I dont believe in violence to stop them. One kid who was getting bullied in my high school fought back, won the fight, then got jumped after getting dropped off the bus by 5 of his friends, one of them with a baseball bat, and had to go to the hospital.

So yeah...

[up] If you kill someone's pet you're worse than a bully.

What the heck did the poor animal do to you? And yeah, human life disadvantaging is bad, but it doesn't give you the right to murder some dog who happens to belong to an asshole of an owner.

Two wrongs a right do not make.

The term "Great Man" is disturbingly interchangeable with "mass murderer" in history books.

If that is the only conceivable solution available to you, that would represent such a condition of degeneracy that it would need to be reformed as a priority.

^^Sorry, but you seemed to be defending killing a bullies pet. Looks like we misconstrued it.

EDIT: Well, they're cute, they can't defend themselves, and... well, thats it. The second one being the main thing that gets peoples blood boiling. Its like hurting children; its pointlessly picking on something at an obvious disadvantage, that can't fight back and probably can't really understand what is going on.

"Bullying, both physical and verbal, should be punished more harshly than now, but I'm afraid that harmless childish pranks could be confused with proper bullying and be punished too harshly." - Milos

Indeed. The more I think about it, the less I trust an education system that has so far failed to address this issue to ever address it. You can't squeeze blood from a turnip. I think it needs a drastic restructuring... or alternatively, maybe we could encourage homeschooling instead and save on fuel in the process.

I think you might want to pass on that kind of hyperbole in the future, because it's actually something that can happen. It's not as much of a joke as you might think.

At the least, try to work on your expression a bit more. I'm still not sure what the heck you were really trying to say.

Homeschooling isn't the right idea, not every parent has the time or ability to do so, plus they miss out on alot of social interaction.

Also about the pet thing (lets drop it now) people are more sensitive to the plight of pets, so its something people dont like joking about.

I guess it is sort of a question that should be asked. Is sibling rivalry considered "bullying"?

Guess not. I have no rational explanation, but I guess it's probably a critical part of all family relations.

Sometimes it can reach that level, though I doubt that the Wiggins Family dynamic is common.

I picked on two different bespectacled blonde boys in kindergarten and first grade. Karma's a vindictive whore.

I'm sure if you want to look up the writings on the subject you can find some answers people have given. I don't think anybody knows enough of humanity to give one true and absolute answer though.

I was (and currently am) the victim of regular bullying. To see people say people like me don't deserve help makes me somewhat angry.
