My opinion on bullying is that it makes more sense to teach children to be thick-skinned and independent, as opposed to being a society of victims. Should bullying be discouraged? Yes, of course, but making children feel like it is a black and white problem with a simple solution makes little sense. People are meant to learn, be independent problem solvers, and to be able to experience life as it is. While it's a noble cause to try and stop bullying, it's just not something that will happen. It's like trying to end poverty, or making world peace. It's corny to say, but it's true.
The US has a lot of liberties and a unique culture. I had an anti-America European friend once who left for Europe, and after a year there, he wishes he could come back. (He can't because he can't afford it.)
Not always, that's just a stereotype. You can like democracy and still not like the people running the show.
He's supporting the communists. Ergo, he is communist. Ergo, server is communist. Ergo, pixels shouldnt exist cuz currency Ergo, Kaz is not true communist. Ergo, quit server.
It depends on the mood, I think. But right now I think it's the second one >_> But look at this, we've derailed a thoughtful and emphatic thread.

Bullying is never gonna end, and I hate to admit it. For some reason, some people find it neccesary, entertaining, whatever you want to call it just to put someone else down. For me, as a high school student (where bullying seems to be most noticable, but thankfully im not in that bad of a school), i feel as if all these anti bullying programs should be geared less towards telling the bullies to stop, but telling the bullied that they should NOT put up with being a victim. I completely get that there are some people that cannot or will not stand up for themselves, but I think spreading a message of 'Don't be a bystander/Don't allow yourself to be a victim' will inspire people that would normally just let it happen to stand up for others/themselves, and would be much more effective than the message of 'Don't be a bully'.
That's not much of an arguement against what I proposed; considering I pretty much said that we need to try and get rid of the bystander effect by telling people not to be bystanders in the first place
Were you? I took it as an arguement, but it's difficult to tell the tone of a person over the internet
