Yesterday's Mass Shooting.

[PadawanWarrior]

The problem I see in that is that I have/had some gun nut friends. The ones I'm talking about are quite a different shade of pale than the nutcases out there. No puns intended with the verbiage. Have a habit of quoting music.

Get Down! He's Got a Mullet!

Sure why not force all the girls to write about their future rapes as well??

Imagine my surprise.

Who needs a TOS when you've got Canuck! Renders it meaningless!

because naked people don't attack schools on a biweekly basis trying to indiscriminately rape as many students as they can, equipped with high capacity viagra clips.

Statistics say you're wrong though.

And that is a reason not to regulate guns?

logical fallacy

 

[Sickofitall420247]

But for real if it's OK to have the schools have their students write about their future murder which is only a 1.4% chance why shouldn't we have them write about their future rapes that occur at 8.2% It seems that one is alot more likely to happen than the other. Color me shocked...shocked I tell you. Lmao.

 

[Sickofitall420247]

Then again we need to teach our kids self defense. Aggravated assault is rather high at 68.2% or maybe we can just ignore the more damaging crime against the ones that have the most media coverage.

The number you cite is a percentage of all crimes and has no meaning when taken out of context with overall crime rates. I'm embarrassed for you that I had to point that out. Overall, the rate of aggravated assaults are down 50% over the past 30 years.

That said, I'm listening. I too would like to see aggravated assault decline. What do you propose we do?

It's OK, he's busy right now. I'll ask him again when he has the time.

Your patience

i would guess they'll make up more fake statistics, and keep quoting things out of context, so it appears to support their position, if you only glance at it in passing...their bullshit never stands up to even a moments examination.

The point of my statement was that your previous argument was specious...So you made another specious argument to support your previous one...That is building a house out of manure on a foundation of straw.

The first reason would that mass rapes at grade schools aren't a thing.
The second reason would be that the two things aren't related to each other, and the teacher wasn't conducting a rape drill. The people perpetrating those crimes are probably not the same people, although i am sure there is some overlap.
Your entire argument is basically "whataboutism"..."Forget about what you're justifiably upset about, Something even worse could happen, what about that?!?"....well, what about that? does it change anything? No. Nothing...
Perhaps the teacher overstepped a boundary...I don't think so, but i can see how some small minded people might. I still don't see how it can be wrong to ask them to write their own obituaries when you're already asking them to cower in fear under a desk when someone comes to try to kill all of them. I think the teacher was trying to bring home the seriousness and the ridiculousness of the situation at the same time...but that seems to escape some people.
