What?? Every thread on here on that topic had at least a couple apologists to tell us why we should just let those statues go, and we'd be done with it, and better off.

You are being VERY disingenuous with your last comment!
Would you please link to some/any? We already had the brouhaha last year or whenever over the naming of the Ivy League school (Wilson?) When has anyone motivated by statue removal EVER indicated it stopped there? This is a false retro-narrative.

Even now on the OT there are numerous posters saying things like “who gives a shite about ___?” As if nothing will ever affect them.

When I first read this, I thought it was satire. Then I saw it was real. LOLOL

I bet someone from FSU or UGA did this as a joke, not thinking the left would be stupid enough to cancel it. Well, just like the "OK" symbol...

I hate to say it (I hate to say this phrase anyway), but I stand with the Florida Gators. This is out of control.

Hate that damn cheer though.

What's next? They start rolling in the 4th Quarter to "The People of 'Ol Florida"???

This is a pretty bad take. Anyone who has been reading this board for over a month has seen arguments against the slippery slope in regards to statue removal

The evidence was shown days ago.

He just starts the argument new every day.

Only a blind, or disingenuous, person can argue there is no slippery slope.

Nobody has shown any evidence of such a thing.

I still think you are confused about what I am saying. I am not saying that none of you said there would be a slippery slope. And I'm also not saying that they're won't be.

What I'm saying is: I have never seen any evidence that the motivated "statue people" have EVER said they would "stop at just a few statues". Seriously, who ever said this?

I am further saying that building renaming is not actually distinct from statues. It's the same shite - memorialization.

They only want high capacity magazines. They don’t want all guns. What would make you think they do?

It depends on who we define as the "statue people".
