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

My computer keeps freaking out so I will make this short and simple. 7 billion people die out of mere indecision? You have basically WHAT IF they choose wrong and we all die. It doesn't matter who gets chosen or why because it still gives our race a chance to endure and run on. I had a quote on this I will show it again: "When you are going through hell, keep going." -Sir Winston Churchill SO my opponents argument is let's kill our whole race and not even try, because we MIGHT mess up. Well yes I concede we MIGHT mess up. But in your argument WE WILL all die and our race WILL die off. So my opponent says let's end the human race because we might mess up. NEVER GIVE UP! "Fall seven times, stand up eight." Japanese Proverb SO even if we fall and fail 7 times, never give up just because we might mess up, stand up eight and keep going. "Only those who dare to fail greatly can achieve greatly." Robert F Kennedy Yeah this goes right into this argument, let's say all of the mess ups you say happen, but we can still push on. Wanna achieve? Then get ready to fail. more quotes here: http://www.searchquotes.com... sorry can't resist this quote destroys your argument: "You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water." Rabindranath Tagore Think about read it it destroys the arguments you have made. OK now defend my arguments. defense of C1: Yes it is logical and morale. It let's our race push on and it saves a few lives. Is it not morale to save a few lives out of many? Is it not moral to save as many lives possible? I do not see how in anyway saving no one like you say is more moral then saving a few. It just doesn't make sense. Defense of C2: If this was a real life situation all of that could be checked: interviews interviewees with family and friends IQ tests reseme back round checks C3: Sees would work, seen the movie doctor strangelove? They said they could plant seeds under ground. Also the US had bunkers that the goverment would be able to stay in for 50 years IF nuclear fallout occurred, if they can do that then then this super bunker could too. They also have invented lights that act as a sun "Supplementary electric lighting is usually the easiest and least expensive way to provide enough light for plants that do not receive adequate natural light " http://extension.missouri.edu... defense of C4: NEVER GIVE UP! you just kill everyone and literally, drop the swords. Hope brings us though tough times, it did during the black plague, courage brought people to end the roman empire etc. Courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality. Aster and Richter Abend Hope is a waking dream. Aristotle, C5 Yahoo answers...ok It will be hard to find a better source. The Sahara Desert covers over 3.5 million square miles and has only 2.5 million inhabitants - roughly 1 person per square mile [1] nothing about being dead. The majority of the people living in the Sahara Desert are nomads, which means that these people continuously move from region to region in search of better living conditions. [1] So if they stay they die but if they keep moving they have a chance. For one thing, they never give up. His stress argument: So? Once again, kill 7 billion people, give up end the human race because we might fail? That is just absurd really though. Also it would be a honor to carry the human race, that wouldn't be stressful, but I see how they would have stress. But really? End the human race and life as we know if because we MIGHT fail? That is an odd argument. So to refute my opponents whole conclusion do to my rebuttals. http://library.thinkquest.org... [1]
