I don't want to get into this argument since I don't know what it is about But I do teach a course about Bullying to grade 5 kids and we teach them that it is bullying if the person feels bullied. If someone feels like they are being bullied than you can't tell them that their feelings are wrong - if they feel like they are being bullied then it is bullying. Just throwing in my two cents

:shocked2:

The "have been emotionally bullied" and the "have been bullied" poll numbers still don't match up what the hell is going on?

10 people voted so far 6 have been bullied but 8 have been emotionaly bullied that makes no sense and I don't think anyone will vote for the option with 0 votes

I was bullied from grade 1 up to grade 7 I was the only brown girl in a small town in the middle of nowhere in Africa and my classmates who were all either black or white saw me as something of an alien.

That’s great :) Maybe this poll will be useful to you as well

I am conducting some informal surveys on this site and others for a school project dealing with the issue of bullies and bullying. So please vote in the poll and share personal stories :)

Wow, she is definitely in denial. I think my mom suspects that I am an atheist and her solution is to take me to church more often:rolleyes: yep I'm still in the closet :(

I suggest spamming this thread with useless stuff Maybe that will keep Frodo away - we shouldn't encourage him any more How did it go? I still haven't told my parents that I am an atheist (if I did I think they would go mental)

This guy isn't really annoying but he is disgusting I wouldn’t eat this shit even if someone gave me a billion dollars! [ame= ] [/ame]

A few more questions directed at all the libertarians that have replied thus far: 1. What can we do in a libertarian society if a company is dumping toxic waste in rivers and oceans, if a company is using child labour and if a company is discriminating its employees based on race/colour/gender/sexual orientation etc... 2. In a libertarian society what can we do if an asteroid is going to hit the Earth, what can we do about Global Warming, what can we do about other natural disasters? 3. In a libertarian society how can we help the poor and the needy? 4. and lastly in a libertarian society what can we do if we are attacked and if someone wages war against us. How would a libertarian society respond to the threat of Hitler and/or September 11?

I personally find that view point very unrealistic my major problem with privatizing everything is: the only thing that companies want is to make a profit, a company does not care about the welfare of individuals and/or about the welfare of our planet. Their only goal is to make a profit. Without someone regulating the private companies I fear that the companies and their practices will go out of hand - I think some level of regulation is necessary. And as for taxes I personally feel everyone should have access to good schooling, healthcare, clean drinking water and all the other necessities of life. If we privatize these things than only the rich will be able to acquire them - and I feel that if we are too live in a good and productive society then EVERYONE should have at least their most fundamentals needs met. I feel libertarians look at the world through a very middle class/rich perspective - I can't imagine someone who is a minority or someone who is poor having a libertarian view point

The blue is really pretty But I can do better Watch and learn ladies :smug:

A question to all the libertarians on this board: Do you believe that we should not pay taxes and that everything should be privatized?

Why does everyone dislike pink? It’s such a pretty colour :bigcry: I don't like the white font, it's too boring and plain ~ I’ll try a new colour ~

Of course it could have been tears :facepalm: I apologize for my pervy mind Yes I like these kinds of threads It’s good to see people debating maturely without getting into fights Let’s hope it stays that way Anyway I've been very busy lately But I decided to come back (I need my daily Coldplay fix ;))

Hello everyone Interesting thread @ the_gloaming09 I think organized religion and religious institutions are very harmful BUT I don't mind people having a personal faith. I think someone’s personal beliefs are okay as long as they don't shove their beliefs down other people’s throat. @ Lyvie and Wyrd Yes talks of religion arouse me very much

I feel like I'm losing my mind Lory what dimension do you live in? (it's not the Twilight Zone is it?)

I had no school today but my Uni doesn't have snow days even though I live in freakin Toronto and it's crazy up here.

Lory this is all I have to say to you :facepalm:

Lory you are very pretty Now smile a little and stop stressing out so much

He has five threads on the first page So I was just naturally curious

Why does this Yossarian person have so many threads? Is it a troll :thinking:

If your friend really is anorexic then she needs professional help Nothing you say will change her mind Convince her to go to a doctor/therapist The best you can do is to be supportive of her and don't be judgmental She has a mental issue and you can't change that by just talking to her

I think Ricky is hilarious I don't think any of the celebrities were offended, if they were then it's their own fault for not being able to handle a bit of humour
