          Good thing poor people have access to public libraries. I know from experience.

              Sounds like a bigger problem than schools monitoring the use of devices issued to children.

              Might want to get that sorted.

                The point is that your argument falls apart considering it kept being propped up by your assertion that kids can just use the library computers if they’re too poor to have a computer at home.

                But that doesn’t matter; you’re not actually here to debate in good faith.

                “When our position on an issue is no longer based on curiosity and the desire for the truth, but a desire to win a debate. When someone reaches this stage of discourse, there’s no need to try and persuade them.”

                  That wasn’t my argument, and is still a viable option. Libraries still exist.

                  My point and argument was: It is the schools decision on what happens with school hardware.

                  Have any thing to say to my point without being combative? Or do I add you to the pile of people not worth interacting with in the future?

                    That’s a lie. You used that as an argument twice (that I saw, maybe more).

                    You: No one is forced to use a laptop. Libraries exist with free internet access and computer.

                    Also you: Good thing poor people have access to public libraries. I know from experience

                    My point and argument was: It is the schools decision on what happens with school hardware.

                    No, I didn’t argue with you about that. That was an argument you were having with multiple other people. I just called you out on the fact that what you were claiming about libraries is not always true for everyone. I cited my source and proved you wrong. Yet you still seem to want to argue so you decided to change the subject of our debate.

                    Have any thing to say to my point without being combative?

                    I already said what I wanted to say. Unlike you I don’t feel the need to argue about everything.

                    You have been antagonistic toward everyone in this post that you’ve interacted with. What makes you think anyone would have any respect for you enough to be polite? If you are combative then people will most likely be combative in their replies.

                    Or do I add you to the pile of people not worth interacting with in the future?

                    I find it somewhat sad that you keep saying that to people you get tired of debating. You say it a lot. Please feel free to add me to that list. I’ll survive.
