Debating Values and Criterion

Military conscription is unjust
Value: Justice
Value Criterion : Justice is way of life. With justice people would run around doing whatever they wanted not caring who is being attacked.
Daphney: justice is fairness. We fought for hundreds of years for fairness and equality for all. So why should we not want fairness to all countries/states.
Attack: Yes. But not all justice is fair. Even though we have fought for hundreds of years for fairness and equality we still do not have it.

Agrument Packet

Pro
I think that gay people should have the right to get married. They are the same as everyone else. If everyone has the right to get married then why can’t people. Its not like they are hurting anybody. They are people not animals. So they should have that right.
Its not fair that heterosexuals couples can get money. But gay people don’t get money. They are citizen and gay should have a right to have happiness. If they have are living together and have been together for along the just as a heterosexual couple they can get many.

Con
Gay marriage can be a bad influence on kids. If a little girl sees or hears about a women and a women, a man and a man, getting married then they are going think that it’s okay to have feels for a woman as they can for a man.
In the bible, Leviticus 18:22, it says homosexual acts are an abdominal so it’s basically says if gay people get many. It’s an abomination to gay sometimes guys can catch STD’s from another guy and that can spiead.

Defensive refutations & Offensive responses

Raising empirical objects: messing around with the truth
Weighting arguments: seeing which argument has the most value
Logical fallacies: logically characterize an invalid argument
Causation/ cooritain fallacy: casual relationship between conduct and result using the random invalid arguments

Begging the question: stating a position that needs to be proved as if it had already been proved
The false dilemma: a fake problem or not true situation

CNN Student News- Washington Memonment

1.) In August there was a earthquake that shook the east coast. As a result the Washington Monument, in Washington D.C, was left with cracks in it. Durning the earthquake a parker ranger helped guide people out of the building and went back to help more. The Washington Monument stands at 550 ft. tall. A team of enigneers are working to repeare the cracks.

2.) I feel that it is very imperative that the cracks on the Monument get fixed. This buliding means alot to Americans. If this building were to fall it would be devasting. I hope they can fix the cracks and see if there is a why to get the building to hold against an earthquake.

3.) I will continue to watch to see if the cracks in the Washington Monument get fixed.

Burger King. Unlike McDonalds Burger King food does contain cellouse or wood pulp. The Whooper contains 640 calories, 39 grams of fat, and 51 grams of crabs.
