Indeed.  Hell, if we had to list in detail every single thing wrong with schools (esp. govco schools) we'd be here until the end of the year.  During which time there'd be that much *more* wrong with them.  So I guess the biggest thing wrong with the schools is that they even exist to begin with.

they're not ready for Ebola because Ebola is not native to the place.

besides, it's not like the black death: you have to be in contact with the victim's bodily fluids to be in any danger. And I've not heard of many cases of Ebola anyways (3 last I heard--all as far as I am aware contained).

Apparently #GamerGate must be bots...because they use computers.

A bot is not defined by location, but by activity.  Since the main source of #GamerGate tweets would be expected to be gamers, the most likely sourceplatform for such tweets  would be expected to be one suitable for games, of which by far the best for both gaming and tweeting is PCs.  (Phones are not generally well suited for tweets, as many of them lack a good way to enter text, and phones are honestly a lousy gaming platform, with small screens and generally awkward controls.  And I worked for Nokia when they were still pretending that phones were good enough gaming platforms to warrant the inclusion of their frankly awful gaming client.)

Not only that, but given the projection with the cries of death threats, would it surprise a single soul if they were the ones with the bots?

And given historical trends, the Feminist contingent is much more likely to be making death threats than getting them.
