 Pro  Con 1) What is polution? Do you mean pollution? 2) Pollution isn't an issue, it assists with natural selection[1] as the weaker die off faster. And since our world is currently overpopulating, killing off the weak is pretty useful. 3) If pollution is an issue then it's only an issue in countries that are not overpopulated and don't need to kill the weak off. Best of luck, opponent. Sources: [1] http://evolution.berkeley.edu... [2] http://www.overpopulation.org... |

Pro Polluted water and polluted air are causing poisinous plants, and killing animals in the area. So there is going to be nothing left for us to eat. Pollution is also directly harming us. Over 1 billion people worldwide lack access to safe drinking water. 5,000 people die each day due to dirty drinking water. Approximately 46% of the lakes in America are too polluted for fishing, aquatic life, or swimming. Over 1 million seabirds and 100,000 sea mammals are killed by pollution every year. No it does not JUST effect the weak, it effects us too. Con I wasn't aware that the world is full of cannibals. Anyway, to answer your question the strong eat the weak because those that were once strong will become the new weak until we become infinitely nearer to the perfect human being and kill off the weak fools such as myself for the strong geniuses to survive. That's life. :) You did not supply sources for any of your statistics and the only relevant stats were only for America. Lack of drinking water isn't due to pollution, that's due to lack of irrigation. it's a financial issue of funding, not an issue of polluted water (the water was already polluted naturally). Imagine how packed the world would be if those birds and sea mammals didn't die! I win. Good game. Well played. |

Reasons for voting decision: Con's assumptions are dangerously made; con assumes that all countries with overpopulation problems want pollution to kill the weak. Pro doesn't exploit this and makes another dangerous assumption; in which con exploits skillfully. All arguments, however, are weak in the fact that they are either baseless or irrelevant. At the end of the day, con had better S & G, so he wins.
