    I understand and empathize with the point you are trying to make. School shootings are the worst possible tragedies.

    That said, I still do not think we should shape school cell phone policies around the off chance of a school shooting (please do not chastise my use of ‘off chance’. The fact that it happens at all is too much, but I think the chance that it happens to any one school is still pretty low).

      The off chance?

      The mother fucking off chance?

      You know what an off chance was? Columbine.

      200+ years of American history, one bona fide school shooting.

      There are so many school shootings happening in America that news outlets just stopped reporting them.

      You, sir, can fuck right the hell off.

      Request to be exempt from being chastised denied.

        Maybe you should learn how to hold a normal discussion without attacking the other party. Cursing and telling the other party to fuck off just because they disagree with you will not convinced anyone of anything and will only make you look bad. It’s not like the person you’re responding to is advocating for school shootings or anything else immoral.
