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

"Try not to get your feelings hurt when someone calls you out on your juvenile bullshit. You avoided answering a question, I told you not to do that because it's a shitty way to debate, and refused to indulge you until you had given a direct answer. Pretty simple. We can move on now. "Who said my feelings are hurt. You truly are an amazing mind reader with an impressive ability to discern unrelated assumptions from any fact presented! Try not to get your feelings hurt when someone gets fed up with your annoying stubbornness.I answer your question in a format you weren't expecting, You then started to moan that you couldn't understand that type of sentance and wanted it in a more simpler form.Pretty simple. We can move on now. "As for your question, I attended public school and it is far from perfect but thank god all children have the opportunity to attend it, and, if nothing else, learn basic literacy and math skills. "Basic skills their own parents are unable to teach them?"What are the advantages of education being unattainable for anyone? How is it beneficial for society in general to have less basically educated people in it? "I said a full education. If a father (e.g a butcher) taught his son his trade (e.g butching) then the son could take over the shop afterwards and earn an easy living."The medical technology that is used to treat his condition were not available 100 years ago." Once again you are not giving me the full picture. What is his condition? Is he an alcoholic? (if it is a mental condition which you might be ashamed to mention I won't press the matter any further)"I agree that population growth is a problem, but the alternative is not to encourage stillbirths via lack of medical care. Your hypocrisy is astounding; one moment you are lamenting the existence of abortion, the next you are promoting stillbirth and miscarriage as good things."there is a difference between death(miscarriage) and murder(abortion).The fact that abortion is legal in todays world isn't right."And what exactly would those things be? You are no authority on what people 'need to know', especially since you seem to set the bar extremely low, considering your apparent disdain for any education at all."How to cook, clean look after children and generally be a good housewife.You might also be taught basic mathematics(numbers) and literacy (the alphabet)"My mother is not a scientist of any caliber so I doubt she has much to teach me in my field of choice."The modern day person expects to get want they want, this disgusts me. why can't you just not get a job and become a housewife"How did you deduce that I have no friends and I do not enjoy my life, simply because I attend college? "Because you are on the internet daily talking to people you don't know."You truly are an amazing mind reader with an impressive ability to discern unrelated assumptions from any fact presented! "You assume I beleive I can read minds just because I can see a stereotype."I'd rather succeed on my own merits. Also, your statement assumes that we would not be living hand to mouth, with both of us having to work. Considering the economic strata my boyfriend and I were both born into, this is probably what would happen."If you could name any case in the early 1900s (preferably in Britain) where both husband and wife had to work I will happily take this as a valid point.to be continued.
