CS Debate Thread

[wendigo]

((If you don't mind i have two topics i want to debate: girls not being able to play baseball [my thoughts=grrrrr!!]

So.. your annoyence is that women can't play baseball? Like men can? Or are you annoyed that they can't play with men? Because men are stronger than women. That's how they're built. That's a fact. Therefor women are not allowed to play with men.

Well here's MY opinion on that.
Don't we have a thing in the US that ALL PEOPLE have EQUAL RIGHTS? If that is true, doesn't that mean that females can have the same opportunities as males? I understand if it's fact that men are better built or whatnot but why can't women have a chance at sports. Like baseball. I want to try out for my schools baseball team, but the coach refuses to let me because I'm a girl. He says I would be forced to play softball. Why though? For simply the reason that I have two x chromosomes?
A new title was also passed recently called Title IX (title 9) that says that women have to have to the same opportunites as men when it comes to education. Why can't I have the opportunity to become the first female baseball player on the Met's? Is my gender the reason? This is what is considered sexist.

Well, that is true. Women should have the opportunity. It should be equal. I'm not too worried about sports, as I am worryed about work. A woman that works the same ammount of time, at the same job, get less money than the man. Why? Because hundreds of years ago, it was the man that provided the family. Today, as it is more common with single mothers, we still haven't changed. God this world is slow. Same with baseball and whatnot. Women didn't do that before. Now, more women are interested in sports. Do we change a thing? No.

[PercabethObsessed]

Exactly. I believe (I'm not sure on exact details) that the title ix was made because a woman in a HIGHER position was being paid less than a man. My aunt (we discuss this a lot) says that it was because the person who pays the workers just thought that the man has to support his family. UM HELLO!?? with this time period EVERYONE NEEDS TO SUPPORT THEIR FAMILY! male, female, sometimes children. And with baseball, my dad, when I told him I was going to try out for baseball LAUGHED AT ME! He said there were no female players in the major leagues. My own DAD is sexist to his own daughter! Has the world really come to this!?

Speaking of sexism, I've noticed that in some countries, they treat their women like property or slaves. Also, lots of people say women are horrible and they hate them. Well, I say that, without us women, no one would exist c:
Also, we have babies who grow up to women-haters, is that fair?


Ooh! Ooh! *raises hand* I can has make topic?
Okay, so my principal ADMITTED to getting on our Facebook pages.
And looking at them! Most people my age don't really mess with the settings, so their profiles are public.
She goes on and looks at our stuff D:< And she says to us, "I see you guys saying inappropriate things and changing your statuses to in a relationship, and you guys..." and she went on about how we shouldn't do that. Then she continued with, "I mean, I don't want to know if you ate steak for dinner. I don't care if it's the best steak ever, you don't need to say that on Facebook!" Well, Mrs. Hateful, (what I call the principal c:) you really don't need to look at that if you don't want to. Then my friend Bobby raised his hand and asked, "Well, isn't that privacy invasion?" so...is it? Is our principal what our parents always said to stay away from on the internet?

Well that's just stupid! And it's funny because the day I mention this on CS we start talking about it in SS and I'm like "excuse me Mr. Teacher! (thats not his real name but I'm not posting his real name so weird stalkers can try to find me...) Can we have a debate on this?!" because sometimes we do debates and I would totally crush the opposing side (3 and it was really fun but its the end of the year and we have stupid finals.
ANyway, we were also learning about how slaves were treated and I just don't get how people are STILL doing that!Don't they see that now, like what a lot of years later, its still inhumane! GR! People anger me.

Haha, weird, I actually said this because I had a debate that day in SS!
Yeah, it's extremely inhumane.

I do agree that women should have more rights, but I'm not one to complain about that in particular (not a feminist). Sure, I'm a girl and when I need to get a job (really soon) I'll probably wish I had it as easy as a man would, but in relation to history we've actually gotten very far in a very short amount of time. A hundred years isn't that long, and by the end of my lifetime women will probably be nearly as respected as men, if not as respected and well payed.
We have a lot of opportunity here, we're so spoiled we don't realize it.
Although, to be fair, there will probably never be such thing as equal opportunity. It's just not rational, like a eutopia, it doesn't work, and it's not fair and not many people like that. The poor, the sick, the disabled, the foreigners, they don't have as good a chance to make it big. But well... Some do, and as a woman I'm up to the challenge of proving myself worthy. I'll work with what I've got. 8)

I agree with you the principle doesn't need to get on Facebook and view your profiles she was most probably looking for something that she could gripe about to yall.
