The answers to the fallacies, in order. I hope you did well. The fallacies will change next month, so please check them out.

1.) I wrote a clue down here. The opponent's anyalsis of the resolution is wrong because they have over looked their grammar. If the resolution was talking about weapons that only contained nuclear parts, the resolution would have a hyphen: "All-nuclear weapons should be banned."

2.) This argument seems legit, at first. Your opponent basically relys on tradition to win. This is wrong especially in the US. Traditions such as the Constituion are constantly ammending themselves. Even the Supreme Court constantly changes their value hierarchies.

3.) Do you take Latin? There's a term for the argument presented here called:

ad hominem which literally means: "against the man." Your opponent in this situation claims the philosophy is faultly because it deals with only the personality or their fame. No arguments were made on the points themselves.

4.) This opponent has given no reasons why socialism is bad. Make them explain why socialism is bad. Anything else is just an assumption. This can be hard because of our nation's history with propaganda against communism.

5.) A common mistake is you only need to prove your opponent's value is worthless to win. Not true! You have to prove that your value is worthwhile too.

6.) Doesn't this just scream peer presure? Mommy says, "If evryone jumped off a bridge, would you too?" Just because it's popular doesn't make it right.

7.) Your opponent is assuming things again! It's a circular answer. Plus, the debate isn't necessarily limitted to a specific time or place. Was there ever a time when it WASN'T the American way?

8.) For a while I believed in using the stock-issues from policy debating in LD. This is wrong for one VERY good reason. There are no PLANS in Values Debate. All the stock-issues depend on plans in order to be fulfilled. The stock-issues don't apply. (Look for a longer explanation in the next LD Lesson!)

9.) Ever played with blocks? If you built a tower and tried to remove a block from the bottom, usually the tower falls down. Same idea here. The top value will fall if it has no support from the lesser value.

10.) "Did any of your evidence respond to either Jefferson or Mill's stance on the intrinsic worth of freedom?" Remember to push that point. Your opponent was just tip-toeing around that main fact.
