Students wear pink to fight bullying in school
Canada.com ^ | February 25, 2009

Nanaimo students will wear pink today, along with tens of thousands of British Columbians, to show they will not tolerate bullying.

As part of a provincewide campaign, Wednesday has been recognized as a day to don pink to deliver the anti-bullying message.

The protest started after an incident at a Nova Scotia school in September 2007, when a Grade 9 high school boy was harassed, called a homosexual and threatened after wearing a pink polo shirt on his first day of classes.

"tens of thousands of British Columbians? good grief. That’s a lot of fags.

There are the descendants of Vietnam war draft dodgers, who, through excessive dope smoking and excessive tofu munching, gave birth to generation of fags. They were probably still born normal, except they were genetically "weak", and because of nanny state, whiney, "it's ok for little boys to play with dolls and dress up in mommys clothes" and forced tofu meat free diet kind of parenting, turned their offspring into fags.

And people ask me why I left Vancouver BC. Here’s a good example why...

Not to mention not being able to safely tie your shoes in public anywhere in the West End (emphasis on "end")

"can't punch him back anymore. you get expelled, sued, and might become the victim of a gang tack after school"

It's all pretty typical - protect the guilty while instilling a victim mentality and dependence on others for help (e.g. Government). There are effective ways of dealing with bullies without physical violence - wearing pink is not on that list.

Stupidity really is the most abundant element in the universe.

A Ghandian non-violent approach in repsonse to bullying. Pretty creative.

The point is two-fold.

1] Does the treatment stop macular degeneration in men?

2] Does no one question why the subject were just women? Women are the new “gold standard”. No one seems to care that science becomes tainted.

Bulls (and bovines in general) are colorblind.

Bullies in public schools, like rapists in prisons, serve a sanctioned purpose: they induce a sense of helplessness, of frustration, of impotence, that keeps misfits in their places. Another argument for home schooling.

I was never much of a fighter back in junior high, so I had my fair share of bullies, including one who tormented me constantly.

One day I was walking down a hallway after classes were over, and this bully walked up alongside of me and started harassing me again. I was already in a bad mood, and when he pushed me, I unleashed holy hell on him.

When they pulled me off, he was the one crying, not me.

He never bothered me again after that.
