    ah, i see, let's make it a joke. because tens of thousands of pointless deaths every year in the usa due to easy guns is a joke, not really a problem

    The evidence right now actually points to a prank meant get a rise out of teachers

    you are a lying scumbag

    to see the facts of this case, and write those works, makes you nothing less than that

    i pity anyone who has to interact with you in the real world, that instead of accepting real life evidence that goes against your ill-informed ignorant bigotry, you have to invent alternate reality delusions. someone in real life, a friend, a relative, a significant other,a coworker, is going to pay a heavy price for being around a person of such low slimeball character as you: "oh reality contradicts my position. that's ok, i'll just invent some lies and carry on rather than be honest to the world and to myself"

    this australian makes a mockery of all the retarded american arguments about guns so well:

    someday we will have sane gun laws in the usa. stupidity can't reign forever

    i'm not that smart and there's plenty in the world i don't know about

    but on this topic, and to whom i am talking to, i am indeed more intelligent and knowledgeable

    if you say my attitude doesn't help regardless, i'm not sure how coddling a propagandized moron helps either

    if you say something stupid, i'm calling you stupid. if you don't like that approach i take, you are free to not read my comments

    the number of defensive uses of fire arms is way way smaller than the number of accidents and tragedies

    that's the simple point

    most people just want to steal your stuff. you have a big head about yourself if you think hannibal lecter is lurking around every corner (and that you and your trusty gun will stop a genius, or even a moronic serial killer, who has the element of surprise)

    more likely, you turn a situation where you lose your tv, into a situation you escalate to mortal one, where you or someone dies oe is grievously injured. you're a perfect shot? your gun won't jam? you have the element of surprise? he has no accomplices? it is n't your jkid sneakin gin the window because he forgot his keys?

    nevermind the simple fact that even if i had a gun, i'd rather just lay in bed and go "take the tv asswipe, leave me alone or i'll shoot you" because i don't want to deal with the red tape of a dead guy in my house, nevermind having to clean bits of brain matter off my living space, and have to redo the wallboard. better to just lose the tv and get the insurance money

    but so many mouth breathing morons have a hard on with these dirty harry fantasies of stopping crime. it happens. it also happens orders of magnitude less than the accidents and tragedies. nevermind successfully killing a guy fucking sucks, just in terms of cleaning up that shit. which i would rather do less than lose a fucking tv

    it's a simple statistical fact that owning a gun increases the danger to you and your loved ones, it does not decrease it

    people who leave barrels of gasoline around their property don't suffer from fuel shortages, but they tend to have problems with inhaling vapors, increase in cancer, and the occasional accidental fire. it's a joke analogy but i have to make it because the propaganda around guns is so deeply ingrained simple reason on the topic disappears

    if you understand keeping dangeorus things around your living area might increase the danger to you, like barrels of gasoline, then maybe you can also understand the really simple concept that someone with a gun *may* be a hero in a crime situation, but is way way more likely to have an accident/ have a tragedy. the gun owner may kill his son sneaking in the window because he forgot his keys. is that more or less likely than stopping a crime? well, that's only one scenario, there are thousands more accidents and tragedies that can occur, all "acceptable" even though more likely, because so many morons think they live in a dirty harry movie

    guns don't protect you. they increase the danger to you

    ahmed was trying to do something constructive, in the STEM area. the usa is trying to focus on STEM education. and here's a kid who goes out of his way to do something on his own initiative in the area, and he gets treated like a criminal because of his race/ religion. that's why it is so egregious

    the other overreactions by school for stupid things happens too, and are fucking stupid and the school admins should be punished. but they don't merit an invite to the white house because they are a different topic

    like this:

    http://kfor.com/2014/08/21/stu...

    the kid wrote a short story about shooting a neighbor's pet dinosaur *as requested by his teacher*. and he gets treated like a criminal and suspended for a week

    that's obviously fucking stupid. the school admins should be punished, the kid should be apologized to

    but there's no anti-muslim hysteria angle, and there's no STEM angle. so it doesn't pique people's interests above the local area

    the usa is trying to encourage STEM education. and the usa has a problem with anti-muslim bigots. therefore ahmed's case rises to national attention

    ahmed's case is simply not the same as the other cases you mention
