You just did...I admit, I do.

I was going to call your 'choice' that exact thing, but decided to be more polite and point out the error involved in your example. Can't you see it? Or, do you not wish to see it?I'm calling bullshit slick.
well, if were to be certain it would happen(which I am not), I would choose the teachers defending the class. But, Buzz, don't you see how reality gets in the way of your example? What is a teacher panics, or worse, a bunch of them? Result-a hail of gunfire, killing more and prolonging the onslaught? What if no one attacks, but one of the teachers loses it? More chance for more dead kids. What is a teacher gets careless, and a 9 year old opens up with a handgun by accident? More dead. It's sort of like what they say in football about running a pass play, more bad things can happen than good. Except this is no game, we're talking about the day-to-day safety and education of little kids. And, to return to my core assumption, arming teachers is a REALLY STUPID idea.Buzz wrote:No matter the odds of it happening. It still could happen, and you refused to answer.
By that example? It seems their would be a "track record" of Israeli Teachers running amok......callmeslick wrote:well, if were to be certain it would happen(which I am not), I would choose the teachers defending the class.
