This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Today the murals. Tommorrow the Dome. by 21TAS
Won't be long before we start erasing those aspects of History which are offensive to .... well, anyone who wants to take offense.
How long before someone somewhere decides to be offended by public displays of Catholicism and demands action. No more Mary on the Dome?
How long before Father Sorin is a target for having planted this university smack dab in the middle of native american indigenous territory. Darn missionaries. Messing up with local indigenous minds and culture. No more University of .... what?
How long before someone gets tired of the "Fighting Irish" meme and decides it is offensive.
This is political correctness gone totally over the top.
I am disgusted with this decision.
