[Luddite Patent Counsel]

Why should anyone be "protected" from "bullying"? The law is intended to protect us from specific acts (e.g., battery) and threats (e.g., assault), but what you define as "bullying", others might define as expression of well-deserved disapproval. Of course, if you want to live in a nanny state, you have plenty of options in Eurabia or Canuckistan. Maybe you should explore them.

Hell, let's just get rid of those "nanny state" laws that protect us from assault and battery. If you can't protect yourself, too bad. It's off to Canada with you! Whatever. I want civility. Bullies are not civil. They're jerks. If rules and law can be used to punish them, I see nothing wrong with it. They have their way: intimidation, etc, and civilized people have the law. There is nothing wrong with using it.

Eurabia
I hate to tell you, but homosexuals don't get special treatment here and there are no goofy rights groups (that have any power) protecting them. It's also OK to make fun of them on TV and radio and at work.
