Description

I will argue in this debate that pimping is hard. It's not as easy as some people make it out to be. My opponent must argue that pimping is easy.

Reason:

I found this here debate about farming tools when searching for the word "hoe" at the library a couple towns over.
I cannot help but feel both sides went off topic with their big city slang; but at least they respect their heritage, by using the word Pimpf from the fatherland.

To do the work of a Pimpf may or may not be easy, but the need to trick young ladies into hoeing the farm for you, in it and of itself suggests that work might be hard. Or maybe they're looking for a future wife who knows the meaning of a days labor, since hoeing is much harder for the fairer sex.

On the other hand, the man who called it hard got drafted by Uncle Sam, and Uncle Sam wouldn't do that if the work on his farm was too much for his family...

---

Jokes aside, conduct for forfeiture. Leaving arguments tied due to how unclear it is with the on balance issue but also with career pimps being shown to be unintelligent via their own words, while at the same time they have some natural talent... Some analysis of risk to reward could have tipped this.

Reason:

CON used a source, whom he claims is an actual pimp. But PRO takes the argument point. It just sounds common sense that you can be a pimp without much skill, if you have that status and luck.
