    Stop catastrophizing. You know as well as I do that isn’t what I’m referring to. I’m talking about putting fantasy books and other “non-educational” books in school libraries.

    No one is saying that libraries should have porn and mein kampf. What you’re doing is the classic slippery slope fallacy and no one is dumb enough to fall for it, so shut it.

      lol, you can’t get any more le reddit, than misusing a logical fallacy in attempt to look smart.

      That isn’t a slippery slope… slippery slope is, “if kids read spicy books, they’ll have unrealistic ideas about sex, and if htey have unrealistic ideas about sex then they’ll all become furries, and if they’re all furries then everyone will be gay and no one will have kids ever again…”

      Taking your point and giving an example where it doesn’t hold isn’t a fallacy on my part. It’s a logical inconsistency that you’re demonstrating. That you’re too dumb to understand that isn’t my fault. If I were you, I would just shut it, quit while you’re behind and whatnot.

        Slippery slope is “If we let libraries carry un-educational books like fantasy novels, we’ll end up having to let libraries carry porn and mein kampf.”

        And that’s the last I’m going to bother responding to idiot trolls.
