      What a great way to dismiss an entire problems based that affects our society. It’s easier to just hand wave it away as someone else’s problem than to actually consider it…

      When a problem becomes systematic it’s now a societal and cultural problem and not an individual responsibility problem. Individual responsibility isn’t working so it’s now down to the society this is occurring in to solve the systematic problem in a systematic way.

      That’s how almost everything works

      Yeah none of those kids should have cell phones. They should be about old enough to drive before they get one even.

        but it doesn’t mean we ignore guns.

        Uuuh, you sure about that? It seems like that shit keeps happening and nothing at all is being done about it.

      Yes, but it’s also new territory for us as a species. I’m sure the guidance and monitors will be significantly improved in the next decade, but a decade ago… It was the wild west, baby.
