Bullying

BULLYING
There is tons of news today the last week about bullying.
In the world full of internet keyboard warriors, I can't help but laugh. Everyone is suddenly the tough guy.
Anyone can hide behind a keyboard or monitor and these days with how the world is becoming everyone seems to want to be. Look through half the videos on Youtube and you'll see some outrageous comments.
How do bullies sort out who to bully? They look for someone who they think won't fight back, someone weaker or disadvantaged. 

Crush it man! Crush it!

Its not a good thing, but life is a struggle most people get bullied a some point in their lives.
Its part of life. Only the fittest survive. The lion goes after the gazelle. Most gazelle's run, but the odd one kicks the lion in the face. Actually I made that up, but I will look through National Geographic when I have some time.
I'm not sure why but for whatever reason, perhaps due to me having my birthday in a few days I've been thinking a lot about the past. Although most of those times were good, they were sprinkled with a little bit of bad. That's probably true for most people.

I was thinking about a few times I was bullied and how and if I would change them if I could jump in a Time Machine and go back.

Here are the two more prominent stories that still irk me.

FIRST STORY
I remember grade 6 I was in middle school and on the basketball court minding my own business. I hope (although I don't recall, I may have been wearing sweat pants). Not cool back then. Two cool kids come up to me and spat in my face. I was like oh man, dude..... They started laughing and walked away.
I haven't seen those two in about 12 years, to them it was pretty standard to do that to other kids and they were considered "cool". They are cool now though yes? Or not.
I know one of the guys got in trouble with the law and was under house arrest for a few years, the other I'm not sure what happened to him.
Either way, I wish them a terrible life. You bastards!
If I could jump in my Time Machine with my mindset now, I'd come out swinging. I wouldn't say "Oh dude, that's not cool". I wouldn't say anything like WTF. I'd go after them like there is no tomorrow.
If anyone has a time machine kindly assist me in kicking their asses!

SECOND STORY
When I was in grade 5 I was at this kind of friends house. He wasn't that nice to me, but I thought maybe he would get nicer to me as time went by. I still meet him time to time and we get along now. When I was at his house he asked me, "Wanna play a game?". I was like, "Ok SURE!". I was too innocent and gullible.
He said, "Let's play 52 card pickup! He threw a deck of cards everywhere. PICK THEM UP!". I was like "Ohhh ;-(", I then proceeded to pick them all up. Its not that bad, but I still think about it. Mentally it was some major bullying.
If I could back in time I'd throw him out the window (Don't worry he wouldn't get injured too severely, he was only on the second floor).

Big and intimidating? Clock him in the face, kick him in the shins. I highly recommend it.

 Moral of the story, beat the crap out of the bullies and they won't pick on you. If you live in California or other places where kids carry guys or knives, you may want to suck it up for a few years, or get together a few of the bullied and beat the heck of the guy.
Don't do what the Japanese kids do. I read stories about how the kids that get bullied on go to the dollar store and buy hammers. They take care of the bully permanently, that's too far. Giving them a taste of their own medicine is one thing, finishing them off is too extreme.

I hear people saying violence isn't the answer, but I disagree. Beat the crap out of a bully and not only is he not going to mess with you anymore, he will think twice about bullying others.



My Japanese blog.
Also somewhat incoherent like this blog, but more weird stuff happened to me in Japan.
