October 31st Questions

Monday: Let's review everything we have learned from LD debate: Take the following: Resolved: States ought not possess nuclear weapons.

1. Break it down
   This means that the United States should not let other countries including the U.S. posses nuclear wepons.
2. Make your own claims, warrants, and impacts.
   I believe our country should posses but not use nuclear wepons exept in the case of a dire emergency, but we should not tolerate other countrys who could be potentialy dangerous to the U.S. and its safty to inhabit these wepons. The safty of our country always come first and if other hostile or anit-american countrys seek to make or obtain these wepons they should be concidered a enemy of our country and the wepons should be taken and destroyed.
3. Find somebody who can attack your argument.
   If any country hold nuclear power, with how violent our world is today we are just asking for a nuclear war. No country should be able to have these wepons of mass destruction it will only be means for a third world war.
4. Respond to the attack and further extend your argument.
   Not all countrys would agree to simply get rid of there nuclear power, and with most countrys not being stable it would be a even bigger risk to throw away our own and leave our country deffense less.
5. Go to debate.org and paste the resolution into the search box - choose the very first debate that pops up and review the affirmative and negative claims (contentions), warrants, and impacts.

  Contentions- It is really necessary to spend that much on such a rare use of national security.
                     
In just the two occurrences stated above, unthinkable damage has been done.
                  
There is no proof that this method of war is effective in attaining world power or achieve 
a warfare goal.
Warrants-  There wa $5,821.0 billion used towards the weapons since 1940.
                
 In the Hiroshima alone, 150,000 people died instantly in the bombing. In Nagasaki, 75,000 people were instantly killed by the nuclear power of the bomb dropped.

I keep stressing the point that only two nuclear bombs have ever been used.

Impacts- This might end up causing our country debt.

We would be risking our country.

We would be charged with something greater than what we have and it could be used against us.

6. What do you think of the debate and who do you think had a better argument?  Welll i think that they had a great argument because they did accurate research!
