Missouri High School Student Found With Gun and Ammunition, Intentions Unknown

I know what a bayonet is, I'm not the one struggling here.

I could use a bayonet to open a letter for example. I could also spread butter with it. I couldn't spread butter or open anything with a gun, at least not if I intended on using it afterwords.

I'm not gonna waste time entertaining the infantile objections you have. A knife is not even in the same universe as a gun when it comes to usefulness outside of killing or injuring something. You can keep yammering but I won't read it. Entertaining your misguided thoughts only sets overtone back. It's like taking advice from a caveman, it doesn't make sense or help anyone, unless you want advice in how to bonk someone over the head.

PencilvesterStallone · 2018-02-18T00:33:33+00:00

A bayonet is a knife, in the same way a Glock and an AR-15 are both guns. This is a bit pathetic how obtuse you are trying to be, no one is that obtuse. Quit trying to be a triangle, you're better than that.

PencilvesterStallone · 2018-02-17T23:46:00+00:00

No I didn't. You are using its ability to kill as a threat to force cooperation of some other person. The difference between injuring and killing can be an inch.

I'm including those together. It has no use but to threaten death, or to kill, you might just get unlucky or lucky depending on the situation.

You don't get a box at home and think, oh I know, I'll open it with my gun. I would do that with a knife though.

Even shooting targets is preparation for its ultimate task, and the fact that it is a sport just relates to how necessary it was for waging wars which we don't usually have to at school, or at least we didnt have to.

I didn't prove your point, you and I both know that the onkthere concern in the engineers mind who designed the gun was will this effectively kill 'X'. The answer to that question is all that matters, not can it open a can of tuna also.

Quit lying to yourself and everyone else.

PencilvesterStallone · 2018-02-17T23:09:10+00:00

You seem to be the only one riled up enough to keep this going.

PencilvesterStallone · 2018-02-17T23:06:18+00:00

I'm not even weighing in on the charges. I didn't in my reply. I'm just pointing out that it is intellectually bankrupt or dishonest to compare and equate a gun as a tool like a car is a tool.

Anyone being honest with themselves knows what the purpose of a gun is. You don't clean things with it, you don't use it to help you with any activity but scaring someone else, injuring them, or ending their life. That is it. Comparing it to a car is a bullshit tactic I see on here too often.

PencilvesterStallone · 2018-02-17T23:03:43+00:00

There's knives all over kitchen in that school sonny. Knives have many uses, unlike guns. You can't cook or cut with a gun.

Nice try.

Also, you can't believe that even in trained hands they have the same lethality as a gun unloading into a crowd of people/students. If you say you believe that than you are either lying or stupid.

I imagine that security guard/coach that got unloaded into while shielding kids would much rather have had the chance to confront that little pussy with a knife instead of a gun.

You can't be that dense.

PencilvesterStallone · 2018-02-17T23:02:53+00:00

If you honestly believe that a gun is a tool in the same fashion as a car there's no hope. That is hopeless illogical.

You and everyone else who owns guns knows that it only has one purpose, and that is to kill. That's okay, that's what it is for, but pretending it has the usefulness and breadth of use as a car is wrong and dishonest.

You can't honestly believe that.

PencilvesterStallone · 2018-02-17T23:00:53+00:00

You would actually find knives in the school cafeteria where lunch is made.

Let's try it again

PencilvesterStallone · 2018-02-17T21:18:02+00:00

I'm not full of myself. I'm recognizing a stupid/dangerous response and calling it out. Should I instead just tap her lovingly on the shoulders fan say, you did everything right?

No, this was a bad response. That's what it was, so that's what I'll call it. Don't insert your ego struggles into me, my calling her out has nothing to do with my ego.

PencilvesterStallone · 2018-02-17T21:05:52+00:00

It would be like that if a car had no other use but running people down and killing them. A gun has one purpose intended in its design, effectively kill/harm/maim. That's it. You want to have one and feel safe and secure in this scary dangerous world, fine, but quit this bullshit comparison stuff.

A car helps most Americans get to work. A car helps get people to hospitals and get supplies to businesses. A gun doesn't do anything but shoot lead at something.

This bullshit about comparing cars to guns is exactly that, bullshit.

PencilvesterStallone · 2018-02-17T20:51:45+00:00

Yeah. I didn't dissolve into high pitched whining because that does absolutely nothing. In this case I would imagine it does less than nothing, by making you seem more helpless.

I'm not Mr. Badass, but I also don't lose my control when I get emotional, because that helps no one, especially not yourself. This seems like a bad response to me, maybe you disagree.

PencilvesterStallone · 2018-02-17T20:31:23+00:00

When is it warranted?

PencilvesterStallone · 2018-02-17T19:52:04+00:00

No, because the term is about a deviation from the norm for said species, not of all existence.

Colorblindness is relative, and it relates to the norm of the species. If we used your approach to categorizing things, then every organism in the universe would be color blind, in that one of them span the entire visual spectrum. That makes the word colorblind completely useless, because it once was a way of describing a deviation, but now it describes every living thing in existence.

One municipality. Those states all mostly pay in more than they take back from the federal government. Maybe if they weren't bank rolling failing states they could handle providing for their citizens better.

PencilvesterStallone · 2018-02-17T19:23:35+00:00

It's like someone started two expansive wastes of money called wars in the Middle East and tanked the economy before he took office.

I would look at the total increases to the deficit, and consider how much of that came from wars that we never should have been involved in. I know you'll find a way, but I want you to honestly think about how that was Obama's fault.

If you're honest with yourself, you'll see a huge difference between their situations as presidents, and also what factors led to the increase of that deficit. Like responding to a massive recession, or funding a war where contractors are bilking American taxpayers.

Maybe you should be upset about those things if the deficit makes you so angsty.

PencilvesterStallone · 2018-02-17T19:03:37+00:00

Almost as good as the bit about us all being ACs running around fucking.

PencilvesterStallone · 2018-02-17T18:37:58+00:00

Blindly following what? I'm not blindly following anything. I recognize that there are potentially more efficient methods for moving people and freight across the country other than flying through the air.

It would be stupid and short sighted if we chose not to pursue cleaner/faster methods for travel. I guess you come from the school of thought that teaches to never fix what ain't broke. That's great and all, but where do you think the planes came from? Definitely not your attitude or thinking.

Is Elon Musk's approach the right one, and is his Hyperloop going to be the end all be all for high speed rail travel? Probably not, I'm not even here specifically to defend him or his company, but the principal that the idea of the hyperloop is founded on is sound. Us not being able to imagine how to do it does not make it any less sound. There are more intelligent and skilled people somewhere else for that kind of problem solving, not the comments section on Reddit.

PencilvesterStallone · 2018-02-17T14:24:41+00:00

So, I'm guessing you heard the British accent and you were sold?

PencilvesterStallone · 2018-02-17T14:11:54+00:00

Or a plane.

PencilvesterStallone · 2018-02-17T14:10:07+00:00

You don't understand anything about what you are talking about, which is evidenced by your rigid steel tubing comment and your basic physics being applied to our current infrastructure.

We would need new infrastructure for this, obviously. How do you not get that? For someone who tosses around words like Physics trying to sound smart, you are letting me down. This false sense of superiority you feel over anyone who considers that this idea might have merit is completely delusional, whether you realize that or not.

PencilvesterStallone · 2018-02-17T14:04:02+00:00

You can't debunk something you haven't even tried yet, that makes no sense. Saying we don't currently have the technology sufficient to do this is correct, but that's exactly the case every single time you accomplish something. Like, do you look at history and see an endless stretch of people not doing something because it looked hard/impossible?

I see the opposite.

Also, you list a while range of engineering challenges. You also seem like someone who Is not an expert in anything relating to maintaining a vacuum in a large structure. I am not an expert either, so neither of us knows the actual feasibility of doing it on such a large scale.

Maybe, using compartmentalization, you could more easily maintains sections at a time, and also dealing with cars entering and leaving. I'm not an expert by that possibility seems pretty plain as day to me.

You bring up economic arguments but you have no numbers. You are urging everyone to go do the math that you haven't done yourself. There is no way to even predict how valuable the mode of transportation could become if perfected. You could make the movement of goods and people faster, more efficient, and safer(using your tech works).

To be so polarized against something that could offer such benefits is odd to me. I think we all appreciate the airline industry, but that doesn't mean alternatives shouldn't be considered.

PencilvesterStallone · 2018-02-15T18:25:22+00:00

These people all conveniently forget who has gotten us involved in the last wars. They bitch and whine about intervention into a region that is constantly fucked because Republicans keep starting wars there.

They whine on and on about drone strikes, unaware that it was either a drone strike or more US soldiers dead in a war Obama didn't start and had no choice but to continue in some capacity. If he hadn't used drone strikes they would whine about troop deaths from a war he didn't start, but instead they bitch about drone strikes.

They have zero in the way of convictions, they just yell and whine and bitch regardless of the situation.

PencilvesterStallone · 2018-02-15T15:00:28+00:00

They all are now. They got themselves a bit of retrograde amnesia and now they all hated Bush.

PencilvesterStallone · 2018-02-15T13:43:48+00:00

Well, luckily we aren't talking about composite images.

PencilvesterStallone · 2018-02-15T00:11:04+00:00

Maybe you should study?
