    You are literally the only person in this thread advocating this position, which should tell you it’s likelihood of ever gaining popular acceptance. I question why the idea of changing the name of the honors college makes you hyperemotional to the point that you would take such a knee jerk...

    Abolition was a major part of Lincoln’s platform and political philosophy. Racial equality was not and his views on racial equality were wrong but prevalent during that time. If you can’t distinguish his views from those of John Calhoun and see that there is a difference then I don’t know what...

    Appreciate that. The question is how do you justify honoring someone who’s been dead for 170 years whose legacy represents the oppression of 25-30% of SC’s demographic today. There were plenty of politicians who were contemporaries of John Calhoun who advocated for state’s rights who didn’t take...

    My point was to show how what you are saying is illogical, but if you can’t take emotion out of it and see the deductive reasoning behind the analogy, I will ask you this. If Clemson was named Jim Crow University, would you stand behind the name and use a slippery slope argument to justify your...

    To put your position in context: if we let men and women get married, gay people will want to get married. If we let gay people get married, they will let child molesters marry children. If that happens, next thing you know people will be marrying animals. Ergo, no one should get married...

    The slipper slope argument is pure speculation and doesn’t recognize any nuance. Calhoun was not Lincoln or Jefferson or Washington. Calhoun used his political platform to promote the idea that slavery was a positive good for society, and his writings and essays provided a philosophical...

    I don’t think anyone seriously wants to rename the university.

    Slippery slope arguments should be given little weight, and rightly so. No one is trying to rename the university, the Lincoln Memorial, Washington, D.C., etc. Calhoun’s name and legacy speak for themselves.

    Naming an institution after someone is not history, it is honoring their legacy. His name should not be attached to a public university.

    NSIAP: Nike Online Sales +31% Since the Kap Campaign was Unveiled

    I’m sure everyone would like to hear more of your thoughts on what is wrong with black people. If only you could get to CK, he would probably see that all this silly kneeling was misguided. The obvious problem is the black community itself, right?

    Russian Collusion is Becoming Clear to Honest People: Facts not Speculation

    So you are saying that Cohen perjured himself? What facts are you basing that on? Also no, as many legal experts have not stated otherwise. I could literally post 3 or 4 links to quotes from at least 20 legal scholars stating that these are campaign finance violations, including Rick Hasen and...

    Russian Collusion is Becoming Clear to Honest People: Facts not Speculation

    No, you don’t. You don’t even know how a campaign contribution is defined by the Federal Election Campaign Act. You are regurgitating other people’s talking points instead of thinking for yourself. Lol at Dershowitz. He is one of a minuscule minority of legal authorities to come out and say...

    Russian Collusion is Becoming Clear to Honest People: Facts not Speculation

    I challenge you to provide the legal definition of a contribution and use facts to demonstrate how it’s not an illegal contribution. Without using online editorial content.

    OT: Florida Stand Your Ground Law. Opinions?

    This isn't accurate. It depends on the circumstances. The person's subjective belief that they are in deadly or serious danger is compared to an objective standard of reasonability, taking into account their age, physical condition, etc. It could be very easy or very difficult depending on the...
