4. If you think ive been dodging questions I apologize. Im not meaning to. And you seem to be overreacting to bully "victims" you seem a bit sensitive to the subject. Perhaps you were bullied before, maybe you should have stood up for yourself. I have no sympathy for bully victims. EVERYONE gets bullied in some way or another. Deal with it.

Ah yes. When in doubt, use personal attacks against your debate opponent. That strategy is old as time. It's also invalid.

You're a psychopath. You lack empathy. Bullying is harmful and psychologically damaging. It does sometimes help "build character" (i.e. toughen kids up because they're afraid of being bullied) but it has long-term psychological ramifications as well. Please take a psychology class and get back to us when you've educated yourself properly on this subject.

1. So you think that every bully should be hit with a metal baseball bat over the head? Sounds pretty dumb to me. Also sounds like a bit of an overreaction to a bit of verbal abuse. Because he was picked on its okay to assault someone?

There is no correct response. Nothing about the situation is right. The bully started it and he must be dealt with.

How would you deal with him if you were the kid being picked on in the video? Would you fight him hand-to-hand? What if he was stronger than you? Let's even assume for the sake of argument that both of you work out but he has a larger build than you. He's naturally stronger because of his body mass. What do you do then? Do you still fight him hand-to-hand? How is that going to help you when you lose to him?

3. Yes Im all for sticking up for yourself. But using a weapon is just dumb. It can have dire consequences for the victim and abuser. This guy could have given the other kid brain damage. Is that really necessary over some school yard verbal bullying? I dont think so.

Is the school yard verbal bullying really necessary?

The kid is being psychologically tormented. He responds out of desperation. Clearly he is not thinking straight, but is it not the bully's fault for provoking him in the first place?


I'd fight him hand to hand if I was the kid being picked on. If I lost, well then hey I lost. But at least I stood up for myself. And I've seen bullies stop even after they've won the fight over the kid. Because just standing up to them gains respect.

It doesnt matter if hes not thinking straight. You dont hit an unarmed person over the head with a bat because he called you a name.

I actually had to take a psychology class as one of my prerequisites. And it was actually because of that class is why I thought you are a bully victim. I meant no personal attack, I was just pointing out the obvious. You seem really sensitive to the subject.

Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

A concussion, a broken jaw, and a knocked out tooth is a major injury to you? Come on now. Yes, I know about street fights. I grew up in Philly. I own a gun. But I would NEVER use it in a fight where my opponent is weaponless.

Why would you choose to risk injury at all when you're being attacked? It's not about masculinity or honor, it's about self-defense. Nobody will remember how macho you were for taking on Mr. Strong in a fist fight anyway, they'll just remember how stupid you were for thinking you could beat him.

You call it dumb. I call it smart.

Im not going to just stab or shoot an unarmed person in a fight.

Why?

because he has friends, family. Which will then in turn find me and kill me. Thats how things work.

At least if we fight (unarmed) there will be no bad damage and we both go home and were both alive. Win or lose.

We don't know what else he did. He may have beaten him up in the past or stolen his property or who knows what else. The fact that you're the only person vociferously defending the bully in this instance is telling.

I know he's trolling, but as I said before, I'm so shocked at the number of people that agree with his sentiments that I'll keep arguing the point against him anyway.

You should join TFS then, you can argue with him about everything.

Fairness is only possible within the limited powers of man. Elsewhere, there is only chance.

Yea, thats an unfounded correlation i dont want to hear to be honest. Its funny, when i carry, i am of the mentality, i will avoid all confrontational to the fullest degree, remove myself from the situation the best i can, and if one does happen, try to diffuse the best i can. Last thing i wish to do is draw, as ive trained myself to about dump a clip upon drawing.
