    WAIT!!!!!


    I just realized you did not argue the fact of bullying women into sex... Why didn't you address that point... Your mother and female kin - is that okay for other to "bully" them into doing things they don't want to do?

    Or any other women for that matter?

    Well Well Well

    And angry little Marine.....Awesome.

    I too was in the service. During the late 60's....Did three tours in Vietnam/Cambodia.

    Always admired those Jar-Heads over there. But some of them had squirrels in their heads. On a few occasions myself and my buddies had to save their backsides behind enemy lines from shure death.
    And they always respected/admired me for that....Awesome times.
    But you, know nothing about me, and are simple mind clueless. and I like that.
    To me you just are another Bleading Heart.

    Today, this society in America has become WEAK, PERVERT, IGNORANT and PETHETIC.
    Thus is one of the many reason this once strong proud nation, right or wrong, is now belly-up.

    To each his own.

    How do you fellas say...."WhoooHaaaa"!!!​

    It’s OooooRaaah dog…

    I am not a bleeding heart, I am the heart of this wonderful country I fought for, and if someone wants to be a cup cake – he has the freedom to do so!!! That is what I fought for – that cup cakes freedom! And it’s not for you to take that freedom away!!! NEVER!!!

    It’s people like you that have CORRUPTED my beloved America with your bullying and narrow minded views on how things “should” be. Nobody is like you! God did not make drones, he made individuals and you REFUSE to let them be what God made them to be!

    Sad thing is – you are what I was sworn to fight – what I will fight to my dying breath and that is people who try to take freedoms away from the citizens of MY country! If you want to force your beliefs on other who are not willing – I suggest you move to a third world country and/or join a terrorist group – either way – they will accept you for your bullying since they have the same mind set as you do!!

    You should be ashamed of yourself to say you defended this country when you don’t even allow their citizens to express the freedoms you fought for dog!!!! That is wrong!! There are people with freedoms, those who defend those freedoms, and those who will try to take those freedoms away!! A Marines job is to set those who take away our freedoms free keeping Heaven packed with fresh souls… You are taking away freedoms I have sworn to defend..

    To me… you are nothing more than a terrorist… and thus I will treat you as such!! As I suggest every member of this website who is from the U.S. does as well dog…

    You say - They all came out in my Post.......I hope they did.

    You and many others have that simple mind mentality.....Your entitled to it.

    Hey, I fought for this nation. Even though a lot of folk don't even know were Vietnam is on the map. Nor remember or heard of it....Oh well.

    But I can shurely say this.
    I have killed in battle many a better Real Men, that what is walking on the streets of America today.

    And those that support and accept that Sinfull, Pervert Scum. I have no pity for, when that Nationwide Social Breakdown accures. Because the part of this nation were I reside. It will be defended and taken care for by True American Patriots.
    Who support and fly Old Glory - but always respect Old Dixie.
    And if ever needed, our part of the country will be defended by a whole - whole lot of folk, even meanner bastards than I am. But I'm proud to be part of.

    Now....Do you understand that?....Allthough I don't expect you too.....Yank. ​

    Bullying seems to convey a sense of entitlement in those that bully to mistreat / hurt and abuse others. I don't abide that people because of psychological problems / because of unchecked anger issues / because of lack of empathy and human decency for others should be entitled to bully others. I don't believe anyone has an "entitlement" to bully others. Yet the bully does, which shows up the illness in their psyche. Which shows the detriment of the ills they perpetrate on others. Bullying is one part of a sickness in our society.

    Never encourage. And none of us should be bystanders in the face of bullying, but should rally and support and defend those who are bullied. I have seen toxic bullying in the workplace. Where miserable people who can't manage themselves and their obvious psychological problems bully others. Bully's are unwell miserable people who target others with meanness and intimidation because their own lives are a shambles and they can't cope with themselves - - and so they hit out. Which makes them COWARDS to actually do the hard work to work on themselves. Instead they try to make others as miserable and useless as they are. Bully's are actually very weak people. Scratch the veneer. They collapse.

    That's a clear example of a sociopath, i knew one in school.
    I actually have a few books on this issue though i haven't read them yet.
    I can send you any of the following e-books:
    "Toxic workplace, managing toxic personalities and their systems of power
    Mitchell Kusy, Elizabeth Holloway"

    "Snakes in suits, when psychopaths go to work
    Paul Babiak, Robert D. Hare"

    "The mask of sanity, An attempt to clarify some issues about the so-called psychopathic personality" (this is a classic book about this issue i think)

    "Toxic people, decontaminate difficult people at work
    Marsha Petrie Sue"

    "Coping with Toxic Managers, Subordinates:
    ...And Other Difficult People (part of the title is: Using emotional intelligence to survive and prosper)
    ROY H. LUBIT"

    I believe the person that post was addressed to will understand its meaning.
    I'll explain for the clueless. The books are about sociopaths and bullying on the workplace which can be a serious issue.

    That old Pervert Scum is your Commander and Chief. Are you suggesting if you were still a dog and the President was black you would say the same thing?

    Family is from N. C. dog… I am fully aware of “your type” of people who respect Old Dixie that are your age, and you were not the ones I liked too well since you voted, fought or shot anything different than what you’ve been brainwashed to accept… You don’t have a mind of your own, and are still the exact same as an idiot who thought the world was flat 300 years ago… Do you realize that? Do you understand that? That you’ve been brainwashed like your parents, and your parents parents to equate that you are of the same intelligence of someone who lived 300 years ago – which is equivalent to a third grade education…

    What does it feel like to know you’ve been brainwashed? That you hold the same views as someone who lived there 300 years ago and your kin, for 300 years are still the same narrow minded folks as people who thought a 3rd grade education was sufficient to get by. How does that feel? You are brainwashed to maintain a 3rd graders mentality? I believe you even called me a Yank!!!

    Lastly, I am sorry you do not believe in this country and it’s a pity that you are so old and don’t understand it either and how it works. There are true American Patriots, but you are a Patriots sir. Let me tell you what a Patriot is – someone who goes AGAINST the Gov’t and it’s people and only thinks of his/her individual rights! That is what you are and the people whom follow blindly like sheep… Other patriots are terrorist who only look at their own agendas! That is what you are – and WHAT YOU DESCRIBED ABOVE!!! Do you realize that? You just described a terrorist…? When the US went into holy land – what do you think Bin Laden said to his people? I don’t know – maybe something like this, “the country will be defended by a whole - whole lot of folk, even meanner bastards than I am. But I'm proud to be part of.”

    You said that…

    Bullying is contraproductive. A person can be correct and get bullied, so he/she isn't heard anymore. In the end he/she is still correct, but people won't know. This is not the way to find out, what is correct and what is not.

    Check this out...

    Scott (15 years old) has just finnished hi Pys-Ed class in school. He with other boys in his class are inside the showers.
    Fellow schoolmate Little Jimmy comes over near Scott in the showers, stares at Scott, and slowly his eye's move downward...... Scott see's this...... Little Jimmy remarks "Nice".
    "GET AWAY FROM ME TWINKY" -Scott yells back at Little Jimmy......Little Jimmy breaks into tears.

    Is that regarded as Bullying.? ​

    No. How is that bullying? That's someone feeling out of their comfort zone because the other person made an unprovoked, unecessary personal intrusion, and so they push back to regain their pesonal bubble. Bullying would be if Jimmy made fun of the other kid, or if Scott had called a bunch of friends over and started berating/beating up/bullying in general because he percived Jimmy as different (probably homosexual, or bi).

    Bullying taught me the importance of a straight left to the bully's eye. They don't expect it and they hate wounds that show. All sorts of messages there about right-wing extremists!

    Why do you insist on equating me with you? I have never claimed to be tough – but obviously when I speak back your own words from your post you feel threatened… See the irony in that? Do you see the irony? I think it’s comedy personally…

    For one – I think you need to READ because not once have I stated I was a liberal. Because I am not a Liberal by any means. What is detouring this Nation is people like you who are bigots in what made this country GREAT!!! Every decision that was Passed by your Republican Right Wing side of Gov’t was agreed upon by Democrats – bad ones and good one. And the flip side is – whatever a Democratic President agrees upon was signed off by your Right Wing Republicans…. Ooo – the chilling truth! Whatever Obama (the Black President) does and creates new measures was signed off by Republican Reps genius… (I am being sarcastic when speaking of your intelligence – you do know that right?)

    You are delusional and it’s scary to me that you are bullying good citizens into thinking like you and the 3rd grade mentality that has been passed down generation after generation and why you still call people “Yankees”… Man… That’s just ridiculous… Yankee’s – really? Wow… Yea – you’re not a product of 1770…

    Presidents are above the law – every last one of them. Not a single one who has done heinous crimes has been prosecuted for them. Not a single one. Why would you think this one different unless you think of him different… Now… I wonder… What is different about THIS President than all the rest??

    Do you know? Do I need to tell you?

    Clinton and Johnson. Both impeached. I would call that prosecuted, wouldn't you? Or don't you know what the word "prosecuted" means?

    You know how your predecessors solved this kind of disagreement with the societal controls and norms?

    They got a big boat and sailed to a land where they could kill everyone they disagreed with and then be the boss of everything.

    I wonder when it's going to dawn on right wing racists (not directed at you particularly) and anti-US-society subversives that it's gone too far and diversity is what the US is all about.

    Instead of shouting for A, B or C race to go back where they came from or shouting to blockade the borders to any ethnicity they don't approve of, they need to get in a big boat and go to somewhere wild and uncivilised. Somalia might benefit from their civilising influence....or not...

    It would be funny if it's disingenuous. But I doubt that.. He sounds like he's willing to seriously hurt somebody with that point of view.
