Nay!
Bullies should not be executed. And I know everyone, including me, has been the bully!! And some people are offended easily. Were Muslims offended when the Quran was burned? It makes us all look like bullies.

To better enforce inoffensiveness to everyone in general, ought all bullies (bullies being defined as anyone who is offensive to anyone) be summarily executed? Such punishment may sound harsh, not meaning to offend anyone here, but it would reduce the offensiveness of all populations in general. So, execute anyone who offends anyone else? Yay or nay?

yeah.... 'cause that's totally what anyone's talking about.....

Nope, I think this is a spin-off thread of a discussion he had in Dox's thread about how to define hate speech and drawing the line of what's acceptable in the PPR section.

Don't get me wrong-- bullying is a serious problem. Take the suicide of Tyler Clementi at Rutgers as a recent example of what sort of damage bullies can cause.

I realize that due to extensive media coverage the Clementi case springs readily to mind when bullying is discussed, but I don't think it works as an example of bully-inflicted damage. There's a fairly large information vacuum as to exactly why he killed himself, which has made the case a bit of a Rorschach inkblot that people have projected personal experiences into (and often mistaken these personal feelings for facts about the case), and a lot of people have concluded (perhaps not entirely unreasonably) that his death was related to the webcam incidents. Additionally,no real evidence of any sort of extensive 'campaign' of bullying against Clementi has emerged; the case largely revolves around two incidents over the course of three days, and depending on the specifics of each of these incidents, it may be a tough sell to label them as a damaging bully incidents. It's important to note that the media coverage of this case has erred on the side of sensationalism, and a lot of what people believe about this case doesn't seem to reflect what the two students facing charges have been accused of doing. From what I've been able to gather, the charges these two students face are very likely the most the prosecutor could plausibly bring against them, and, once again depending on the specifics of each incident, may be reduced or even fall apart completely.

In short, this case is an ungodly mess, and probably only useful as an example of why dealing with bullying is so difficult.

He doesn't seem to do a good job at it.

How the heck is it possible that 4 out of 5 voters think that offending someone is the most reprehensible of all crimes? Where do people develop this idea?

I don't know. You don't think that peronisfying somoen by their "race", gender overcompensates their experiences, know-how and qualified guaranteers?

I don't think that a person's "race", gender or location of birth has anything to do with know-how or qualifications for work. I think that treating such irrelevant criteria as grounds for either discrimination or preferential treatment is wrong.

Not breath, rather breathing, I'm glad my sense of smell is not that impressive.

I pressume that it wouldn't be rare for a person having had bad experiences such as bullying would be likely to be affected more with some issues than others.

And for the votes, I voted Yes, because your threads offend my computer, which is behaving oddly.

No, I'd just say that principles should reserve the right to have a big oak board on the wall of their offices with plenty of holes drilled so there's no air cushion. Preferably job candidates who have minor league baseball or semi-pro golf on their resume with their PHD in education would also be a benefit, that way they have a well-trained arm and know where the technical peak of their own swing is. For others without such background they could just videotape the paddlings and have professional trainers sit down with them to diagram and critique their swing for better results.
