Erasing history for racial and political gain. Hitler was good at that.

If we removed everything that offends people, there would be nothing and no one left.

It's part of history. Removing it does not mean it didn't happen. Grow up people and stop trying to change the past, you can not do it.

True, who is leading this movement? Whoever it is thinks very differently about their ancestors and history. I can’t believe that people of government are allowing this kind of thing to happen. The answer to the problem is not in a statue.

The idea of removing a statue is stupid. The Confederacy is a part of our history, and if we erase a part of it, then we're more likely to repeat it. People get offended too easily and need to suck it up and not be offended by inanimate objects or what they stand for.

how about using the statue as a teaching moment? Trying to erase the visual reminders of our actual past changes nothing. I see this as another example of one group trying to control the narrative to silence people who don't see things the same way.

No its wrong to do so. Because it's part of our history how states evolved. If your gonna get rid of the statues then you need to rewrite the history books . Teachers teach it in schools are they gonna start not teaching bout slavery? If you remove the statues then you might as well remove all .

For workers it is sound. For those on welfare it could be a problem. Things are about to change.

Well my uneducated self who is debt free, doesn't live outside my means, retired before 50 will be just fine regardless what happens. No you educated, debt ridden, living off the government's charity..... well you yourself are to blame. Be accountable for your life and actions.

When the debt finally becomes unsustainable ... which isn't that far off ... the solution historically is to monetize the debt, leading to hyperinflation. Read up on it ... you will not be immune.

The "dollar" is not real. The economy is the labor the people provide.

Because Kansas is a better program. KU used to be bad but Coach Lance Leipold has made KU better.

Going to say it's about right for this point in the season. They can move up as they keep winning games.

They beat an unranked Kansas team. Take it easy, it was a great win but it was Kansas. Do that to a top 25 team now. Great game though was a great experience.

It just depends on how the other teams done in the league. That is how teams should be ranked.
