That plastic spork thing Gus posted is not what the kid had. The kid had an actual case knift called the "hobo". The knife folds out, the spoon folds out, the fork folds out. It's metal.
Let's ban scissors! Because what are they? Just 2 knives fastened together by a rivot! You could gouge someones eye's out with that thing! Let's ban tacks! You could sit on one! Let's ban rubber bands, someone might get shot with a wedgie!! Let's ban compasses in geometry, they're too sharp! Let's ban life because someone might get hurt!
I'm sick of people factoring the "what ifs?" into everything. The entire populous get's punished for the sins of a few. Let's face it, accidents do happen sometimes, but that shouldn't prevent us from living life. The spork thing was not a weapon... it's a tool used for eating. Yes all sorts of tools can be used as weapons, baseball bats, hammers, screwdrivers, flashlights, shovels, pens, chainsaws, automobiles, ect. But does that mean we should ban everything?
What is this world coming to? What happened to common sense?
