I would thank EricT the Ambitious to accept this debate and I look forward to a fantastic organized discussion.

Point 1: Pineapple is healthy

https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/324978#how-to-eat-pineapple

This source illustrates how it is healthy to eat a pineapple. Self-explanatory. Definitely better than some of the other toppings especially if you want vitamin C.

Point 2: People actually like it

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/news/2017/03/06/Pineapple-on-pizza-01_trans%2B%2BqVzuuqpFlyLIwiB6NTmJwfSVWeZ_vEN7c6bHu2jJnT8.png

Most British people who participated in the poll stand on my side. 80%+ of them like pineapples and more than half(53%) like pineapples as a pizza topping.

https://i.redd.it/4ic7t3ocxe041.png

56% think pineapple pizza should be allowed, out of more than 1700 people, according to an online poll.

https://nationalpostcom.files.wordpress.com/2018/10/pineapple1.jpg?w=640&h=360

On average, 68-85% of Canadians think Pineapple pizzas are okay and only 15-32% of them think pineapple pizzas aren't okay.

https://x96.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/PizzaPineapple.png

An ESPN account got the result of 60% ending up thinking pineapple pizzas are allowed.

In Australia, 49% of Domino consumers like Pineapple as a pizza topping.

https://www.today.com/food/pineapple-acceptable-pizza-topping-america-decides-t118980

46% of people in this sample said "yes" to pineapple pizza. on the contrary, Anchovies pizza only had 14% in favor of them.

https://www.google.com/maps/search/anchovy+pizza/@40.740202,-73.9587107,14z/data=!3m1!4b1?hl=en

In fact, so many shops in just NYC alone, with a topping of 14% liking, would mean Pineapples should be allowed in stores since it is at least 3 times as favorable.

Tim Carman's twitter had 59% saying "yes" to pineapple pizza,

https://plot.ly/~pierloreto/15.png?share_key=4FJX2vnn3pXxyYNMwbWibO

This poll had 53% saying "yes" to pineapple pizza.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaiian_pizza

Hawaiian pizza are pizzas with pineapples on it. It has been made since 1962. Cutting stocks of thousands of diners, including ones that had been at least 50 years old, would be a massive inconvenience.

(53+56+68+60+49+46+59+53)/8=55.5, and 55.5% means majority.

Conclusion:

More than half of the people thinks pineapple pizza is okay.
Pineapple pizza is not more unhealthy than other toppings.
Pineapple pizzas are in popular pizza diners, especially in Hawaii and Australia. Cutting stock on these things will be massively inconvenient.

I will stop here. I tried to do a Trent0405-type argument here and it may not look like it. I wish my opponent the best of luck. Thank you voters for reading this text.

My opponent had failed to refute my points. I give my opponent another chance before it is too late. I extend every argument I have made.

Pineapple on pizza is disgusting

I'm very lax on certain things just being implied (such as the non-forfeiting side not forfeiting... hence why I want to change the voting rules), but it needs to be said: Advertising your debate is fine, but it in itself cannot be the reason for your allotment, even on an FF.

No, it is meant to be mentally and rhetorically allowed. I am trying to make people believe it is okay to put pineapple on pizza. That aside. I predict RM will accept this but I'd hate to see such a great debater to debate me 4 times in a row and winning them.

Reason:

If one gladiator stands in the coliseum while his opponent pees his own breeches than slits his own throat, the less wet swordsman obviously wins the day. PRO offered a well researched opinion in good faith and CON only replied with ad hom and bad faith only- worse conduct than forfeit and absent any assertion relevant to topic. One of the few efforts on this site that could have been improved by full forfeit.

Reason:

Arguments:
Pro made two relatively strong arguments for why pineapple on pizza should be allowed (the health benefits and the fact that it is a somewhat popular pizza topping). On the other hand, Con only provided his own opinion ("Pineapple on pizza is disgusting") followed by a rant. Argument point to Pro.

Sources:
Pro provided polls and an article to substantiate his claims. Con provided no sources whatsoever. Sources point to Pro.

Conduct:
Con called Pro a 'dirtbag' and generally blasts Pro with insulting language in Round 2. This is bad conduct, thus conduct point goes to pro.
