"Just now, Fang San 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.

Hundreds of international students in our university summed up what they heard and felt, and found that all Western civilized countries have sound laws and respect freedom."

He Xue, a third-debater student from outside Beijing, made an impassioned speech in accordance with the rules of debate, strongly proclaiming her point of view to the surrounding judges and the audience - the law is a symbol of civilization.

Li Ye was extremely contemptuous in his heart.

[Are you afraid that there is some misunderstanding of the laws of Western civilized countries? Only rich people play the law, but those who don't have money play violence! 】

But looking at the serious listening of the people around him, Li Ye was extremely helpless.

In the early 80s, the trend of the whole people learning from the West was not weak at all, and the superiority of the civilized world had a strong guiding force and permeability in the thinking of the Chinese people.

So many people who are willing to borrow money and have to smuggle it out, don't they just believe that "the outside is good"?

"The conclusion of the debate is over, and the free debate begins."

The moderator announced that he had entered the next session and began a free debate, and the members of the Beijing University debate team, who had behaved in the previous sessions, were suddenly as sharp and fierce as those outside Beijing, and even a little extreme.

"If we lose our morality and only take the law as the yardstick for human behavior, then the thief steals in front of me, and I give him a slap in the face, and he will demand compensation from me,

Even if there are eyewitnesses at the scene, I need to cooperate with the relevant departments to investigate and collect 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 flee in a hurry after being beaten, because he is afraid that everyone present will whip him with big-eared melon seeds. ”

"If this society loses morality, then everyone will delve into the law, and the means of cheating money, sex, and so on will emerge in an endless stream, and the speed of improvement of the law will never be able to keep up with the speed of updating the means of crime, and a large amount of social resources will be wasted."

The Beijing Wai Debate Team was very well prepared, only showing a very short period of sluggishness, and then also began to fight back.

"That's because we don't have enough law popularization, if everyone knows the law and abides by the law, then how can it still occupy social resources? Just like many cases now, everyone knows who is right and who is wrong, and they will solve it themselves! ”

"Wrong!"

Li Ye stood up and said awe-inspiringly, "What is the law?" The law is a strict law that pays attention to evidence, everything is subject to evidence, and everything is ruled by law enforcement agencies.

If it is just people's subjective determination, everyone knows which is right and which is wrong, which is precisely not law, but morality.

Morality is not immutable, from 5,000 years ago to the present, every era, there are new moral models formed, today's law, not necessarily tomorrow's morality. ”

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

He Xue stood up and said solemnly: "I don't want to say the moral dross of 'the king wants the minister to die', the minister has to die, I will ask the three arguments, if your father beats you, what should you do?"

Even if he is wrong, can you fight back according to the moral model you admire? Can you put it into law? What else could be used for such a moral paradigm? ”

"Heh~"

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 problem of morality." ”

“.”

"Hahahahahaha~"

"Hahaha~"

"I can't stand it, I really can't stand it, can the debate be like this?"

He Xue's face turned red, and she stood up and said angrily: "You are quibbling with the three arguments, and using morality to deal with morality just proves that morality is irrational and unreasonable. ”

"You think that's the law, don't you?"

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

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

"In 1981, in West Dlubeck, a villain with a history of murder killed seven-year-old Anna Bachmeier with great cruelty.

But not only did the villain frame a seven-year-old child to lure him into committing a crime, but his lawyer also proved the villain innocent on the grounds that the villain was mentally ill.

And what is even more unacceptable is that the villain's last criminal record was the same behavior, and it was eventually acquitted. ”

“.”

The audience was silent, this kind of bad incident is appalling in the West, let alone in the mainland in 83.

"You talk nonsense"

He Xue trembled and said a word.

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

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 Li Ye observed carefully, he found that He Xue had a radical temperament, and once he was continuously provoked, he was prone to lose control and reveal 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, and the details of the case published on it were exactly a case that caused a great discussion on the collision of morality and law in the West.

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

"The demon took advantage of the loopholes in the law and tried to escape the trial on the grounds of mental abnormality, and when he was about to succeed again, the mother of the seven-year-old girl pulled out a pistol and shot the criminal dead eight times in the courtroom.

If you were that mother, would you be willing to obey the law and pay for your life? ”

"Oh~"

"Hey, what's going on?"

"Didn't you hear him? It was in Lübeck in West Germany, and Lübeck was a city."

"What will happen to that mother? She avenged her daughter, but did she have to pay for one more life? ”

"Alas, in this way, just relying on the law really has loopholes, and the so-called Western civilization is not completely superior."

There were different opinions at the scene, and countless viewers were attracted by the case that Yang Chen said, causing their consciousness to be secretly guided by the Beijing 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 girl's mother, Ms. Marianne Bachmeier's lawyer, also used mental problems as an excuse to claim that a poor mother had seen a phantom of her daughter in court and then accidentally killed the hateful criminal."

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

“.”

"Whoa~"

The audience was silent again, even longer than the last.

Then, there was applause at the scene, and I don't know whether this applause was because Yang Chen's example debate was very exciting, or whether he praised the mother who escaped legal punishment for being witty enough.

Yang Chen sat down and enjoyed the applause at the scene with peace of mind.

He and several teammates felt that the Beijing Foreign Debate Team was powerless, and He Xue's mistaken performance had already caused fatal consequences.

But He Xue's next words let them know what a sword is.

"The positive side is just an example of a very rare case, but the use of morality as a constraint on human behavior has caused countless unjust tragedies."

He Xue looked at the countless audiences at the scene, especially the female audience.

"As we all know, we have long proposed equality between men and women, and women can hold up half the sky, but it is because of the so-called moral model that the shackles on our women have never been opened.

If you don't believe it, you can think about it, whose surname is after the mother? Since men and women are equal, why should children take their father's surname? ”

"Also, when you eat at home, do men always sit in the most honorable places and eat the best meals, while women can't even serve them?

These are all moral constraints, is it possible that in our new era, we should be bullied forever by these so-called morals?

We should bind ourselves with a new standard, that is, a law that can give us equality for all, rather than a morality full of rotten dross. ”

Li Ye was really shocked, he couldn't imagine that He Xue would fight back in this situation.

Her argument is that morality is not fit to be the standard that governs human behavior.

And her argument is that from this time, the boxing sport has developed vigorously for decades.

Look at all the female classmates at the scene, just now they were still praising the mother who fired eight shots in a row, but now she was completely pulled over by He Xue.

Why?

Because of the interests.

It only takes a few slogans of "equality for all" to change millennia-old conventions and get things that they have not been able to get for thousands of years.

This. Isn't it a book of great profits?

Otherwise, do you think that this movement can develop vigorously for decades and still have no end in sight?

Serving the old men hard, where is the enjoyment of empty white teeth wantonly plundering and riding on the neck?

However, just when Li Ye thought that He Xue was just a sword, He Xue's remarks made him understand what it meant to be "a person who counts people, and people are also counted." ”

He, Li Ye, is calculating He Xue's temperament is aggressive, and He Xue is also calculating Li Ye.

If you still don't think these things are deep enough, then I ask you to think about it, who is more hurt by the divorced men and women in our society now? And do all these injuries come from the so-called morality? The so-called 5,000-year-old civilization is the result? ”

"After two people break up because of different opinions and different outlooks on life, why does the man always despise the woman, why are the neighbors scolding the woman, but rarely holding the man responsible?"

"I would like to ask you three arguments, if your fiancée separates from you because of your different interests, will you behave in a moral manner, reprimand her, despise her, and even insult her?"

“.”

Wen Leyu in the audience almost jumped over and pumped people.

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

But Li Ye had already spit out three words lightly.

"Shameless."
