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.
