Ok, So going off of that. You feel its okay that bully victims at columbine shot up the school and killed the bullies correct?

I feel bad for bullies. I feel bad for anyone who gets injured by a weapon when they are unarmed.

Sigh facepalm bertface.

No.

That is not at all what I said. Your reading comprehension skills are appalling.

I feel bad for bullies too, but for different reasons. They're usually driven by a desperate need to validate their own self-worth. It's basic psychology, I mean basic psychology. You learn this stuff as a freshman in college. People with high self-esteem become aggressive when their self-esteem is challenged by someone they view as inferior to them and they also feel the need to maintain their self-esteem by demonstrating their superiority to others by picking on "inferiors."


Yes I know. Like I said, I took psychology. I've bullied, I never needed to "validate" anything. I did it because it was fun and funny.

doesn't mean to say that you can't keep the good whilst stabbing the bully's eyes out with a pen.


Gosh I hope you aren't serous.

A man goes to the zoo, and finds an 8-foot long stick. He uses this stick to poke a tiger in its cage from 7 am to 7 pm. He goes home, wakes up, goes back to the zoo, and does it again. He starts doing this every day. No one asks him to stop or prevents him from doing it.

The stick hurts the tiger, but it doesn't do anything. The man just keeps poking it, for two years straight, 7 am to 7 pm every day. At the end of the two years, the tiger breaks out of its cage and mauls the man severely.

Do you feel bad for the man?

I'm not sure what makes me more uncomfortable:

- the fact that you did it because it was fun
- or the fact that you admit you did it for no other reason

The bully is not responsible for their victim's specific decision to slam them with a baseball bat, but they are responsible for creating the psychological conditions that led them to resort to extreme violence. This is why people do not feel bad for bullies.

They are not blameless. They bring it upon themselves.

Didn't your mom ever tell you not to play with fire? You never know when it might burn you.

Let me spoon feed this for you, kay?

Bullies aren't responsible for the actions of the Columbine shooters. BUT, they're responsible for the harassing that turned the victims's minds to be unstable and ultimately brought them to commit these atrocities. Nobody is justifying the use of lethal force against bullies, but they simply brought it upon themselves for messing with the wrong people.

It was fun. Sorry, just telling the truth

And there was really no other reason. If there was, I'd tell you.

It was fun because you were validating your own self-worth.

I'm sorry. I usually don't resort to flaming, but I have to say this.

You are either an idiot or a psychopath. Either way, you're a terrible person and you lack any sense of self-awareness.

School yard bullying =/= getting shot by a butthurt geek

If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

Brighten your day with science.

That genuinely makes me concerned about your mental well-being. Anyone that harasses another person simply for fun has some serious issues.

I dont have to validate my self worth. I already know my self worth. Im a great guy, very worthy.

Idiot? Nah, Ill have a dual degree in Physics/Management
Psychopath? Dont think so. Ive never had any mental problems.

But no, Im not a terrible person. I can guarantee you that ive done more good for society than you have.

I was just young. And when I was young, It was fun to pick on kids when my friends.

You can't simultaneously be a "great guy" while bullying people and cheating on your significant other.

So, it was fun to harass others and probably make them feel like s**t, and you had no concern about the mental trauma or emotional damage you could've possibly inflicted...dude, even I know you've got issues. Do you know how bad that is? Assuming you're not lying.

I really am not. These things happen all the time but when it's to a bully I fully advocate it. I've been stabbed by pen and kicked in head and trust me it ain't nice...

Both answers are no. But I have in my past.

High self-esteem, check.

There are different types of intelligence. That's why doctors are (stereotypically) terrible at writing. Being good at physics says nothing about your ability to argue a point. Also, management is a joke. Try accounting or finance and then I'll be impressed.

Posted by: DatDudeBVBut no, Im not a terrible person. I can guarantee you that ive done more good for society than you have.
Ad hominem. You know nothing about me.

Meanwhile, my assertion that you're either an idiot or a psychopath is based on your total lack of reading comprehension skills as well as your seeming indifference to the suffering of others and/or belief that you're somehow doing them a favor by bullying them.

Yeah man I was a HORRIBLE person for cheating on my girlfriend and bullying kids in highschool.

You might as well throw me in jail. Im worse than a murderer.
