She’s a lib.

Rule 1 in every lib book is: “It’s somebody else’s fault.

Rule 2 is “The govt can fix it.

Oh, she’s also stupid - but then again, we all knew that, didn’t we?

The problem with Jamie was....he didn't know what he was. So here come the gays...insisting he's gay. Disgusting.

My best guess...Some gay dude messed with this kid and really screwed him up.

I was bullied by a guy in Junior High until I had had quite enough. While we were running to gym, and he was poking me in the back, I whirled around, gave him a right uppercut to the jaw that sent him flying.

He never bothered me again.

Works like a charm!

“Hey Lady Gaga, Kids Have a Time-Tested Answer for Bullies: Punch Them in the Mouth”

I know it sure worked for me! Once I got punched in the mouth, I stopped bullying! j/k

But seriously, I had a good friend in elementary school through 8th grade named Phil. Skinny kid w/o much ability to defend himself. In the 9th grade, he shows up on day one of freshmen year in a skirt, blouse, make-up, jewelry....turns out he’s a gay/crossdresser. That was the first day he got the *hit kicked out of him.

The next day he showed up in the same crossdressing manner. Now, we lived in a redneck logging town. You just did not do this kind of crap back then and expect nothing to happen to you. He was once again getting his skinny azz thrashed when I’d seen enough.

I stepped in and took out the knee of one guy, hip checked another into the lockers and was going to grab the third when someone kicked me in the back of the head, knocking me out.

When I came to in the nurses office, alongside the ignorant *uck whose knee I destroyed, Phil was sitting there.

I told him that I believed that he had a God given right to wear whatever made him comfortable, but that just because he has a RIGHT to wave the red flag in the face of the bulls, it has proven to be a really stupid thing to do. If he persisted in dressing like that anymore, I was sure as hell not going to defend him again.

He never cross-dressed in school again and left town the day after graduation. Our friendship ended the day of the fight but I like to think that I had a hand in keeping him from getting beaten to death.

Yep... same here. I got bullied and picked on up through the seventh grade when I’d finally had enough and responded to a bully by bloodying his face pretty good. Nobody ever bothered me again. That was the last fight I have been in.

Homosexuals have gained great power in eternal victimhood. It is magic the the smallest percentage of bullying is magically enough influence to make every instance of bullying or of something worse an example of how gays alone are being affected. I resent thir emotional approach that leads the simple to believe them. If you are against their tactic you are against ALL people suffering but especially gays.

In their CHOSEN behavior they have to keep convincing people they are somhow the constant victim and it gets their CHOSEN behavior codified in law so it constantly gets protective status. It then becomes that your disagreement with them = hate. Their efforts WILL in time have people in jail for daring to call homosexuality wrong...

Which is most definately IS.

This is thought police stuff. I have never harmed nor worked against any gay I have ever known, but that is for not...disagree with their CHOSEN lifestyle and it = hate and MUST be treated as a crime.

I used a second solution.

My kid REALLY didn’t want to fight, so I encouraged him to become friends with the scrappiest Irish kid I knew. It worked beautifully.

My kid never had to lay a hand on anyone (unless he wanted to, and you know, defending yourself is catching), and the Irish kid had a ton of excuses to get into fights, which he thought was just great.

I had a similar experience but I took a different tactic.

When I reached the boiling point after being bullied and picked on by an upperclassman (I was in 7th grade) I did go to the principal's office. However, I did not whine and complain. I simply stated what was going on and if something wasn't done, the next time, I was going to unload on the bully and clean his clock but good. I let a little rage slip across my face while saying this.

The principal nodded, thanked me for the warning and asked if I would then please get to my next class.

Never had a problem again...until high school when the kid decided to start in on me again. Then I did unload with no warning.
That was 35 years ago. I doubt it would work today.

“It certainly worked with Farkus”.

I LOVE that movie. Yes.. it appeals to anyone (all of us) about bullies and just how to handle them. (and for those among us that like dares... it teaches not to lick a frozen flag pole)

It was like back in the day in Catholic schools, if two guys had a beef, the priest would give them both boxing gloves and they would fight it out, and in the end, wind up respecting each other.

Between you and me... my son’s football team still has a policy similar. If you have a beef and can’t resolve it, the coaches will take you off campus and let you resolve via fighting. Thus far, no one has taken the coaches up on the offer but I don’t see anything wrong with it.

Aren’t Lady GaGa’s 15 minutes of fame about up? Her album sales are in the tank so she has to use this kind of grandstanding to get attention. Who gives a rat’s posterior what Lady GaGa has to say about anything.

The whole “bully crisis” has been really irritating me. I mean yeah it’s sad when a kid kills themselves, and it sucks if they think they were driven to it by bullies, and bullies do definitely suck. But really how were these kids gonna cope with reality? I mean if some mean dumb kid can make you want to end it how are you going to handle the parts of life that REALLY suck, like being dumped, being fired, and burying your parents. Being bullied gives you the emotional callouses you need for a future life which is guaranteed to have some really bad moments that will make you look back at those years with the bullies as the best days of your life.
