo DO or Angelo Otero (my granpa) MD one of the first and considered one of the best arthroscopic knee surgeons. "Let's say that somehow these people are chosen fairly and successfully. After the end of the world, there will be no life. No plants, no animals,"If this was to happen the verment would obviously have seeds and livestock stored in the bunker. It's like you consider elected officials dumb, and it is the contrary. C1: COntnuation of the human raceYou need to contunue the human race as it is humane. The humans are the smartest beings on the planet, and letting them survuve is kinda given. You and I are humans and probably care for other humans, therefore it is logical we keep us in surivial. Your whole case is how this might wrong, your case garentees we ALL die, mine says our human race still has a chance. SO mine is humane. "When you are going through hell, keep going." -Sir Winston Churchill"More powerful than the will to win, is the courage to begin." -AnonymousC2: The 50here we go:1. The president2. the seceritary of state3. Ron paul (a doctor too)4. Burt Rutan best engineer5. My mom (teacher)6. Kaden (farmer)7. Winston D. (marine)8. Mr snyder (eagle scout)9. Jacqueline K. Barton (technological scientist)10. Peter J. Stang (biologist11. Richard A. Tapia (mathematics)12. Yvonne C. Brill (Rocket scienist)13. Dr. Ignatius Piazza, (owns frontsight firearms training insitute)14: Les Stroud (survivalist)15. Bear Grylls (surivalist)16. Ray Mears (survivialist)17. Tom Brown (survivialist)18. Glen adams (uncle oil CEO)19. Craig adams ( uncle, oil CEO, geologist) 20. Michelle obama (just another women we need, obama and here wilmake more kids, ew)21. Palin (she lives in alaska, has guns, is a woman, survivialist)etc I feel no need to keep going. C3: We could surviveAs I said the goverent is not dumb and would have had supplies, and seeds fo after they get out. This morning I received a call from a very prominent person in the storable food industry. He has asked me not to reveal his name. I have been dealing with him for an extended period of time and I consider him to be a rock-solid source. When I talked to him today, he had just received a huge order for storable food from a U.S. government source. He told me that the dollar amount of the order was in the "five figures". [1]So they are already doing it. Also we have gone through touh times already, famines, the great deppression, now, WW1 and 2. We can get through that, then we'll be alright. C4: Why not tryYour cae is let's not try as your way MIGHT fail, your way WILL fail as everyone will die and mine gives us a chance. A chance...hope. Humans fight for hope and life. We have done in many times, we will do it again. So really, why not try, no matter who goes or who choses or whatever, why not at least try. C5: The sahara desertYou say that there will be nothing left, this is the closest comparison on earth. Little lives there, little water, even after a apocolypse a solar flare wouldn't take away all of are water, just some of it. So people survive here, so why not when the world ends. Conclusion:My opponents case is all what if it doesnt work and what if it is unfair. So what? My way we actually have a chance to keep our great human race going. Vote pro as my opponent's case is let's give up, not even try, mine is lets go, and we might have a chance. Tough times never last, but tough people do. - Robert H Schuller.http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com... [1]
