Incidentally, can we please stop with using the word "bullying" to describe interactions between adults? If you are an adult and you are troubled or hurt by "bullying", then you deserve to be subsumed into the biomass, so that your atoms can be put to a better use.

The thing about memes is that whenever there is a glaring grammatical error in them, it detracts from the message.

Nah I don't think someone from Poland should dictate my word choice in English.

Being able to attack someone's views and beliefs is not bullying - it is a cornerstone of democracy.  :huh:

And harassing someone over their identity is a form of bullying.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Ah no.  Simply because you like to engage in an activity doesn't stop it from being childish and cruel.

Thankfully I don't think I've ever had my opinions challenged. If I ever did I would cry like a little crybaby.

That is generally what you so when I take you to task.

I find it telling that people most opposed to "bullying" (Raz, garbon) are the ones who are mentally ill. But worry not, 5 more years like this, and "sanism" or "mentalism" will be considered a form of prejudice, too. After all, only because your brain is so chemically imbalanced, you cannot function without taking medication, does not mean your views or opinions are any less valid.

I'm the most opposed? At any rate, glad to see Marti is so well versed on mental illness. :lol:

I thought unbanning Mart was a mistake, and every day he posts I'm confirmed in that belief. He has little to add to the forum except bile, ignorance, arrogance, egotism, and lack of empathy well beyond other posters' "achievements".
