Zero Tolerance Teasing Policies

In primary school I had one of those childhood "enemies". Many of us have them at some stage in school. This bastard was a tad too smart to simply come at me. He sicked his older brother on me after school. No, I didn't run, and I didn't do any miraculous ninja crap. I got my arse kicked. But I never gave up giving that punk whatever he gave to me, except for the big brother treatment; I never got other people to do my dirty work for me.

i hate to push the difference but did you ever fear anything other than a black eye?

But not from that incident. From one much like it though. I don't like teasing, I think teachers should try to stop it if they see it. But it may have helped me become the big tough macho man I am today.

But back to the limp, and other injuries. I don't run away, and I don't quit. Ever. So I collect injuries. *shrug*

 

Anecdotes? Dont believe I used any. What I do use is my eyes, which some people seem unable to do unless its to read some statistics someones cobbled together for them. I told you the situation here in Perth... several years ago respect for the elderly was at least at a point where, if you were going to rob an old person, you wouldnt feel the need to bash hell out of them before you left. It's happening quite a lot here lately... and the offenders are juveniles who often dont get jail terms or are let out after 3 months or so. 30 years ago cars were stolen (less often I might add) for a joy ride then abandoned somewhere. These days they're used in smash and grab raids and then burnt out. See the difference?

"Burden of proof is on the claimant"?
A robbery victim has to prove they were robbed?
From my point of view I'm not the claimant here... the "new" theories on child rearing are not working, you're claiming they are, and I'd like someone to prove ME wrong or YOU right. Perspective. We're BOTH claiming something.

What you're saying to me is that you wont believe the sky is falling in until someone does a case study on the phenomenom and publishes a paper, which is then studied, argued about, languishes in a filing cabinet for a few years until the arguing is done, brought out, dusted off, and finally displayed in a glass case in the middle of Times Square... only to be crushed flat when the sky actually falls on it. Whereas to me all you had to do was look upwards.

Thank you Douglas Adams for the inspiration for that last bit

I still object to you genralising like that

Do you think that I don't care?
Do you think that I don't have a heart?

If you hadn't said in five hundred posts how much you like women I'd be blushing by now

No offence re leg.
One of the main defences I've developed WRT the dickheads we're discussing here is a bitchy line and sometimes I just can't help myself.

I'm sure a strapping, macho buck like yourself can take it on the chin

Barney_TRubble....

Look out, here comes one now!:

Thanks for proving my point oh-so-well. I could tell you stories too, about nasty violent adults, but I won't.

Well, you see, in most democracies, there is this concept called 'innocent until proven guilty'. The anology is remarkably precise...

I never claimed anything about theories of child raising. Go back and read my posts, please.

Umm, no, I am not. You are being a condescending ass, and commiting the 'straw man' fallacy as well. I have wasted enough time on you. If you care to back up your statements, I shall be happy to examine your evidence. If not, I have only one simple question:

What have you been concentrating and inhaling?

 

Bbcboy

It's a bit of a joke among my straight and gay friends here that I am Mister Tough-Guy. Any time a gay chap says something terribly fairy-ish, I say something like "You nancies need to go join the army. Be big and tough, like me! Grrr!" Or something else as silly. One friend admitted to owning a CD of Robbie Williams singing Sinatra. That prompted some of the harshest insults and jokes I've ever delivered, for him being such a queer bloody fairy. Part of the joke among them is that I stick to my principles no matter what. Some people will walk on by if they see a gang of little punks beating someone, for example, and I won't. I don't always come out on top. So I collect injuries. But I don't stop. I take these things very seriously, but it's still a bit of a joke among my friends.

 

I'd just like to point out that in that particular story, the sky was not falling. Chicken Little was wrong.

 

I wasnt actually referring to Chicken Little Adam.. douglas Adams wrote something in a similar fashion in one of the hitch Hikers books, dont remember exactly where but it made a lasting impression on me

AAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh........ look people, I'm done. see my new topic in this section... hopefully it will explain all.

 

Hahahah. I think the comment adam made was in joking manor.

 

Dr evyl

Why?
because she had it to, and bad. Id tell you what i mean but thats not my place and its not fair on her. All i have a right to tell you is what IVE experianced and that wasn't nice either.

 

I think you two are talking at cross purposes, and it's rather amusing!

Psst, Eyvl, 'tis skill that matters most

 

Gess we are no better than animals if we feel that atitude is right. So much for having an evolved sence of purpose we are all just parisites who feed of the weakest. The diffrence is that we do it for fun not just for survile

 

DR EVYL

Dr Evyl, my problems with bullying don't centre around myself being bullied as a child, even though I was, and bear the scars (emotional, physical, whatever) today.
My main problem is that my cousin was killed as a result of bullying, at the age of 9.
You said that being bullied helped you to grow up to become a stronger person, but what about the ones who never get the chance to grow up?

 

I HOPE that i can eventually get over it, all though it almost killed me and i almost killed myself before i met TI. Her cousin wasn't so lucky

 

That is no reason to just give up and not try. Do the police just give up on murderes because they can't catch them all? of corse they don't they take it one crime at a time. There is NO exscuse for not trying. Untill there is a perfect world there is room for improvement.

 

actully i would rather see philosophy made an important part (and yes stupidity SHOULD be illegle) and science more valued. Your brain should be more important than your money. At the same time this will never happen while the problems that exist in this world are there. Example if all the scientest get killed because they are not tanks (and most ARN'T) there will BE no world like you descibe. I would love to have been able to defend myself but then also I could have turned into the bullie then because i wanted power so much then (cause i had so little).

Still the way we are going nither of us will have to worrie about perfect worlds because the world bullies are going to kill us all.

 

i give up. Have a good life and hope no one decides that they don't like the look of you and kills you.
