First of all, I do not know what this thing is about http://9gag.com/gag/aXb5qVb ... But I have noticed 1 thing. Why are they using the bright side for shielding ? That is sort of shouting "Warning, here I am" no ?

@critialcloudkicker That's an awful idea to begin with.

@northernnarwhal America seems opposed to the alternative, aka, remove guns from crazy people

@scoot They really like their Second Amendment there. Thankfully gun registration is more prevalent in Canada.

@northernnarwhal MURICA! We won't go down without a fight! I think the problem is that we don't have enough guns to stop the crazies. Sane people need to get on the ball and start toting. http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/184/f/e/happy_4th_of_july_by_bakki-d7p1eol.jpg

@northernnarwhal And training on how to use them for teachers.
Friday, 11-Jul-14 14:40:14 UTC from web -
@northernnarwhal Of course teachers need not actually be trained in gun use... I guess I got carried away there.. maybe just tazers.

@northernnarwhal *a little bit of googling* Now this would argueably be a better ( Abeit still rather dolety ) alternative methinks. Because everyone in school has a backpack, so it would be easier to instantly use. http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/768650

@critialcloudkicker It would really suck to be a tall kid.

@northernnarwhal ( is actully for badminton/tennis ) http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/768651

@critialcloudkicker It would be damn shame if that tall psychotic killer came and yanked that backpack from the kid.
Friday, 11-Jul-14 14:37:20 UTC from web-
@northernnarwhal It would be a damn shame if a psychotic killer came and had actual intent of killing this one kid. He/She is probably going to find him or her, and when he/she does no amount of protection appart from force-fields and other science fictiony stuff will help anyone
Friday, 11-Jul-14 14:39:11 UTC from web-
@critialcloudkicker Morale of the story, if you want to kill someone, armor does not protect ( period )
Friday, 11-Jul-14 14:39:39 UTC from web -
@critialcloudkicker I don't think a psychotic killer would walk into a school with a gun if they didn't have the intention of killing someone.
Friday, 11-Jul-14 14:41:30 UTC from web-
@northernnarwhal Kind of my point.
Friday, 11-Jul-14 14:42:54 UTC from web-
@critialcloudkicker I think the bottom line is that bullet proof backpack is silly and wouldn't work in practice.
Friday, 11-Jul-14 14:45:18 UTC from web-
@northernnarwhal The fact that since the start of this year there have been at least 30 people who conjured a plan of walking into a school with a firearm with intent to fire and executed said plan is the silly bottom line here. If you gave me the option to go to school with or without a shard of Kevlar at the back of my backpack or not, I would happily take the shard of kevlar
Friday, 11-Jul-14 14:48:46 UTC from web-
@critialcloudkicker It wouldn't really help in the long run, if the guy really wanted you dead he could easily overpower you.
Friday, 11-Jul-14 14:51:44 UTC from web-
@northernnarwhal Agreed, we need to take the guns away from people who shoot up schools, but since that is not happening any time soon I'd wager I would rather see a kevlar shard/mat in my backpack than nothing at all.
Friday, 11-Jul-14 14:53:46 UTC from web-
@critialcloudkicker It costs more and I still don't think it would make that much of a difference in the long.
Friday, 11-Jul-14 14:58:33 UTC from web-
@northernnarwhal I would buy my own Kevlar mat and sow it into my own backpack if needed be. It's a "Why do you never leave your house without a fork" kinda thing
Friday, 11-Jul-14 15:00:27 UTC from web-
@critialcloudkicker Probably because I'm not paranoid to do that sort of thing.
Friday, 11-Jul-14 15:01:23 UTC from web-
@northernnarwhal Some people are optimists, they take a happy stroll though the park and suddenly find themselves in a thunderstorm, get pneumonia and die. Other people are pessimists, they die due to stress. I am one of those people who takes a fork with them under the presumption "I would rather have a fork and not need it, and not have a fork and need it", I think of myself as a realist.
Friday, 11-Jul-14 15:06:28 UTC from web-
@critialcloudkicker Who the hell gets pneumonia from a thunderstorm, anyway? Also it's a question of pragmatism. I mean, if that's the case I might as well also start carrying around a life support machine with me everywhere I go on the off chance I suffer a heart attack.
Friday, 11-Jul-14 15:10:32 UTC from web-
@northernnarwhal Yes, only the life support machine would wreak havoc on your spine because you would need to carry it everywhere. Pretty sure a fork does not do that
Friday, 11-Jul-14 15:12:24 UTC from web-
@critialcloudkicker My point is that there is such a thing as overpreparing. Sure, it's better to have anything than the inverse, but I can't think of a good reason why I should be carrying around a bloody fork with me everywhere I go.

@northernnarwhal @critialcloudkicker At least the vital organs minus the brain would be shielded from the back.

@northernnarwhal Asside from that, it does not look like they had different sizes black/orange shields anyway
Friday, 11-Jul-14 14:36:59 UTC from web-
@critialcloudkicker If someone told me to wear that to school I'd probably tell them to bugger off.
