When a society makes porn a taboo that is strictly 18+ (or 21+ in some nations if not totally illegal and censored) and tells people to completely fight against their very natural urges, the result is them acting on those urges in very unhealthy, repressed and overly active-in-burst ways. Always has been, always will be. Ironically, this is how we went from a few hundred humans to the ~7.5 billion we have today.
If we wish to teach people to reproduce less, we must be very open and accepting of what sexual urges are and how to safely get the orgasm without unsafe penetration or anything that even approaches encouraging such ignorance.
Retaliate by brutally overthrowing the government via worldwide allied invasion. Not one single nation will forgive China for what it did and PLENTY of its neighbours are only allied to it via coercion.
The EU and Middle East would join 100%, Africa and South America would stay out of it with perhaps North Africa helping via arms. Australasia and India would absolutely assist.
All-male environments, especially when it comes to teens and young adults, are highly toxic. Testosterone makes them cruel to each other and dog-eat-dog. Females are very necessary to act as neutralising agents. It is not that the average male is superbly more toxic than the average female, it's more that the general average snowballs towards aggression and competitiveness with no mercy on anyone.
All-female schools are actually beneficial to females and often the bullying is done to a lesser extent than is seen in mixed schools where females are picking on each other.
So, for females the answer is probably not but it's been proven that in ALL cultures, all-male schools emotionally scar and brutally 'toughen up' the males involved and they often have PTSD symptoms deep into adulthood, guys need females to soothe the environment and distract the testosterone fuelled jocks.
This is a subtle teaching that isn't directly taught, in Sun Tzu's art of war. It refers to the idea that if you can do more with less effort AND resources to ALWAYS do so. The balance of effort vs resources isn't directly taught though.
Chidi is actually the only one of the four who didn't have a bad life, he merely had crippling anxiety. The others had very sad lives with a lot stacked against them.
It is not based on Christianity, it explicitly states so at several points in the series. Any human would envy his/her/their sister in her shoes, she had emotionally abusive parents who had a favourite child, it is impossible to require her not to be jealous of her sociopathic, favoured sister and to then call your judgement system a valid one.
It isn't just that, her entire nature is is extremely empathetic and giving, I actually was a bit perplexed when it turned out to be the bad place because I was like wtf did Tahani do so wrong and the answer made no sense to me.
Janet isn't a human. Tahani is a better person than Chidi, Chidi just 'tries to be' more good than most. If you want, I'll make a debate about Tahani vs Chidi.
It is their own nations that treat them like zoo animals, the tourists are often the only ones generous enough to give to the beggar and overpay for accomodation and souvenirs etc.
As I said, I already knew the Pro case will be heavily subjective and I'm not undermining the truth in it, in terms of that slum tourism gives incentive for the nation to keep the slums as they are.
As for the nation being ashamed of their ghettos, favelas and slums... That's a plus in my eyes. They should be ashamed of what they do to their vulnerable.
Other than the risk of tourists getting mugged and ripped off, I don't see the grounds to be against Slum Tourism. If anything, for many of those places, tourism is beneficial as it both opens the eyes of foreigners to the suffering of the villagers and also is a huge source of their income.
I say this but I also think I understand where you will come from in this debate, arguing that it motivates the nations to keep the slums 'authentic'. I don't really see overall how Con can win so I'm not sure what I'll be fighting against if I were to accept but later on if noone accepts I may give it a try.
Even if I had posted my final Round, you are better at simplifying your rhyme scheme so that people easoer follow the flow and bop their head to your raps. This is an edge that, given that we are fairly equal in other ways, won you this battle beyond my forfeited Round. Well done, you are definitely a very good poet and/or rapper. I am proud to have rap battled you here. It was a true challenge.
You have stated very much other than common knowledge, you have helped Con so much so that he could plagiarise your work as an entire Round's worth of contentions.
That's an unwritten rule in all debates. It's like you as an audience member running up to an MMA fighter and pointing out a weakness in the enemy's defensive habits or offensively creative move sequence that the person would not otherwise have come up with.
I am aware I made 2 errors (not really errors but flip-around) of explaining why your 'ancient is best' backfires. I'll correct myself in the next Round but basically it is a futile point to even raise regardless of backfiring.
By the way, birds have many more exceptions than just the one mentioned there. Birds don't have XX vs XY they have it flipped. In birds, males are the identical chromosome and females are the opposite one. I'm letting you know this because it's a five-round debate and I saved comebacks and points for later. I want your attack on my 'masculine females in other species' to be fully equipped.
Lucid dreaming is nowhere near as fun as people think it is. You wake up tired and sad because you didn't properly sleep. I know this because I tried to do it for a while (train myself to ask 'is this real' etc) but while it does actually help and keeping a dream diary really does help you be more conscious during dreams, it is actually really suboptimal. Even if you can make it a nice and amazing dream, it's toxic to your rest.
It is indeed a complete and utter appeal to authority that you just made and indeed many psychiatrists can lose their job if it's revealed they advised any client/patient that gender is binary, that's the level of peer pressure involved currently. It's alright though, as the idea that gender is inextriably linked to genitalia is also flawed.
The masculinity and femininity of any individual is linked to hormones and brain structure. Even people who believe gender isn't binary often are ignorant and think it's linked to muscle mass and other such things.
Insulting the logical integrity of my username is hardly a good attack in this. It's ad hominem and red herring all at once.
I am aware of how my username can appear to be implausible, especially if one doesn't understand enough about how varied and futile the meaning of 'madness' is in the eyes of the norm.
We both disagree on which of the two of us is making a false equivalence/analogy which is why I accepted your other debate as I want to explain how it isn't transphobic to see genders as binary if you accept that sex isn't the same thing as gender (they are just correlated, not linked in a concrete manner).
Actually there is a lot of depth to what they say, which I will use in our other debate. As Seldiora says, it's not that someone being transgender is a problem, it's that they deny gender is there to justify needing to turn into the other one.
The source does go too far with the whole 'what is a feeling of gender' thing, since there is a felt gender they're denying but when it comes to the logic on which transgender base their transition, it's flawed if they deny that gender is real.
As a professional writer, you must know the difference between the word 'can' and 'probably will'. At the moment you will always win this debate as Pro due to the BoP being 'can'.
Digital vs analogue isn't the same as binary vs multi-polar.
I believe genders are real and inescapable but that a very masculine female should be allowed to refer to herself by pronouns he/they feel/s comfortable with. Same goes for feminine males. I'm not one to make fun of people.

Chidi is actually the only one of the four who didn't have a bad life, he merely had crippling anxiety. The others had very sad lives with a lot stacked against them.
Chidi is worthy of less pity than Tahani is, her life was sadder, her circumstances more unfair and her psyche more benevolent than his.
It is not based on Christianity, it explicitly states so at several points in the series.

Pretty sure this debate will interest you.
France only joined BRI out of an urge to trade with China.
There was nothing more to say, just retireration. I had to do stuff IRL and sleep.

I meant in my Round 1.

Please stay out of this, it is two debaters battling not 2v1
Young or not, this debate presumes universe, when really we can be on a simulated flat earth with outer space being illusory.
You have stated very much other than common knowledge, you have helped Con so much so that he could plagiarise your work as an entire Round's worth of contentions.

This will be semantic, I won't help him win but I will let you and him know that he has to focus on semantics in order to even have a chance.
Many paths to victory for both sides here, I look forward to it.

Anyway I don't care. We must learn to lose in order to relish as we win.

It's not FF you can vote conduct though
His entire argument is copy paste. He committed full on plagiarism.

I'll reply to that in our debate. I'm sorry if I have aggravated you.
other than testosterone and oestrogen, which is the third hormone that creates a third gender variation?

Indeed, there is also lukewarm and fairly-hot on the temperature scale but only 2 poles towards which it can be directed.

Hypnotise the opponent, make them not want to win.
This is the true mastery of the art of war.

Alex Jones was but that's a rare case.
A random conspiracy theorist is a news provider via his/her website and/or radio station/tv-program. Are you including amateurs?

This debate may interest you, Round 3 has the juicy part.
The debate said 'beneficial'
I look forward to you arming me with arguments and information to use against you in our other debate.
I'll do the teenagers and social media later on, that will be a very research-demanding one but I am passionately Con on the topic.
Name them
Do you see what I do with these moves of intentional forfeiture? I never let my enemy control the situation.
He enjoys losing, genuinely. It's just fun for him let him be.
