Wow that would be very stupid

[Pavlov]

Yeah, unnecessary for the city name but I like the fact people have to do a double take and find out more real history.

Why is it unnecessary?

And that you're so appreciative of the enrichment.

[Trey Gowdy]

Who cares if they rename the city?

muh heritage

[Pavlov]

Why is it unnecessary?

Because the bumper stickers are already printed.

[Spurtacular]

Because the bumper stickers are already printed.

I want to know how you make a distinction between statues and city names.

[Pavlov]

I want to know how you make a distinction between statues and city names.

It's much easier to put a statue in a contextual museum display.

[Spurtacular]

It's much easier to put a statue in a contextual museum display.

And what is so important about keeping the context of Austin in the forefront?

[Pavlov]

I think it's great for people to know the whole story. Why are you against that?

[Spurtacular]

I think it's great for people to know the whole story. Why are you against that?

And it's not great for people that know the whole story about the Civil War? Sorry, but you're taking two different stances on the same issue.

[Pavlov]

That's what the contextual museum exhibit is for, derp.

You're really don't understand anything, do you?

lol

They can learn all about Austin in a museum, too.

You really want to have it both ways, don't you?

lol

[Pavlov]

They can learn all about Austin in a museum, too.

I'm not sure why you want to move a city name into a museum though.

Why do you want to do that?

[Spurtacular]

I'm not sure why you want to move a city name into a museum though.

Why do you want to do that?

The history of Austin can or cannot be adequately represented in a Museum.

True or false?

[Pavlov]

The history of Austin can or cannot be adequately represented in a Museum.

True or false?

The person? Sure.

I'm all for moving both of his statues into museums.

Why not?

Great idea, derp!

[Spurtacular]

The person? Sure.

I'm all for moving both of his statues into museums.

So, the full context can be preserved in a museum; but you say a city should have a "racist" name but not "racist" statues.

Today's selectively "racist" chump.

Just being practical tbh.

If you want to change the name, have at it.

Yea, it's "practical" to not want a name change until you've received your marching orders.

Today's hypocrite

From whom are you saying I would receive marching orders that would change my stance on this, derp?

Be specific.

[Spurtacular]

Be specific.

You know who your marching orders come from. And I'm sure when you take them, you will have "evolved" like your hero.

[Pavlov]

You know who your marching orders come from.

Who, derp?

Let's see the names.

List them.

[Spurtacular]

Who, derp?

Let's see the names.

List them.

The puppet wants to know who is his puppetmaster.
Derpin' like your tranny man.
