Debate: Is School (High School/College) Really Worth It?
Side: Yes It Is

You have not yet given one reason in that why high school isn't worth it. Of course it's boring at points and tedious, but think about long run. "I dropped out because I didn't care" isn't really that valid of a reason. If everyone did that, economy would be horrible. It would help if you gave a factual reason for your side for me and others to understand more than you didn't care about your dropout and school.

Debate: Is Slaughtering Ants Justifiable?
Side: Yes, kill them all!

but I don't like the idea of them staying alive.I lol'd.And it's true, we have a primal urge to eliminate things that seem weak and pointless. It's the merits of natural selection speaking to us through a blood thirsty portion of our brain.Ants are plentiful. And they get in our food and bother us. Even if it's being harmless, they're part of a collective of things called bugs. Annoying little saps that, sure, are harmless, but who cares? They hardly have the capacity for thoughts and emotions like we do, so it would be retarded to actually empathize with the poor bastards. They're practically mindless drones who are enslaved by a queen. If you really want to empathize, imagine yourself freeing them.
Debate: Is Slaughtering Ants Justifiable?
Side: No, it is immoral

Now see here, it may be a primitive urge but "primitive" is the main point. Aren't us humans meant to be better than how we use to be? As for them being useless, remove ants and the world would be a dirtier place. They help keep other bugs in check, clean up dead possibly diseased animals, air the soil and are necessary to several other Eco systems as food. How do you know they have know thoughts or feelings by the way? Have you ever been a ant? They have a complicated hierarchy and use a way harder form of speech than us as well as being stronger and more robust than us. As for mindless drones who serve the queen, have you even watched ants working??? They may serve but they are not mindless. Anyway humans can be labeled exactly like the way you label ants so don't squish the little guy because one day a bigger guy may squish you for being "inferior".
Debate: Is Slaughtering Ants Justifiable?
Side: Yes, kill them all!

Primitive is the main point. Aren't us humans meant to be better than how we used to be?We have evolved to become better and this is a primitive urge that has sustained. You imply that killing ants makes you a worse person, but that is not the case. How do you know they have no thoughts or feeling?Ants' brains are not large enough or sophisticated enough to comprise thoughts or feelings. They have just primitive instincts, something I think (from what I have seen) you are against (meant to be better than that).They have a complicated hierarchySo do we; welcome to modern politics. Stronger ... than usWe have evolved to be mentally strong and we are much more mentally powerful than an ant. Have you watched ants workingYes, and there's my proof that they are mindless. The ones I saw stumbled around aimlessly and every now and then fell off structures. Humans can be labelled exactly like the way you label antsHow? We're stronger, more powerful, more intelligent, and more of us are individuals (for every individual there are 1.4 million ants). We're the dominant race, not ants.
Debate: Is Slaughtering Ants Justifiable?
Side: Yes, kill them all!

dude, who doesn't love killing ants? i personally look for ant holes.
Debate: Is Slaughtering Ants Justifiable?
Side: Yes, kill them all!

According to some, there are 1.4 million ants on this planet for every human. I doubt many of us will kill the number we need to kill to annihilate the species, so I see little problem with killing them. They are insects, replaceable in the greater scheme of things. Sure, some have probably changed the path of history (such as a bullet ant biting somebody who would otherwise have done something remarkable had he not been in such great of pain for 24 hours) in some way or another, but, well, they're ants!
Debate: Is Slaughtering Ants Justifiable?
Side: Yes, kill them all!

Seven billion people on this planet, that means seven billion multiplied by 1.4 million to get the total amount of ants. That's so many my calculator has run out of digits. They are replaceable, and they have not evolved to comprehend anything worthwhile. We decide their fate, and even if we did decide to execute them, would we really have an effect on the entire total? No.
Debate: Is Slaughtering Ants Justifiable?
Side: Yes, kill them all!

Oh c'mon who cares? Really their life matter so much to everyone? We're human..let's kill 'em all...
Debate: Is Slaughtering Ants Justifiable?
Side: Yes, kill them all!

We had our own debate which ended in someone else falling into the fray of ants LMAO!Well, if by "kill them all" you mean all of them in the area of your school, then I see no problem with that... but I wouldn't want to see them become extinct.
Debate: Is Slaughtering Ants Justifiable?
Side: Yes, kill them all!

I would love to see them become extinct - at least the areas I live in. The areas with people who are annoying, well, that's another matter.
Debate: Is Slaughtering Ants Justifiable?

ants are evil demons trying to take over the world , they creep in when you are not looking and are so scary. I do freak out a little bit when I see them, especially when they start to fly. aaaaagggggghhhhhhh kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill killkill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill

Well them being concious and capable of feeling will have a large part to do with this question. its really hard to know if ants do have feelings and conciousness or not, as some believe they do not, while others in fact do. Now I personally think they may not feel them as much as us, and what the most convincing part of them possibly not being concious is there simplicity combined with the fact that we have never seen them act conciously or shown it to us. they all act as one, like each individual one is a machine or some sort. Ask yourselfs this what are signs that humans are concious and capable of feelings? how do you identify happiness in people, and can you identify that in ants? happiness is usually a type of satisfaction or positive feeling in our emotions, obviously humans feel happiness, what about ants? obviously something positive happens with collecting food for the queen, making their home, and just surviving, but is that all instinct or emotions?It also depends on if ants have the same brain chemicals that allow us to feel emotions but i am not educated on such a matter. like I said i like to believe that ants do feel, as they are living creatures, but somehow i think we have a deeper concious ourselves. Now back to the question is it justifiable to slaughter ants? well the question itself is a little flawed cause its justifiable to slaughter anything if its in self defense, but obviously you are talking about slaughtering ants for the hell of it. I honestly don't think its that big of a deal as the ant itself might not even care all that much, but then again an ant will try to fight to stay alive but is that all instinct, or actual emotionall response yet again? Should we care if they barely care at all about our own survival? in any case i think its perfectly natural to not feel guilty about that sort of thing as ants don't portray any strong signs of feeling to us. But this makes me wonder, it is coincidentall that a lot of things we question to be capable of feeling as they don't seem, it seem to be insects when on the same level of the ant, so it it that such a small creature noggin simply couldn't hold a complex mind enough to have the same conciousness we do? it may sound a little silly but may size be a variable in how strong of a conciousness a creature has, also it seems to me that we do feel a great more than most animals, why does it seem to us that we feel emotions on a much greater level than most animals? is it the intelligence that boosts our sensitivity to emotion? if so is it possible through being much bigger or much smarter or simply just more evolved that another creature somewhere in the universe be capable of emotions on a much greater level than us? is it possible that such a being could see us as nothing but ants? there capability to feel emotion and their conciousness being on such a level that our capability of emotion and conciousness are so little to them that they aren't even sure if we feel emotion or are concious at all and do not care because they are sure we can only feel them on such a small level?

Side: Yes, kill them all!

Ants are pests. Can any of you honestly say that if you could press a button and it would get rid of all the annoying infestations that we call ants disappear and not be relied on by anything you wouldn't? They bite! The invade! Not to mention so 40 to 50 people die in the US alone from falling in red ant hills!

I am an insect killer and one target of me are ants.every sunday i go down to kill red ants.
Debate: Is Slaughtering Ants Justifiable?
Side: Yes, kill them all!

Ants have little to no nervous system, and no individual conscience. Therefore there is no reason we should not kill them other than upsetting the balance of an ecosystem. It is no different to killing plants.
Debate: Is Slaughtering Ants Justifiable?
Side: Yes, kill them all!

I don't like them ants. They can be annoying and they are difficult to kill. In response to the argument that they have done nothing to me, I can say that due to the fact they can and will damage property and they additionally have the potential to damage or traumatise me, there is no reason why I shouldn't kill them. I did an Animals Rights debate a while ago and it shows that we, as humans define rights because they are defined by society. Therefore if I decide ants have no rights and I can slaughter them, then I can slaughter them.
Debate: Is Slaughtering Ants Justifiable?
Side: Yes, kill them all!

I mean, not all of them. They are necessary for eco systems.Understandably you don't want them around people. They carry diseases and bite.Enjoying the act as much as it sounds you did might be a little worrisome. Not too unusual for a young boy perhaps (I'm assuming your a young boy) but a bit worrisome. If you do not grow out of it or if you begin moving on to small pets, best to have yourself committed. I wouldn't worry too much about it at this point though.
Debate: Is Slaughtering Ants Justifiable?
Side: No, it is immoral

Carry diseases? Have you ever looked up ants? Look at this site, http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2246/are-ants-disease-carriers Or this one http://www.pestworldforkids.org/ants.html.  Yes some ants can carry diseases, the chances of them effecting you is smaller then the smallest ant;) As for biting, well how else would you defend your self if you had no arms and your legs weren't able to kick hmm?
Debate: Is Slaughtering Ants Justifiable?
Side: No, it is immoral

Ah, I stand corrrected on the disease part. Good to know :)They still trigger some primitive disgust mechanism inside me, and whether they feel they are defending themselves when they bite or not, I'd rather not have them around.

It doesn't matter what age you are, but if you move onto small pets then you have a problem.
Debate: Is Slaughtering Ants Justifiable?
Side: Yes, kill them all!

That's not true at all. Empathy isn't yet fully developed in children and to the degree it is it is mostly through immitation of what they see. They are small and cute, but also self-centered and naturally so. It's normal for them not to empathize with things smaller. Not growing out of that behavior as they age is a sign something may be wrong.
Debate: Is Slaughtering Ants Justifiable?
Side: No, it is immoral

"Empathy isn't fully developed in children"Around ten years of age you are considered to be aware and responsible of your actions, therefore your behaviour, and you are expected to be able to feel empathy - I don't think anyone on this debate is below ten years of age (please correct me if I am wrong). "It is mostly through imitation of what they see"For a start, imitation is spelt with one 'm'. I do not think it is because of that, though. People have evolved to be able to empathise with one another because that way we have a natural defence system to avert damage to ourselves. If I feel nothing after punching you, then I may not foresee you returning a blow, and I am therefore in danger. But if I feel empathy then I could recognise your upset and therefore would realise what has happened, or, ideally, not do it in the first place. Empathy is often stunted in some people because of their upbringings, and that is why some people who commit crimes do not feel any regret. "...Are also self-centered, and naturally so"I have met many young children who have been kind, unselfish, and, ultimately, not self-centered. "It's normal for them not to empathise with things smaller."Yes, it is a primitive urge of ours, as humans, to kill things that seem pointless to us - even as adults. "Not growing out of that behaviour as they age is a sign something may be wrong."No, it is not. As I said, as humans, regardless of our age, we have that primitive urge.

If they are a pest. Yes, thats the only way to get rid of them is killing them.
Debate: Is Slaughtering Ants Justifiable?
Side: Yes, kill them all!

I'm all forward for killing any type of bug. "Send in the army! Get weapons! There'll be no surviving enemy!" I'd say...but this is only if they're in my home. If they're outside then that's where they live and it's not nice to kill them in their own home. Think about if someone would come into your house and stump you to death that wouldn't be nice. But if you broke into someone's house they have the right to stump you for intruding...unless you invite them in...and I'm done...

Honestly, the strong look down upon the weak, regardless of morals. It's simply instinct. If you looked at a 5 year old kid, he wouldn't be scared of him correct? Well in a sense, that is looking down upon him. You are not respecting him as an equal. Slaughtering ants is not justifiable, but it doesn't matter.

well I mean they are living creature they should have the same rights as other animals, but they are so numerous that we couldn't kill them all, so go for it.Keep in mind though if one species goes extinct the affects of the rest of the world, all or large, will be definite.
