Democrats just removed...

Question

The Thomas Jefferson statue!!

Answer 1

That's a little sad. I enjoy historical monuments about the history of our country.

Maybe they can give it to me and I'll put it in my yard 

Answer 2

I did a presentation for him in kindergarten,

Why did they do that?

I'm not a Democrat or a Republican but still

Comments

Because he owned slaves

Answer 3

its just a statue

if it was like mount rushmore being removed then id be angry but 

its a statue

theres probably another one of him somewhere

Comments

Yeah, there's probably many.

And I agree, if it was something like Mt Rushmore, there would be something to talk about.

This isn't that big of a deal.

Answer 4

Why did you point out the fact that it was Democrats?
Any political party could have done that, it just happened to be Democrats.

Comments

I just pointed out the facts!

---

Are you going to point out what the Republicans do, too?

---

Sorry I just learned about this MAYBE I would IF I heard something!!!!

---

mostly because the democRATs are the cause of all the turmoil in the US.

---

That's highly subjective and you know it.

Don't say it like it's a fact, anonymous.

---

It is a fact Nobodyimportant.

---

No it isn't.

Ask anyone else.

Do you know the difference between subjective and objective?
Objective is a fact.

Subjective is an opinion.

Not liking Trump is an opinion.

Not liking Biden is an opinion.

Saying that the Democrats are the cause of all turmoil is an opinion.

Stop making your opinion sound like a fact. No matter how many times you say it is, it isn't.

So please stop.

Answer 5

What statue?

Also I’m not sure we should be celebrating him as he owned tons of slaves

Comments

I dont know what statue I just know it was a statue that had been around for 167 years! Also basically everyone owned slaves at that time period so he wasn't doing anything bad. Also HE WROTE THE CONSTITUTION!!!

---

Slavery is bad in any timeline.

That's like saying that because everyone murders people that it's not bad because people do that all the time.

---

I know it's bad. But what about George Washington he owned slaves too.

---

What about him? It doesn't change what I said.

---

Yeah…

He’s also not great

---

do you support execution? like the really bad guys execution

---

No, I don't support the death penalty.

---

me neither

---

Alright, I’m not a politics guy, but here’s my stance (I’m not going Grizzly Lawyer mode fyi).

Yes, Thomas Jefferson did own slaves. And he is very wrong for that. But he redeems himself in the fact that he wrote some very important political documents that helped shape our nation into the superpower it is today.

Think about it.

Without the documents Jefferson wrote, slave owners would have even MORE pathetic excuses for owning slaves, creating even MORE turmoil, making European nations even MORE sympathetic to the south, making it EXTREMELY likely of MILITARY INTERFERENCE on the south’s side, possibly extending the slavery period even FURTHER.

I think that if Jefferson REALLY deserves to have his statue taken down, they should’ve taken it down right after the Civil War ended.

I hate the idea of slavery.

I have multiple friends that are black, and they are very good people (mostly, if not very good then just good).

And I also hate the people who owned slaves.

Yes, Thomas Jefferson owned slaves, but his work helped America in abolishing slavery.

I’m not trying to start an argument, I’m simply trying to end it.

Goobay, frens!

---

I agree good job

---

I understand, but this is literally just a statue.

It isn't Mt Rushmore.

I don't understand why it had to be pointed out that DEMOCRATS REMOVED THE ONE OF PROBABLY MANY STATUES OF THOMAS JEFFERSON.

---

then why do you support abortion?

---

Because abortion is not KILLING ANYONE.

Are you reading what I'm saying?

---

It is they are still children

---

oh no its not, i suppose that its helping the child...... or hay maybe putting it to sleep.... OF CORSE IT KILLS THE KID. and do not say its not alive, the kid has brainwaves 3 weeks after it has started to grow and any one with brainwaves is considered alive.

---

R   E   S   E   A   R   C   H.

I AGREE THAT IT IS INHUMANE TO KILL A BABY.

THE THING HASN'T DEVELOPED ANYTHING YET.

IT DOESN'T HAVE CONSCIOUSNESS YET.

THE MOTHER MAY NOT BE HEALTHY DURING OR AFTERWARDS IF SHE LETS THE PREGNANCY CONTINUE.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

I NEED TO TO READ WHAT I'M SAYING.

I AM NOT A BAD PERSON FOR BEING A DEMOCRAT, SUPPORTING ABORTION, AND NOT BELIEVING IN GOD.

LEAVE

ME

ALONE!

---

You not not a bad person at all. Being a democrat does not make you bad. Not believing in God does not make you bad. This was a silly debate. I'm sorry.

---

...

I'm very sorry too.

I shouldn't have gotten worked up.

I would still love to be friends with you regardless of some of our polar opposite views...

Would you still like to?

---

your not a bad person, you just dont know what is right or wrong, no one ever thought you thats all. you can make your own decisions just make sure there the best ones.

---

YES please

---

You are the one who doesn’t know right from wrong, not nobi.

---

Please don't start this fight. We both have our opinions. Neither of us is wrong.

---

Maybe I should delete this post.

---

No, no, don't delete the post, GK. It'll show how much we've matured in the future :D

Pizza, thank you for standing up for me. You and GK are right, nothing is wrong.

I would just like for us to all be friends and either avoid this topic, or next time we can accept each other's differing statements about politics and religion and things like that without being rude about it.

---

Yes, but I do think we should be able to debate while still being peaceful
