Performance artist Lady Gaga is calling on the government to make bullying a federal offense.

Reacting to the recent suicide of bullied gay Buffalo teen Jamey Rodemeyer, the 25-year-old New Yorker tweeted Wednesday, “Jamey Rodemeyer, 14 yrs old, took his life because of bullying. Bullying must become be [sic] illegal. It is a hate crime.”

Linking to the late boy’s “It Gets Better” YouTube video, which encourages viewers to love themselves and ignore the haters, Lady Gaga said she’s been sobbing, musing, and shouting since the tormented 14-year-old’s Sunday death.

“The past days I’ve spent reflecting, crying, and yelling,” Lady Gaga tweeted. “I have so much anger. It is hard to feel love when cruelty takes someones life.”

With a name like Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta , I don’t blame her for calling herself “Lady Gaga”, I am sure she was bullied aplenty over that name.

The problem these days is that kids aren’t allowed to solve their own bullying problems. If you kick the bullies butt you are tossed out of school. What use to be the schoolyard fights that were forgotten minutes after it was over , has now become a federal offense, for which suspension or expulsion is the punishment.So now parents do the kids fighting for them, whining and crying to the principal over things the kids used to solve.

Hey Big Brother!

How about we outlaw ugly bottle blonds at the same time.

literally a meat head

[camle]

funny thing is that while bullying takes on many forms, they pay lip service to most orms of bullying, and only focus on bullying of homosexuals.
people who are bullied because they are short, fat, stupid, weak, etc. need not feel protected. only gay children.
(How does a child who shouldn’e beh avign sex know that they are gay?)

[Tax-chick]

Student beats up another? Arrest the little maggot and charge him with assault.

I agree. On the other hand, if a student says, "I think homosexual behavior is a sin, and not only that, your clothes and makeup are absurd," the "victim" should be able to respond, "Who cares what you think?" and get on with his life.

Where did I read (?)

Dan shall be a serpent by the way,
an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels,
so that his rider shall fall backward.

And in Revelations, chapter 7, where is the tribe of Dan?
Have you ever considered Emperor Constantine I in the history of the Catholic Church?

Have you ever read

From Sabbath to Sunday by Samuele Bacchiocchi?
"The fact that as a result of Hadrian's edict Judeo-Christian members and bishops were replaced by gentile ones, indicates that a clear distinction was made at that time between the two. We would assume that the distinction was limited not only to the racial factor, but that it included also a new theological orientation in particular toward characteristic festivals such as Passover and the Sabbath. This hypothesis is supported by the testimony of Epiphanius who in his lengthy report about the controversy over date of the celebration of Passover states:
`The controversy arose [literally, was stirred up] after the exodus of the bishops of the circumcision [A.D. 135] and it has continued until our time.'
The bishop makes special reference to the fifteen Judeo-Christian bishops who administered the Church of Jerusalem up to A.D. 135 and who up to that time had practiced the quartodeciman Passover [the Passover on the 14th of Nisan!] since they base themselves on a document known as the apostolic constitutions—where the following rule is given:
`You shall not change the calculation of time, but you shall celebrate it at the same time as your brethren who came out of the circumcision. With them observe the Passover'"
(From Sabbath to Sunday, p. 161,).

Where the Council of Nicea (325 A.D.) laid the groundwork for the ultimate expunging of all traces of "Jewishness" from the doctrines and customs of the church, the Council of Laodicea (whose date is a subject of some controversy), positively confirmed it.

Canon 29 of the Council of Laodicea said:
"...Christians should not Judaize and should not be idle on the Sabbath, but should work on that day; they should, however, particularly reverence the Lord's day [Sunday] and, if possible, not work on it, because they are Christians."

For some period of time, because of the growing confusion in the apostate church, both the Sabbath and Sunday were being observed. Two contemporary ancient historians, Sozomen (who lived about A.D. 440) and Socrates (who lived about A.D. 439) documented this dual observance.

Socrates wrote: "Although almost all churches throughout the world celebrate the sacred mysteries [the Eucharist] on the Sabbath of every week, yet the Christians of Alexandria and at Rome, on account of some ancient tradition, have ceased to do this." (From Sabbath to Sunday, p. 196).

Notice! These historians, writing more than four centuries after the time of the resurrection of Christ, more than twice the length of time the United States has existed as a nation, admit that
"almost all churches throughout the world celebrate ... the Sabbath…."

Sozomen also wrote,
"...the people of Constantinople, and almost everywhere, assemble together on the Sabbath as well as on the first day of the week..." (Ibid. p. 197).

Any serious student of ecclesiastical history MUST read Dr. Samuele Bacchiochi's book From Sabbath to Sunday. The absolute documentation of how Easter was substituted for the Passover, how Sunday was substituted for the Sabbath is totally conclusive!

Remember, God established His Sabbath day as the great IDENTIFYING SIGN, like a stamp, symbol, label, or MARK between Himself and His people!

Is it any wonder that the tribe of Dan and the Catholic Church lead people astray?

Bullying is now a code word for protecting gay kids from being taunted in schools.

Hollywood Bullies Against Bullying?

http://townhall.com/columnists/BrentBozell/2010/10/08/hollywood_bullies_against_bullying

CNN’s “Larry King Live” brought on the antonym of human dignity, Kathy Griffin, who quickly inflamed the Clementi moment by charging “the blood’s on their hands” of our “so-called leaders.”

Let’s put aside that ridiculous “connecting the dots” charge for a second. Larry King should have been asked: Given that Griffin regularly takes to the stage and television to viciously attack other people, is she really the kind of personality that can plausibly pose as the guardian of empathy and the role model for anti-bullying behavior? This year, she made the rounds of talk shows laughing up the controversy she created when she said Sen. Scott Brown’s daughters were “prostitutes.” One daughter, Arianna, is a freshman at Syracuse University — the same age as the boy who took his own life. Griffin’s even wished violence on people. She recently told a Playgirl magazine writer, “I’d like to push Sarah Palin down the stairs.” Now she’s CNN’s anti-bullying poster child.

After about three months of it in junior high, I went went after three bullies one at a time.

Fighting a bully is often quite effective, especially when in school. I was in a high school metal shop when a would-be bully slapped me hard against the back of my head. I turned and rushed him, sending him tumbling in a mass of desks (which were unanchored). The teacher, in his fairness, after hearing my accurate account, sent the culprit to the vice principal (the enforcer). The apprentice bully challenged me to a fight after school, which I ignored. He never bothered me again.

Why does Charles Atlas (he was an Italian immigrant) have a 10-pack? Count them.

[luvbach1]

...punish students who are trying to defend themselves from said bullies.

That policy is widespread. I was defending myself after a bully suddenly jumped on my back, slapping my shoulders hard. He was not a friend and had attempted bullying me verbally before. I was sent to the principal's office for fighting. The principal said the bully said he was only joking and warned me not to fight again. I replied that I wouldn't fight again if he left me alone. I have no doubt he was doing it for his own amusement but not mine.

We’re being bullied by a circus freak about bullying... I don’t want to live on this planet anymore...

[NativeSon]

Now it’s cry on the Internet to complete strangers.

Kids will gang up and pick on others for a variety of reasons; you're too tall, too short, too light, too dark, too fat, and on and on.

I was short, skinny with a big head and a fro. That went over real well in school.

I lifted weights, learned to box and fight and stayed out of the sun so I didn't get darker. After my initiation into the pecking order, I've never lost a fight and I've never started one.

And I'm still short... head hasn't gotten any smaller either

[Da Coyote]

Horrors!

It can actually speak.

Will wonders never cease?

She sounds mentally ill.

[Manic_Episode]

I’m being bullied by all this anti-bullying.

Speaking of illegal, this ho would never have a career in a million years if anti-trust laws were enforced. Listen to Top 40 radio today, almost all of the music they play is catered to the gay community, gay discoteque dance music, even though homosexuals make up a small percentage of the population. The left is doing this exclusively to cram the homosexual agenda into kids minds. If you’re in a band today you have absolutely no hope whatsoever of being heard on the radio today, no matter how many records you sell unless you promote the gay agenda or other leftist views.
