they also care about fetuses
The correct term is fetii.
they also care about fetuses
When an experiment goes wrong in the chem lab and a beaker blows up are we classifying that as a bombing? Jesus it's literally the action that's happening my godddd
these threads are pointless. we're all slaves to the NRA, gun nuts and old people.
all you can do is hug your kids
The point is, if you are trying to make the case that there are way too many school shootings (which is clearly a true point), why include things in the numbers which clearly are not "school shootings". All it does is give folks who desire to detract from the main issue the chance to do just that by poking those holes. If you use accurate and relevant statistics they don't have that opportunity.
And, when it is pointed out that the statistics you are using are not correct, it hurts the credibility of everything else you are saying.
when a gun is shot at a school, it is a school shooting. don't be obtuse.
well, that equipment is supposed to be on a school campus.

The only people who are saying this are trying to minimize the problem of school shootings. Everyone else is outraged about the problem.
So in your world if someone brings a bomb to school it’s just chemistry?
You're wrong here. I am outraged about the problem but I also really hate inflated statistics and outright lies. Just use the real stats - it shouldn't be hard to be honest and correct.
Right. If a beaker blows up, that's an accident. If a bullet goes through the window of school, that's not an accident. It's a problem that someone is shooting near a school.
Pretty spot on, tbh.
lol nihilism is fun what's the point
No it's not, and you know it. A school shooting, as everyone who is discussing the issue understands, is when someone goes to or into a school and shoots people on purpose. If you include anything else in the statistics (suicides without threatening anyone else, accidents, etc.) then you are being dishonest and hurting your own argument.
With all the "real" school shootings, why the need to inflate the statistics?
i've heard that's a misread on nihilism
