A knife is a tool, that's it. Our media in this country has painted knives on TV and in movies as things used for killing by thugs and criminals. A hammer or a shovel can kill too, lots of tools can. So why can I use a hammer or a shovel at work and have nobody complain or get scared? What's so scary about a knife? It's a fucking tool, and a very good one at that.
Why /out/? Why is everyone so fucking scared of pointy metal objects?
