And that is why you get the comments that you do. New ideas brought in the mix of things and then you say it is the stupidest comment of the 21st Century. I don't believe it is, in fact it may be very relevant, but then again, may not be at all. What is dumb is your belief that reparations can, and will be paid. They just won't because of all of the reasons your opponent said, and your rebuttals were utter nonsense. Every analogy, was way off base. Even if I believed that reparations could happen, I would still vote against you with your arguments.
Can anyone prove that black people's lives would be better now than if there were no slave trade at all? Would most still be in the 3rd world Africa that you all describe below? Is that an argument to be had? Were they better off slaves in America than slaves in Africa might be something to be considered. I don't think it was their choice to come to America to have a better life, they were owned by someone there, then sold and shipped away. I think they have a better life now than they would have had they stayed where ever they came from. Not something that can be proven though, but worth throwing out there.
This actually explains the left and right political ideologies very well. It is surprising how similar science fiction/fantasy is to real life. Although, Disney would not agree with this assessment, believe it or not, but the Sith are the left and the Jedi are the right. Unfortunately, they purchased the rights to SW after it was a hit and there is no going back.
It is not good to go off emotion, because you cannot weigh the consequences of your actions, think clearly, cognitively, or critically.
That is why jurors who have some sort of emotional attachment to the plaintiff or the defendant are never selected.
