I never said it CAN be eliminated, as we will always have some of this sinfulness with us, but it can be GREATLY reduced by PROPERLY punishing kids/people in the right manner.

We do not properly punish anymore, so even if it is fitting a proper to have laws stating it’s a felony to murder or maim others (or their property - another example of dumbing down the punishment system since property violation often treated as unimportant these days), if we are not serious about it as to punish quickly and severely, those behaviors are enabled and continued.

It’s not liberal to have murder laws or assault/battery laws, OR theft laws. In fact, I’d say it’s very, very conservative. Moreso if the punishment system worked. I prefer swift and sure death sentences for many serious offenders.

We shouldn’t and can’t apply those laws to children.

Bullying in children and in adults are two different things, and have to be treated differently.

For adults, they can be workforce penalties or felonies, which are appropriate since adults know what bullying is and the behavior falls under existing laws.
