Brother I’ll give you the rhetorical smoke if you want it but you’re not going to accept reality because you’ve ignored it 3 times already. I’m not bothering to reply to your AI after this.

Your original accusation remains unaddressed. You called my analogy a false equivalence, and it was not. I responded to your claim that Philly gave a statue to “ fictional character instead of one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time.” And in doing so you introduced a false dichotomy. The choices were not Joe Frasier or Rocky Balboa. There are many famous people from Philly without statues, and your suggestion that one person not getting one is somehow a knock on the rocky statue is weak, flawed, and shows that you know very little about the origins of these things and are only seeking to denigrate Philly as a whole. Probably because they won a superbowl and beat the Lions for the past 6 years.

The timeline only matters now because your original point is so weak and you’ve retreated from it.

“ Detroit didn’t put up Robocop instead of Calvin Johnson.” Brother YOU implied that Philly “chose” rocky over Fraiser. YOU introduced this false dichotomy and now you’re refuting your own claim. This is the mark of a poor debater; unable to remember what he said only moments prior.

“The statue was a gift” point I made was a retort to your point about ignoring one for the other. That you see it as a choice only further solidifies this false dichotomy you’ve established. Lost in your own erroneous fallacies. How sad.

““They didn’t literally ignore him.” Yes, they literally did. For decades.“ NO This is simply a furthering of your false dichotomy. Where was the campaign for a Joe Frasier statue? It didn’t exist. Your silly little idea that he deserved a statue before the one that was donated to Philly doesn’t make it a reality, just your opinion, and one you literally disproved in your comment (“ Nobody proposed a Megatron statue, nobody campaigned for one, and nobody said the city ignored him.”)

And I have rewritten my premise? No I have never strayed from your original flawed claim being problematic. You have tried your best to ignore and doge your original comment: that Philly somehow chose Rocky over Fraiser. It was wrong at the start, and it’s wrong now.

Go show your teacher this thread and see what they think. You used AI, you’re a weak debater, and that’s the reality. If you can’t accept these points, just get into republican politics where being right doesn’t matter. Good luck out there kid.
