I just think decisions on monuments should be made at state and community level.

You just posted an example of what you want, Darrin.

Yep

[Pavlov]

So why are you acting like you just came up with this position and no one else already has here?

[UZER]

Reasonable people: "N!gger is an offensive word."

Unreasonable idiots: "Fine, why don't we just ban words?"

Yeah man. Thats it.

[spurraider21]

Darrin is not that low man

Hes actually almost at ur level

i dont give credit for copy/pasting talking points from "the five" tbh

Case in point

I just think decisions on monuments should be made at state and community level.

lol talking point Darrin

[Spurminator]

Yeah man. Thats it.

The argument presented in this thread was literally that since we're changing some school names, we should stop naming any schools after people because no person is perfect.

You got a better illustration?

You're sensitive enough to start a passive aggressive thread about it, ma'am.

You and Dale need to go about 500 pages of rodeo spam . Start now.

I think it's actually the slippery slope argument and multiple examples were given.

I don't really give a about confederate monuments , but I think some of them look pretty cool. But, if people really see these things as Hitler statues, I can see why they want them gone. I just don't remember any controversy about them until fairly recently.

So why post the same bull about it?

Slippery slope arguments are generally considered to be fallacies.

Stopping the naming schools after people is not stopping school names. It's stopping the naming schools after people.

You illustration was ridiculous.

wat?

[UZER]

wat?

Reasonable people: "N!gger is an offensive word."

Unreasonable idiots: "Fine, why don't we just ban words?"

That was his comparison for people saying to stop naming schools after any one person.

"Stop naming schools after people" doesn't mean stop naming schools. It's means just don't name then after people. PS1, PS2 are still names. Boring and plain, but still names.

His comparison was extreme and stupid.

LOL we've got the metaphor police on the job.

The comparison is extreme and stupid because the original idea is extreme and stupid.

[Spurminator]

In the metaphor, "n!gger":bad people as words:people.

Fairly simple idea, regardless of whether you like it or not.

You mean like ex moderator or something like that?

Soon enough it will be "Duracell Middle School" and "American Airlines High School" anyhow.
