Description
Full resolution: On balance, most Human beings can be said to be an immoral agent, or unable to meet a "moral" standard. We will debate what is moral and immoral, and if the Human Being can be said to be Immoral in most cases.
Con must argue that most human beings are "Good", and establish some standard for being "good".
He is true
I'd take this debate.
I guess we’ll have to see
The notion that one can observe and inform on the moral values of "most humans." And this would necessitate a majority since you are arguing "most." Even if you reference a study or studies, there's no sample size that can accurately represent 7.9 billion people, about four billion of which you'd have to prove are "evil." If by "on balance" you intend to shrink the scope of your analysis and affirmation, then your conclusions will be severely degraded since they will likely rely on unsubstantiated ecological inferences.
Define Evil and most
Most humans are not good either.
This is so easy. Anyone could win as Con.
Can you be more specific about what "absurdity" means?
The Bible doesn't say or teach most are evil.
I would've accepted if the time allotted for submitting one's argument was fewer than two weeks, and the scope of the argument's resolution didn't allow for absurdity. There's no way either side will be able to substantiate either conclusion, even if it's "on balance."
I would take this if wasn't required to argue most are good. My position would be neutral which is correct.

This is confirmed by the Bible. Most humans are evil.
If you make it Rated, I'll accept.
