Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Unless they're forced to live in the Fortress of Suck for the next 13 years of their lives and never, ever leave, there's still the bottleneck that will happen every morning and every afternoon as kids come to and from school. They'll be in a nice little stationary, single file line waiting to get into the building, or waiting for their children so they could leave.

I mean, the would-be murderer still needs to figure out how to kill large quantities of people standing in a nice single-file line and not moving. It's not like he'd have some kind of semi-automatic weapons easily available to them that can turn people into various splattermarks on the ground before they even have a chance to react, ri........oh.....

Yeah, basically you drop your kid off when they turn 6 and then they serve their twelve-year sentence...errrr, I mean education, and you pick them up again when they are released/graduate. They are allowed to have one visit a month though, but we can remove that policy, that way the only exposure will be on the days they're being dropped off and picked up. Given the distribution of birthdays, this should keep total numbers at any one priso... school low enough to make other targets more appealing for the would-be shooter.

I'm glad to have worked on this with you, and I'm glad that we've saved public education in the United States. Ohhhhhsayyyycanuuuuuseeeee

Actually, assuming an even distribution of birthdays, this would mean that populations at any one cam.....I mean school, of course....would be roughly evenly distributed. No deterrent for a would-be shooter who can just pick any school and expect similar results. No bueno. I think a better way of doing it would be to separate them by ~~race skin tone ethnicity~~ common background. Yeah, that's it. Common background. Because there's no racism or anything. Separating them by common background will make the groups small enough where even if the shooter does attack, at least the body counts will be kept to a minimum. I mean it's not like there's any other reason why a shooter may want to target people with certain common backgrounds, so we're just really protecting these kids while they're at these cam.....schools. So they can, uh, concentrate. Yeah. Concentration. That's the word of the day. We may be on to something here godblessamericalandthatIlove.......
