Chapter 291 Shameless

“Just now Zheng Fangsan argued that moral restraint is the result of thousands of years of civilization, but I want to say that law is the symbol of civilization.

The law advocates freedom and fairness, and equality for everyone is a huge progress in social development. Hundreds of international students in our school summarized what they heard and felt and found that all Western civilized countries have sound laws and respect for freedom."

He Xue, a student from outside Beijing who participated in the third debate, gave an impassioned speech in accordance with the debate rules and strongly promoted their views to the surrounding judges and audience - the law is a symbol of civilization.

Li Zhiye felt extremely contemptuous.

[Are you afraid that you have some misunderstanding about the laws of Western civilized countries? Rich people play with the law, but people with no money play with violence! 】

But looking at the people around him who were listening carefully, Li Ye felt extremely helpless.

In the early 1980s, the trend of people learning from the West was not weak at all. The advantages of the civilized world had a strong guiding force and penetration into the thinking of the Chinese people.

So many people who are willing to borrow money and smuggle it out simply believe that "everything is good outside"?

"The summary stage of the debate is over and free debate begins."

The host announced the next session and started the free debate. The members of the Beijing University debate team, who had been gentle and gentle in the previous sessions, suddenly became as sharp and fierce as those outside Beijing, even a little extreme and violent.

"If we lose our morality and only use the law as the criterion for human behavior, then if a thief steals in front of me and I slap him, he will ask me for compensation.

Even if there are witnesses at the scene, I still need to cooperate with the relevant departments in investigating and collecting evidence to prove that I hit him within the scope of the law.

And if this social moral constraint is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the thief will only run away in a hurry after being beaten, because he is afraid that everyone present will beat him with big-eared melon seeds. "

"If this society loses its morality, then everyone will delve into the law, and there will be endless ways to cheat money, cheat for sex, etc. The speed of improvement of the law will never keep up with the speed of updating criminal methods, and a lot of social resources will be wasted."

The Beijing Foreign Debate Team was very well prepared and only showed a very short period of sluggishness before starting to counterattack.

"That's because we don't popularize the law enough. If everyone knows the law and abides by the law, how can it take up social resources? Just like many cases now, everyone knows what is right and what is wrong, and they can solve it by themselves!"

"wrong!"

Li Ye stood up and said solemnly: "What is the law? The law is a strict rule that pays attention to evidence. Everything is based on the evidence, and everything is decided by the law enforcement department.

If it is just people's subjective judgment, everyone will know which one is right and which one is wrong. This is not a law, but a morality.

Morality is not static. From five thousand years ago to the present, new moral models have been formed in every era. Today's law may not necessarily be tomorrow's morality. "

"But today's morality may not be suitable for this era,"

He Xue stood up and said sternly: "Let me not talk about the moral scum like 'if you want your ministers to die, they have to die', I would like to ask the positive side Sanbian, what would you do if your father beat you?

Even if he is wrong, according to the moral standards you admire, can you fight back? Can you take it to the law? What use is this moral example? "

"Ha~"

Li Ye smiled, stood up and said softly: "If my father beats me, I will go to my grandfather and use moral means to solve the moral problem."

"."

"Hahahahahaha~"

"Hahahaha~"

"I can't stand it anymore. I really can't stand it. Can a debate be like this?"

He Xue's face turned red, and she stood up and said angrily: "You are quibbling in the three arguments of the affirmative. Using morality to fight morality just proves that morality is irrational and unreasonable."

"You think that's not the law?"

Yang Chen suddenly stood up and said with the same sharp words: "In the Western civilized countries that you admire, using the law to defeat the law is the most common normal operation. There are many examples of demons using legal loopholes to escape trial. .”

Yang Chenliang picked up a piece of white paper with a name written on it - Anna Bachmeier.

“In 1981, in Lübeck, West Germany, a villain with a history of murder killed seven-year-old Anna Bachmeier in an extremely cruel way.

But the villain not only falsely accused a seven-year-old child of inducing him to commit a crime, but his lawyer also proved that the villain was not guilty on the grounds that the villain was mentally ill.

What's even more unacceptable is that the villain's last criminal record was for the same behavior, and he was eventually acquitted. "

"."

The whole place was silent. This kind of bad incident is shocking in the West, let alone in the mainland in 83.

"You're talking nonsense"

He Xue said something tremblingly.

His teammates on the debate team woke up immediately and watched her sternly stop her.

This kind of thing should not be said by a debater, because it is likely to be a trap thrown by the other party.

But after careful observation, Li Ye discovered that He Xue had a radical personality. Once provoked continuously, he would easily lose control and expose his flaws.

Sure enough, Li Ye took out a newspaper from under the table and handed it to Yang Chen.

This newspaper was brought by Li Ye from Hong Kong Island. The details of the case published on it were exactly the same case that caused a great discussion on the collision between morality and law in the West.

Yang Chen held up the newspaper with a righteous face and said: "In order to refute the other party's groundless accusations against me, I have to present evidence."

"The devil took advantage of loopholes in the law and tried to escape trial on the grounds of mental disorder. When he was about to succeed again, the mother of a seven-year-old girl took out a pistol and shot the criminal eight times in court.

If you were that mother, would you be willing to obey the law and risk your life? ” ˆ ˆ “Oh~”

"Hey, where is this?"

"Didn't you hear what he said? It's in Lübeck, West Germany. Lübeck is a city."

"What will happen to the mother? She avenged her daughter, but will she have to lose another life?"

"Well, in this case, there are loopholes in just relying on the law. The so-called Western civilization is not completely superior."

There were various opinions at the scene, and countless viewers were attracted by the case Yang Chen mentioned, causing their consciousness to be secretly guided by the Peking University debate team without knowing it.

Yang Chen paused for a few seconds, and waited until the atmosphere was strong enough before revealing the result.

"The lawyer for the girl's mother, Ms. Marianne Bachmeier, also used mental problems as an excuse, claiming that a poor mother saw an apparition of her daughter in court and then accidentally killed the abominable criminal."

"The court adopted the lawyer's argument and only allowed Ms. Marianne Bachmeier to stay in prison for a year and a half. This is using the law to fight the law, but the basis of the judge's decision, do you think it is the law or morality? "

"."

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa~"

The whole place was silent again, even longer than last time.

Then, there was applause at the scene. I don’t know whether this applause was because they thought Yang Chen’s example debate was very exciting, or because they praised the mother who escaped legal sanctions for being resourceful.

Yang Chen sat down and enjoyed the applause at ease.

He and several teammates felt that the Jingwai Debate Team was no longer able to recover, and that He Xue's erroneous performance had already caused fatal consequences.

But He Xue's next words let them know what it means to take the wrong approach.

"The affirmative just exemplified a very rare case, but using morality as a constraint on human behavior has caused countless unfair tragedies."

He Xue looked at the countless spectators present, especially the female spectators.

"Everyone knows that we have long proposed equality between men and women, and women can hold up half the sky. However, just because of the so-called moral model, the shackles on us women have never been able to be broken.

If you don’t believe me, think about it, who’s last name is after their mother? Since men and women are equal, why should children take their father's surname? "

“Also, when everyone eats at home, do men always sit in the most honorable position and eat the best food, while women can’t even serve?

These are all moral constraints. In this new era of ours, are we still going to be bullied forever by these so-called morals?

We should use new standards to restrain ourselves, that is, laws that can give us equality, rather than morality full of rotten dross. "

Li Ye was really shocked. He didn't expect that He Xue would fight back in this situation.

Her argument is that morality is not suitable as a standard for human behavior.

Her argument is that from this time onwards, the boxer movement developed vigorously for decades.

Look at all the female classmates present. Just now they were praising the mother who fired eight shots in a row, but now they were completely pulled away by He Xue.

why?

Because of interests.

It only takes a few slogans of "everyone is equal" to change thousands of years of practice and get something that they have been unable to get for thousands of years.

Is this a huge profit?

Otherwise, do you think this movement can develop vigorously for decades, with no end in sight?

After working so hard to serve the master, where can I find the pleasure of using my white teeth to plunder and ride on my neck?

However, just when Li Ye thought that He Xue was just taking a wrong approach, He Xue's words made him understand what "those who count others will also count."

Li Ye is plotting against He Xue, who has a radical temperament, and He Xue is plotting against Li Ye.

"If you feel that these are not profound enough, then I would like to ask you to think about it again. Among the divorced men and women in our society, who has been hurt more? And do these injuries all come from so-called morality? What is the result of the so-called five thousand years of civilization?”

"After two people break up because of different opinions and outlook on life, why does the man always despise the woman? Why do the neighbors scold the woman but rarely hold the man accountable?"

"I would like to ask the affirmative for the third argument. Suppose your fiancée separates from you because you two have different interests. Would you use moral norms as a behavioral constraint to reprimand her, despise her, or even insult her?"

"."

Wen Leyu in the audience almost jumped over and slapped someone.

【Who are you talking about? Are you talking about me? 】

But Li Ye had already spit out three words lightly.

"shameless."
