Debate: is life better today than it was in the early 1900's
Side: No

"Responding to a question with another question is not an answer - it is a dodge. I am not going to indulge you until you directly respond to my inquiries. This is a dishonest debating tactic and you should avoid it in the future. "being stubborn and aggressive is a dishonest debating tactic and you should avoid it in future.i will go with your demands and supply an answer as long as you finally get back to proper debating:I think that it was good that a full education was unattainable for most people"You can't understand that saying this does not make it true. because it is a subject on which I am authority, let's examine my life as a case study. If I were to live 100 years ago, my father would be dead"How would he have died?" and my sister would have miscarried her twins."at least we won't be over populated" I would probably never have had the opportunity to attend school at all,"No you would have just been taught the stuff you needed to know by your mother" as my family is not well off, and college would have been even more out of reach."then you could have gone out make friends and have fun like a real person "I would likely already be married,"Good now you got a life long meal ticket" a mother (quite possibly to a dead child),"Good, one less mouth to feed" and working a menial job to support my family."whats wrong with that, you'd be better off than the 2.03 million unemployed people (in the U.K)"I would not be allowed to vote and I would be considered an inferior being to my husband. "you would also have less responsibility to your husband.Too be fair I am male so all the sentimental feminine things you previously stated mean nothing to me.Also this is a large exaggeration of what actually happened.Everything you've previously said still happens they just don't tell you."As it is, my father is alive, my nieces are alive,"What a waste of resources "I am able to attend college full time,"Unlike the millions who won't be able to due to student fee rises(U.K)http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-11833545  " I have all the rights that my boyfriend has and I have much more freedom and flexibility with my career"I have nothing against rights and freedom apart from the fact that it attracts immigrants" and my future plans because I do not have any children thanks to birth control"Or you could just kill them when you forget to use a condom."I am going to take advantage of my opportunity to get an excellent education"An opportunity few countries get" travel overseas, "why is your own country that terrible"and study primatology and evolutionary psychology. "Good for you(I find it really funny how you assume this is what is going to happen as there are so many factors that could change your life)According to spell check "primotology" isn't a real word"I owe all these opportunities to modern developments in transportation, civil rights, science and technology in general. "Developments that allow people to create cleaner, faster and deadlier weapons.Science that allows company's to inject chemicals into our food to maximize profitsTechnology that repeatedly encourages the average citizen to stay at home and useTransportation that gives the government a longer arm of controlCivil rights that are a mask which the real government hides behind"My life is by no means unique. Every woman and every minority (in developed countries like US and Britain) is better off than they would have been 100 years ago purely by virtue of experiencing less institutionalized discrimination. "To be fair everyone got treated like they had rights (in Britain) but it just wasn't forced."Poor people have more government support"rewarding the lazy" and rich people have exponentially more money and luxuries"The increase of how much life costs" on which to spend their vast wealth."That will disappear when your country goes bust"Children die less,"They grow up not being happy that they are alive but believing that they won't die until they are 70." people live longer,"Modern day people use medication as a "get out of jail free" card meaning that they can smoke, drink and eat whatever and whenever they like.(i have repeated this because you didn't reply to it in your last argument even though you quoted it this is a dishonest debating tactic and shouldn't be used ever)" and we have more choices, comforts, and opportunities."the choice of which shop we go to is going downhill as giant conglomerates monopolies the world market.You must be one of the gullible fools who believe that you have a range of options" What people do with their freedoms may not always be ideal, but they are there."In the 1900's people had a good sense of morals and beliefs if a child did wrong the parent would punish them, now they side with their child against the law"If you want to live in the 1900s, thanks to modern technology, you someday can. Use the Internet to research a place that is 100 years behind the rest of the world, use an airplane to get there, and there you are. "modern day technology is a great thing, but what you can't get back was the attitudes and the way of life that had supported society."Babies do die in childbirth, but it is extremely rare in developed countries, and they are also much safer from disease in infancy and early childhood. Do not ignore this. Abortion and losing a child to a curable disease are different. "of course I know they're different:Abortion you don't want a baby so you just kill itDeath in childbirth if you couldn't afford the medication you probably couldn't afford the baby"While it's not good to be poor and I don't think anyone deserves it, the US currently takes better care of its poor than they did 100 years ago. Hitting me with an irrelevant insult does nothing to change this."Your country is a disgrace it took them 100 years to know how to take better care of its poor and they still have to pay for medication."Biological warfare - covered this. Don't support it, but medicine has done an enormous amount of good for the human race as well."Your U.S government like to keep the balance of world population for every U.S citizens life they've saved they've kill in another country"I support a citizens' right to bodily autonomy so the abortion debate is not going to work here either. "Your entire argument is not gong to work as it is your personal experience which nobody could prove and any other facts you have made haven't been supported at all, in fact you haven't quoted a single source in this whole debate.This is a dishonest debating tactic and you should avoid it in the future. "As for poverty - what shape do you think humanitarianism was in 100 years ago? How many people, percentage-wise, do you think were starving in Africa and other countries 100 years ago, when the quality of life was hugely lower even in developed countries like the US and Britain? Think about the aid that is offered to countries today - inadequate, clearly, but substantial - both in the form of raw goods like food, and sustainable efforts like permanent sources of clean water and education about farming techniques and family planning. Imagine how impossible such efforts would have been a century ago."In the 1900s every country in the world had its ups and downs equallyIn todays world the U.S is the best in everything and loves to tell everyone that that's how it is.
