Okay, so this is like the second debate topic that just totally blew chunks as a debate topic. Both sides have presented weak arguments, but I think it is because the question is so stupid. "Is rap music torture?" is like asking "Is the sun evil?" It's as stupid to argue it IS evil, as to argue it's NOT. The sun itself has no inherent intent, or spirit, or conscience, therefore, it is impossible for it to be evil, sad, happy, etc. The same is true for rap music, it is impossible for the music to determine how it is used by man.
No fault of bravo, but I think WB might win this one by default.
