My brothers and I were the anti-bullies in our schools. We would not allow it in our presence. In today’s world of zero-tolerance of any trait suggesting manhood or masculinity, we would not have graduated.
We are raising a generation of wussies. I particularly am incensed by the “I won’t stand for” ads. Oh really? You won’t stand for something? Riiiiiight.
We need to remove the dick-licker from office and return to American values, accomplish conflict resolution through self-governance in school and the workplace. Bullies were not permitted by the so-called bullied. There were always more than a few of us who were willing to kick some a$$holes a$$ when needed. And, there was no one to tell us we weren’t “appropriate”. The teachers knew we were merely self-regulating our environment. The teachers appreciated that we did.
I agree with what you’re saying here, but in this particular case, the driver was aggravating whatever the situation was by egging on other students to mock this girl. Last I checked, the driver’s job was to drive fecking bus, not harass kids.
Please tell me where you’re going with that post…..I mean, on the surface, I agree with a lot of what you said, but I don’t see it applying here. Do you really think the problem is the wussification of little girls? I don’t think so. We have a wuss problem, but I don’t think little girls are where we need our macho on.
I was in 3 fights in my school daze, first was in 6th grade to stand up to a bully, they next 2 were in 7th and 10th grade defending someone else from bullies. In none of them was I penalized, today I would be suspended, arrested, and charged.
