Life is fair

org. I'll start by explaining my own reasons as to why life isn't fair, then refuting the things she brought up. Why life isn't fair1. Billions of people have died in wars throughout mankind's history. Most of those are civilians, who weren't even fighting. 60 million people died in World War 2 (1). 2. Billions of people have died of disease. Common sense would lead us to believe that many of these were genuinely good people who didn't deserve to die. In 2006, over 55,000 young people were afflicted with cancer (2). 3. Hundreds of thousands of people are raped every year. This sets them up for emotional trauma later in life. In 1937, the Japanese seized the Chinese city of Nanking. Over the next few days, in what would become known as the Rape of Nanking, 200,000-300,000 innocent civilians were killed and 20,000-80,000 women and children were rapes, some as young as 6 (3).4. 1073 firefighters have died on the job this decade (4). Hundreds of thousands have been injured. In other words, people die trying to save other people's lives.5. Holocaust. Nuff said. While all this technically negates the resolution easily, I'm sure my opponent is looking for a more small-scale debate that talks about minor issues, rather than war crimes and genocide. So lets cover everyday life issues too.7. Many people work twice as hard and make half as much. Dishwashers make $22,000 a year busting their a$$es off cleaning dirty objects, while video game testers make $60,000 to sit down and play games all day (5, 6). This is just one example; we all know there's hundreds more. 8. The lazy, new guy who's been working for 6 months gets the promotion over the hard-working, 2 year vet because he knows the boss. 9. Auto-dealerships are known for taking cars in that people ask them to fix, breaking them, and making them worse so the customer has to spend more money to get it "fixed" again.10. Even though you only need 1 kidney and there are billions of people in the world, 67,000 people die of kidney failure every year because there aren't enough donors (7).11. Innocent people get thrown in prison. Guilty people get off on technicalities. If my opponent wants I can look up an individual example of any of these. After all, saying "6 million people died in the holocaust" doesn't create the same emotional response as detailing a 6 year old boy being taken from his mother and tortured for 7 days. My opponent's argumentsMy opponent talks a lot about how we all have "happiness level" that will generally remain constant throughout our lifetimes because we're always wanting more than what we have. Sure, I'll grant this. What does this have to do with life being fair? Saying that I will still want more even if I win the lottery doesn't change the fact that millions die of disease every year. In fact, this point would actually indicate that life isn't fair, because if we always want more no matter how much we have, we're essentially never able to become satisfied with our lives. That doesn't sound very "fair". "Fairness is our subjective claim and is not defined by us as an individual, but as a whole by our God. "Fairness is often not subjective. All of the 10 arguments I gave are, and under most moral systems, objectively wrong and unfair. If my opponent wants to argue that fairness is subjective, he must explain how 6 million innocent people dying in the holocaust can't be considered an objectively bad thing. Pro also says that the world is balanced with good and evil. Hmm. How many people have been killed in war again? But even more so, why should the world be "balanced" with good and evil? Why can't there be no evil? That seems like a much more viable alternative. Then Pro gives an example of a friend of her's who had everything you could possibly want, but was still depressed. That's actually proof that life is unfair because even people with everything can't appreciate it. I think my opponent might just be drawing the wrong conclusion from her arguments. I wish my opponent luck and await her response.1. . http://en.wikipedia.org...2. . http://www.nytimes.com...3. . http://en.wikipedia.org...4. . http://www.usfa.fema.gov...5. . http://www.indeed.com...6. . http://www.indeed.com...=7. . http://www.emedicinehealth.com...
