Remember Columbine ?

I was a bullied fat kid.
I stood up to my bully, so he got help.
Two days later, I took a shot at him with a rifle.
I think I missed on purpose,  but wanted that control of his life in my hands.
See how these things can get out of hand ?

Then he grows up to be a teacher so he can continue to "rule the school" and pretend he has power over people that are "lesser than him"  (savages).

In the spirit of learning leadership through Lucie's bullying model, I would just like to take the time to single out you two geniuses IOT belittle your intelligence, but you're both probably too stupid to understand I'm doing this for your own good. Additionally, I don't want to hear either of you two whining because I'm not politically correct about your "feelings."

You may be surprised about how I feel about bullying.

You should know, what is the correct term used by the PC correct liberal a-hole these days?...vertically challenged and weighty?

Why were you bullied btw?

(02-10-2016, 02:22 AM)oncemoreuntothejimbreech Wrote: Uh, yeah ya did state your position, genius. It wasn't because you wrote "short and fat". It was because you attempted to make fun of someone else for being bullied. I don't need you to lie to me about how you feel about bullying when your actions speak louder than words. 

(02-10-2016, 02:48 AM)Vlad Wrote: LOL, man you are slow. So if it wasn't about me writing "short and fat" then in what other possible way was I making fun?

Also genius... you could read my words but what exactly were my actions? A brilliant piece of work that was.

Let there be no question though, I am making fun of you.

You stood up to your bully.   You grew from that expierence.... Which everyone needs.   You can't get bullied for the first time as an adult.    You will have no idea how to deal with it .....   All kids are taught now is to run for an adult.  So we will have adults running to their boss when it happens.   For Some things you just need to stand up yourself.

How will they learn to get back up after they fall?  How will they build character?  How will they learn coping skills? How will they learn how to stand up for the weak? Or any of that other silly bullshit you wrote? So good job of robbing them of their opportunity to learn how to stand up for themselves.
