An Important Announcement

I'm Anglo-Irish you poo. My great granddad blew up police stations.

Right, but gingers aren't even persecuted that much. Anyone who plays White Knight on that battlefield is a fucking moron. My point still stands that Dix isn't bully fodder and henceforth will never know what kind of internal scars long-term bullying leaves.

I think a little bullying is essential to becoming a well-rounded adult, but everyone has different thresholds. What doesn't bother one person may deeply hurt another.

Sounds like she was stupid and needed a more effective solution than 'Let's move every time'. Hopefully the attention this garners will put help schools or Judges or our Federal Gubmint or the Queen or whatthefuckever to do something about online bullying.

And yeah, bullying is going to happen no matter what. It's just the conditions someone's being bullied in that needs to be examined. For example:

BULLY BOT, SCAN FOR BULLY LEVELS.

The future is going to surprise all of us.

As much as bullying sucks, it will exist forever, just like suicide. These social issues are ingrained in human nature, and the best we can do is educate and offer free help to victims. More ambitious goals like stopping bullying all together - while noble - is a fool's errand, imo.

Let's kill all the bullies.

It's just weird though, isn't it? What the fuck happened to survival instincts?

Again, teenagers instincts aren't fully developed. Their emotions trick them into feeling a certain way when they rationally shouldn't feel that way, or at least not to such extremes.

Teenagers, especially in America, have so much more expected of them than a few generations back. Their lives have been made much more complicated, often needlessly so and through fault of their own.

Especially in America? Fuck that, it's a global phenomenon.

But that doesn't have anything to do with it considering the rise in expectation (and there was never anything more intangible) is proportionate to opportunity to succeed. Not to mention this is all theoretical and subjective.

No, expectations is a huge huge part of teenage suicide. Just look at Japan.

I'm not saying it isn't a factor, but if it is it's something experienced by all teens across the Earth, not exceptionally by Americans.

It's not like it's a nationalist statement. On the whole, American teenagers are dumber, more shallow, and are quicker to kill themselves over stupid emotional dribble.

No. It's because Americans are better at everything. Even suicide.

'MERICA!

When japanese kids commit suicide, do they do it seppuku style?

I can't believe this is what our discussions have degraded into.

Nep's right. We should be talking about ponies instead.

Wait... for realz!?

Nepsotic also says that as if the discussions on here have always been fine and dandy before this blog.

I knew they weren't the best, but it's getting kind of ridiculous now. I like it, though. You don't really hear this stuff on any other forum, except maybe a Zoophilia one.

Oh wait, that's us

Shut the fuck up about ponies.

Dix's scornful attitude towards ponies coupled with his current avatar compelled me to share this;

Jesus, oh, how much I loathe that show.


I like how pony discussion on the forum has risen without me mentioning it. Room for a thread? Pleeaaaase?

You're just not old enough to appreciate the brilliant subtlety of King of the Hill.

Yep.

I love King of the Hill. Not just for the niceness of everything in it, but also for the voice acting.

I have no opinion on Amanda Todd, because I have never been bullied, so I have no clue what she's been through. Oddly though, I always thought that if anyone was going to be bullied in any given school, I'd be a likely candidate.

Ah Ukinojoe.

You know how to make me happy, Sekto.

That I do.

King of The Hill is the best show ever and Nep better step himself before he wrecks himself.

I'm going to assume that Nep is referring that crappy Youtube video, and not actually saying he doesn't like King of the Hill.

I'm going to assume that so I don't have to believe that he's as dumb as we like to say he is.

I watched one episode. It was a bit harsh of me, but maybe I'll give it another try.
