Romney's Bullying/Gay Bashing High School Days

[Razgovory]

Did you feel good bullying people?

Well, yeah.  Isn't that the point?

FWIW, I guess I never really physically bullied.

I have no idea why you assholes do anything.

[Malthus]

Gah, speaking about HS and rockers brought on a wave of nostagia. I wonder whatever happened to that one rocker chick I was heavily into.

She was dumb as a bag of hammers but she was drop-dead beautiful. Probably covered in tats all wrinkly and sagging and working on her third husband.

I love Hans, he can trivialize the damning and make damning the trivial - all depending on who it is aimed at.

I know it is hilarious.  Does he really believe his own bullshit?

He is the anti-Raz, or Raz is the anti-Hans.  Anyway, if they ever meet they will explode in a fountain of crap.  If scientists examine this event correctly it will display new political particles that will further the advancement of bullshit by thousands of years.


-edited so it actually makes some sense

I don't think he's anywhere near Raz on the insanity scale.   Raz is actually capable of reasoning, Hans is just a propaganda drone with zero ability to comprehend anything not covered by daily GOP talking points he rote-memorized.

The more I think back, it may even be a stretch to call what I did bullying.  It was more just teasing/goofing around, with a prank here & there, and a lot of times it was a two-way street.

I was bullied by the same kid from 3rd grade to 9th grade...my parents were constantly getting nowhere with the school and his mother for years.  Drove my parents nuts.  Drove me nuts in fear.  First week of school from 7th to 9th grade was the week I determined my paths to class, in order to avoid him.

The bullying ended the day he was giving my shoes blowouts from behind on the way back to class from lunch, and after telling him a couple times to stop and he wouldn't, I turned around and stabbed him in the face with a fucking pencil.  I actually tried to put it directly through his cheek, but it just sort of glanced off his cheekbone and just went under the skin.

Only caught 1 day suspension, which my parents had absolutely no problem with.  Not with never getting anywhere with school for years, not with that bastard.

That was the last day I was ever bulllied by him, or anybody else for that fucking matter.

So there's a lesson there, kids.

You guys say that, but very often nobody will challenge any of the substance of what he's saying.  You just call him names & make it known that certain opinions are not welcome here.

The only knock I have on Hans is that he sometimes resorts too quickly to name-calling.  Not that he's the only one here guilty of that.

Fascinating war story, Siege.

There was no bullying at my HS. We didn't eat paste either.

[Sheilbh]

I wasn't bullied and I never bullied.  I was a class socialist, I'd always be willing to get into arguments with teachers but I don't remember ever being cruel or pranking them - like walking a blind guy into a door.

Having said that no-one should be judged for what they did at high school.  But I still think Romney's lying when he says he doesn't remember this.  He should have said 'yeah this happened, I'm sorry to those, but I was a jerk at high school - that happens'.

You guys say that, but very often nobody will challenge any of the substance of what he's saying.  You just call him names & make it known that certain opinions are not welcome here.

I'll argue substance with people, if I think there's actually a dialogue going on and our minds could be changed.  I don't think that's the case with Hans.

Edit:  There was bullying at my high school and I just largely ignored it though

He's almost always challenged in the substance of what he's saying.  I just did.  Last time he showed up he got trounced when he was going on about illegal combatants.  His statements were factually and legally incorrect.  There is a clear pattern with Hans.  He makes some claim, it gets debunked and he skulks away.

Is there anything to challenge?  Back when Hans's rabies was still in the incubation stage, people did try to debate him on substance, only to realize that it was like arguing with your TV (tuned to Fox News, of course).  These days he really needs to be put in a straitjacket, he's become just a worthless retard spammer.

Goddamn 

When I was in first grade two of my best friends started picking on me every morning at the bus stop.  Not sure how it happened, other than the fact that they lived across the street from each other & were for a time a little closer to each other than with me.  Anyway, it went on for three weeks and was progressively getting worse. 

Finally one morning as the bus was pulling up and we were getting in line, one of them got a little too close to me as he was calling me a name or something.  Without even thinking, I snapped and punched him as hard as I could in the face, giving him what later became the mother of all black eyes.  I'l never forget his immediate reaction of laughing for a couple seconds before he realized the pain, then bawling uncontrollably.  My other friend just looked like he had seen a ghost.

The bus ride to school was interesting-- the other first graders and second graders were too scared to talk to me, and the third graders started telling me about the paddle the principal had in is office.  I knew the safety patrol saw the whole thing, so I had a feeling of dread all morning all the way up through my slow march of death from my classroom to the principal's office. 

I must have looked awfully upset, because the principal showed some mercy on me & calmly told me that fighting was never the way to settle any disputes.  I knew he was full of shit but played along.  Ended up getting no punishment whatsoever, and a couple of days later I was getting along with my friends again as if nothing ever happened.

The only other time I got picked on was my first year of high school, but that was just some of my brother's friends (he graduated the year before I started HS) giving me shit for the first couple of months.  Ended up being almost like an initiation-- I tolerated it and after a couple months they not only left me alone but let me hang out with them.

Heh, I might check it out - if I could remember her last name.  There's always the yearbook ...

It's one of the regrets of my mis-spent youth that I came *so* close to having sex with her, only to mess everything up ...

  Yeah, pretty much.
