” I don’t agree. Bullying has always been a big problem in schools ...”

I won’t disagree that “bulling” has been a problem since Cain and Abel.
It is called ‘life’ and will always be.

BUT, the anti “bullying” jihad is simply a project to suppress free speech.

Yes, bullying is an old problem, but it’s different now. You got the victims with nowhere to turn and so they get severely depressed, go home, grab their daddy’s gun and then shoot everyone. Either that or they go home and kill themselves.

That is different. That didn’t happen before. So something has gotten worse. And that is one of the common denominators of these school shooters...they were all bullied.

My theory is that in the modern age, there is no sense of community anymore. When I grew up in the 80s, sure there were bullies. But practically everyone had friends. You didnt have all these video games and cell phones and social media. You went outside and played football and baseball. Even bullied kids had a feeling of belonging somewhere. Today, there is so much isolation. Kids don’t go out and play anymore. I hardly ever see kids ride bikes anymore. My bike was my world when I was a kid. I would HATE to be a kid today.

And even with adults it’s gotten bad. Neighbors barely even know each other anymore. Everyone dates online or swipes their Tinder app. And then with the little free time that’s left people go home and binge watch the new Netflix series.

Our society sucks.
