Found a California reaper Seriously why do white people in California put avocado on everything? I feel that it's only good as guacamole.
#60 to #53 - bigbuttjackson (08/29/2015) [-]
Because avocado tastes good.
#95 to #53 - anon (08/30/2015) [-]
Avocado is amazing. It has fatty acids similar to fish, which are the best kind for the human body. Alpha-linolenic acid (an omega-3 fatty acid) and oleic acid are key fats provided by avocado. Avocados are a good source of pantothenic acid, dietary fiber, vitamin K, copper, folate, vitamin B6, potassium, vitamin E, and vitamin C.
Also, it's really creamy, and it goes well with Mexican food, which we eat a ******** of in California, especially SoCal.

that's not the point you ******* dick cheese. the point is that the school board doesn't allow pepper spray because they're considered weapons, and at the same time they don't consider knives as such which is a retarded logic on their part
#145 to #34 - anon (08/30/2015) [-]
Kitchen knives aren't weapons, they're tools ******* . If you want to ban every tool that can be used as a weapon, then ban all lengths of pipe, anything that can be swung, handcuff everyone so they can't punch people, shackle them so they can't kick people and put them all in padded cells away from each other.

Pepper spray has one use, to incapacitate another person. Knives *can* be used to harm someone, but their main intended purpose, especially kitchen knives, are for preparing food. You cunt.
#54 to #34 - anon (08/29/2015) [-]
Hey, why don't you stick a cocktail stick under your toe nail and kick a wall you inbred **** ?

My point is kitchen knives to a chef *aren't* weapons, because a trained chef who has any respect for his craft would never use their knives like that. Pepper spray has it's intended use to be used against another human being, there is no other use, you can't use it to spice up your ******* chili.

It's like baseball bats can be used to bludgeon someone to death, but you don't ban them from the baseball team because that's not their intended purpose. On the same note, humans aren't supposed to be ******* retarded, but you just have to go and be the exception don't you? ******** .
User avatar #56 to #54 - Silver Quantum (08/29/2015) [-]
it seems your single digit IQ makes it difficult for you to understand words you donkey **** gargling cunt nugget. the post isn't about what kitchen knives are to chefs. no ******* **** chefs don't think of them as weapons. the content is about the ridiculous perspective the school board has on a self defense product, labeling it as a weapon, when knives, regardless of their purpose, should be labeled as such just as well.

"It's like baseball bats can be used to bludgeon someone to death, but you don't ban them from the baseball team because that's not their intended purpose."

you mean like with pepper spray's main purpose being to defend yourself? and not to use it as a weapon to purposely harm another person?

you're easily one of the top 3 most ridiculously autistic people i've seen on this site

1. Knives aren't good for self defence against an attacker if you're untrained, especially if they're kitchen knives that are probably zipped up in a special case/bag
2.Kitchen knives aren't weapons
3.Pepper spray can be used easily by most people
4."they teach classes on how to break down animals easily with said knives" I don't think fending off an attacker using a knife is quite the same as jointing a ******* chicken

Having said that it's still stupid that they can't carry pepper spray.
#90 to #20 - anon (08/30/2015) [-]
I think the point here is that knives can be used offensively, hence the reason OP added the dismembering animals part.

I'll stab you with a kitchen knife then (since its not a weapon) and we'll see if your opinion changes then.

User avatar #59 to #20 - thatlittledoll (08/29/2015) [-]
I thought the point was that they weren't trying to defend themselves with knives, hence the pepper spray, but could use the knives to kill a person (nonattacker).
User avatar #22 to #20 - jzwangpk (08/29/2015) [-]
I agree, but it's worth noting that even if you're untrained, pulling out a big knife is probably going to give the attacker pause.

Yeah, good point actually
User avatar #35 to #22 - drpenguinz (08/29/2015) [-]
the point is: if you wanted to use your knife as lethal weapon you dont need to be trained, cause people dont expect that **** .
and also the attacker wouldnt attack with pepperspray. you dont use pepperspray as a weapon if you could use knives.

>Kitchen knives aren't weapons

Oh good, they're magically completely impractical as weapons now. Thank goodness. I was afraid someone might use a bat, any kind of wrench, a 2x4, or a brick as a weapon some day.

But since they weren't designed as weapons, we're all completely safe.

"Hm, rape is a serious enough crime, there's no way I'm going to get pepper spray and add in a possible school disciplinary hearing on top of that!"

girl way back when with a black belt or something got raped in an alley at her school. afterwards she requested that people be allowed to bring tasers and pepper spray with them because her defence training didn't help for **** .

Still a weapon though... Like, you can't advocate against guns and **** for self defense and then carry around ******* chemical weapons with you.
#11 to #8 - drewjitsu (08/29/2015) [-]
That's a false equivalence and has little to do with the post, which highlights the irony of the situation: They can carry loads of knives around with them everywhere but can't carry pepper spray because it's a weapon.
#15 to #11 - ByeliVolk (08/29/2015) [-]
Almost all of their knives in Culinary school are kept in a case just not on person. So for them to use the knife it would mean sitting the carrying case down opening it and then pulling out your selected knife and stabbing somebody with it. Where as pepper spray can be carried around on a ******* key chain and needs no training to be used and anybody over the age of 18 can buy it and have it on them legally.

If you buy a taser or pepper spray you must first be subjugated to it in order to use it so that you may feel the effect on yourself before you subjugate it to another person.

Also that is not a false equivalent. Pepper spray is a chemical weapon that is banned in warfare but is okay to be used in riot control and self defense purposes. So saying "We should ban all guns because they are dangerous and really easy to use / get a hold of." the same can be said for Pepper spray and tasers and those are even easier to get than firearms and no one thinks twice when using them because they fall under the whole mindset of Less than Lethal alternative. So no, it is not a false equivalence but a different state of mind when in use.
#16 to #15 - drewjitsu (08/29/2015) [-]
Okay we could break it down and pretend this is debate class, but it isn't, it was a joke. Aside from that, the false equivalence occurs when he draws parallels between guns and pepper spray. The assertion that you can't disapprove of firearms while condoning pepper spray implies that the two are equivalent, which they aren't. That's why it is a false equivalence.
#17 to #16 - ByeliVolk (08/29/2015) [-]
But I have just said in the last statement that they are equivalent since both can cause death, Justify to me the use of pepper spray that you cannot justify the use of a firearm.

I get the joke but what you said does not hold up when you think about things logically.
#45 to #17 - lolollo (08/29/2015) [-]
If I understand this right...you believe pepper spray can kill a man?
#46 to #45 - ByeliVolk (08/29/2015) [-]
Yes it can. it is in rare cases but it can kill people. It can kill people through allergic means or through other ways. It has been reported to happen though rare.
#114 to #46 - anon (08/30/2015) [-]
Well, in that case, we should ban banana cream pies to the face because, in rare cases, it can kill a man with a banana allergy.
User avatar #58 to #46 - lolollo (08/29/2015) [-]
Do you have sources for this? I'm just having trouble understanding the physical means it goes to kill someone. Capsaicin is an irritant, not an allergin.
#43 to #17 - drewjitsu (08/29/2015) [-]
Pepper spray killing is rare. Gunshot wounds have a much higher mortality rate. Now pull your head out of your ass and stop trying to be a douche. You know damn well that guns =/= to pepper spray and that getting shot is much worse than getting sprayed. The differences are severe enough that considering them the same is fallacious.

Here's what you're doing: Pointy knives can kill people, so can pointy pencils. Therefore any rules/laws/regulation pertaining to knives should also be applied to pencils.

That's just ******* stupid.
#47 to #43 - ByeliVolk (08/29/2015) [-]
The baseline question we had was this they are both weapons correct? if they are both weapons should they not have rules and regulation against them the same as guns. Both can cause deaths though one is more rare than the other. In no way did say that guns hurt less or more than pepper spray in anyway. Both are can be used to assault or defend one self. So the first argument is not totally invalid nor false equivalence both are weapons and both can harm a person.

Now insulting me does not help you at all. You use a straw man argument with pointy knives = pointy pencils and both can kill so they both need laws and regulations. What I am saying is that there needs to be more laws and regulations against pepper spray and tasers because of how easily they are obtained and how dangerous they are just like people say about guns. Its not about the kill counts its about how both are dangerous they are.
#67 to #47 - drewjitsu (08/29/2015) [-]
I call you ******* stupid because you're comparing pepper spray to guns and pretending that they're the same. You know that they aren't, so you're just being intentionally thick. Studies have proven that many people would rather win the argument than admit they're wrong, and will continue to hold on to a wrong belief for the sake of winning. I think you're one of those people.

Lets just take a look at the gun vs. pepper spray thing. Almost all deaths involving pepper spray, the victim had a medical condition such as asthma. The deaths involving guns don't discriminate. A well aimed shot will always be fatal, whereas the best aimed pepper spray never will be unless your target is already sick. A gun can hold loads of bullets, but even with 8 you can get 8 targets if you're a good shot. Shoot up a school with a gun and you can potentially kill as many students as you have bullets until the cops show up. Do the same with pepper spray and you'll be arrested for assault and everybody would be wondering if you actually meant to kill them or had just lost your marbles completely and thought the pepper spray was a flame thrower. As for my "straw man," i'm mocking you, dude, doesn't have to adhere to logic precisely....like the joke in the content.
#148 to #67 - ByeliVolk (08/30/2015) [-]
Okay ******* lets get one thing here. You are basically doing the same tactics everyone else uses to justify an argument and to prove they are right also. I think pepper spray is a weapon just like a gun. One is more severe than then the other but on a baseline both are ******* weapons. I am not dense I know guns are dangerous that is why I practice safe gun control and understand that it is a weapon that can harm or kill people if misused. I also think it is highly retarded to advocate gun bans but support the use of pepper spray and tasers for the use of self-defense since on the baseline they were developed for the exact same reason weapons of self-defense. Now can pepper spray kill an entire school that would be a no. Can a taser kill an entire school that would be a no. Could you kill an entire school with a gun? maybe but that is a lot of ammunition and hopefully not getting mobbed by people and beaten to death.

The only thing I am trying to get through to you is that they are not false equivalence both can cause deaths though one is much more rare then the other and both are weapons on the baseline regardless of what happens when used.
#149 to #148 - drewjitsu (08/30/2015) [-]
Pepper spray and guns are different enough that they need different regulations. Regardless of your opinion, the fact remains that pepper spray and guns are not equal. What is the effective range of pepper spray? how about a gun? It is illegal to discharge a firearm in city limits (in my hometown at least), is there any reason that should also apply to pepper spray? All handguns must have a permit, does pepper spray need that as well? How much would that cost to implement? If they are truly that equivalent, we need to step up our pepper spray laws.

C'mon dude, stop being dense. Although, maybe I'm being dense and just feeding a troll here. I mean, who really thinks that an irritant and a bullet are the same?
#156 to #149 - ByeliVolk (08/31/2015) [-]
Listen the baseline question to the initial argument was simply this they are both a weapon, both can be used in assault and in self-defense, both have been able to cause deaths. They are both designed to be weapons though I view the firearm more useful because it can be used to hunt and bring in meat to supply with food which Pepper spray cannot. I am not being dense in the least here. I am not arguing the factor that guns have a higher mortality rate than pepper spray nor did I bring up that fact at all that has been you. If everything was based on numbers and amount of deaths related to it than the were would be such an uproar about banning cars and greasy fatty foods which cause more deaths by themselves than firearms in America. Ultimately it is up to the user on how the damn things are used and it is not always used for its intended purpose regardless.

I am doing a simple x=y comparison which is gun=weapon and so does pepper spray=weapon so if both x's equal the same thing they are equivalent to each other. You are adding in ******* extra variables that are not even apart of the initial statement. On the baseline both are WEAPONS both of which can be used for self-defense. I find it idiotic to try and ban guns but keep pepper spray since both can be used to either assault someone or for self-defense.

Yes I do call for more stringent matters in the case of pepper spray and tasers. They are easier to get and even on college campus some groups go around and hand out the key chain ones like they are ******* candy. These have been used to quote unquote passify potential rapists but some people are so ******* paranoid or do not take it seriously and think nothing of it when they simply pepper spray someone because they felt threatened. Being hit with pepper spray for walking up to somebody and them spraying you because all are doing is asking a question is ******* ridiculous. I view we should have the same restrictions on them as we do with guns aka background checks before purchase the implementation would be extremely cheap and cost next to nothing to do. Also in the case of less than lethal weapons I view that you have to have it tested on you first so you can understand what you are doing to the person when using it just like I support the idea of going through a firearm training course in order to own a firearm. And in order to carry pepper spray and a taser which are both easily concealable I view you should have to have a concealed carry permit which is a more intrusive background check done by the police in order to own them. So what I am getting at is since they are both dangerous if used incorrectly they should both be subjugated to many of the same laws in order own, posses, and carry them just like we do with firearms.
#158 to #156 - drewjitsu (09/02/2015) [-]
Here's where you're flawed. Guns = weapons and pepper spray = weapons, therefore they are equivalent. Here are some other weapons: Cannons, knives, halberds, bazookas, IED, hand grenade, flamethrower, tank, mortar, javelin, swords, axes, atlatl, rungu, bola....the list is huge. Anyway, all of these things are equivalent? They are the same? They all fall under the same category?

Lets just take two: Knives and guns, both weapons. Are they equivalent? No. Guns are projectile weapons that harness the power of miniature explosion to propel a hunk of metal through such things as skulls, hearts, windows, doors, walls and with the advances of modern tech, damn near anything you want them to shoot through. Knives are sharp metal. Capable of killing only at close range. Nowhere near equivalent.

Guns =/= pepper spray. Honestly this is common ******* sense, I don't know why I keep taking the bait.
