Fail Quotes

Really? This is considered a solution for school shootings?

Let's look at this shall we?



Okay, so look at these "blankets." They barely look big enough to be a beach towel, let alone enough to cover a kid to prevent them from getting shot. Secondly, how the fuck would this stop a guy from shooting these kids even if these blankets were actually big enough to cover them? What would prevent a psychopath from just taking the blanket off of them and shooting them? Thirdly,do you not trust teachers with guns that badly that you'd rather have kids hide in a shell like a turtle?

Fucking dumb.

No dumber than telling us to hide under our desks if there's a nuclear attack.

No dumber than telling us to hide under our desks if there's a nuclear attack.

Actually, it is dumber.  Being under your desk might provide significantly more protection from a nuclear attack (depending on the range and force of the blast you were subjected to).  Trying a purely passive defense against an intelligent, active attacker is simply not going to work.

I would find it acceptable if they were given those blankets nailed/glued to a solid bullet-resistant backing, a boss, and a grip.

at that point, we get a convenient ballistic scutum with which to ram to death the bugger with the gun.

even then, it is still not a bright idea. just let people defend themselves however they wish.

You're telling me a nuclear blast--which is going to come from the side--is somehow going to be less if we're under a desk rather than on top of it?

First, the blast will tend to come from above as well as the side, since it would be an air burst.

Second, every school I've ever seen has windows only above the level of the desks.

Third, the more supportive structure you have over you in any event that's likely to dislodge chunks of the structure, the better. (This also applies to earthquakes, where doorways are generally a good place to be since they are more heavily built than other sections of walls in conventional construction, and things like tornadoes, where under a desk or a table is preferable if you don't have a room solid enough to hide in, and, obviously, under a desk or table in a really solid room is best.)

No, it's an expanding spherical shockwave from the point of the explosion. Unless you're near ground zero (in which case you'll be vaporized), the bulk of the blast is going to come from the side.

You can see it beautifully in this footage:

Notice that the blast comes from the side, EVERY TIME. It even pushes a bit upward, lifting off roofs etc.

Second, every school I've ever seen has windows only above the level of the desks.

Windows are irrelevant. Look at the footage.

The LAST thing you're worried about in this case is stuff falling on you! Besides, check the footage: the houses further from the blast had roofs intact but sides blown in!

And now there's Phil Stilwell here:

[yt]Nv881KOdMD4[/yt]

Notice how he pulls out every statist tactic in the book while claiming to be on our side. The conversation goes pretty much as predicted.

I lost it when he explained away the rape of prisoners by guards to make it not count.

And of course, the usual, "Now I'm just trying to be your friend/I'm just neutral here." rriiiiight.  Like the creationists who start out with, "Now, I'm not a creationist, but..." on your anti-creationism videos.

And neither are you.

And neither are you.

Good grief.  So lady, how about we stop the bogus funding of loans or even better, just get govco out of the education business.  That way the price goes down thus eliminating the need for these stupid loans to begin with...

wasn't mass shootings even more infrequent prior to the 70s?

Jesus Christ Is The Almighty Creator † King James Bible Colossians Chapter One (long isn't it) says.

Kent Hovind truly shows the impossibility and foolishness of evolution imaginings.
Excellent and entertaining! \0/
Like his humor too! TRUTH LIVES!!!

Im sorry but evolutionists have to be the saddest people on earth. To live such a fanatically religious lifestyle as to believe in brainwashed anti-science those of which completely violate all the laws of thermodynamics, in an open or closed system is beyond gullible. "macro-evolution" is anti-reality. This is why atheists are not even sure if they exist. Please wake up zombie America, maybe its not to late for you.
