What the-- ?! Doesn't that obviously defeat the purpose of trying to stop bullying?!

If one must resort to violence to stop a bully permantlly there are only two civilized ways to do it so that along the way the bully gets the point and repents.
1 Beat them to death with a Nerf bat. Last I heard it only takes about 18 hours.( If it does killyou first)
2 throw them off a building, at least eight stories up. The only roof I have access to is my own I'll have to throw them off four times.( Since my house is only two stories.)

By the way all that "stand up to your bully and they'll respect you" crap they shovel feed you as a kid is just that. Cr*p!

Bullies are usually damaged in the head, and take out their anger on people they think HAVE to be victimized. :roll:

That's what I think though. :|

If that is the case then the type of damage is very common and repeatable. When I was a child some teachers and some other students worked together on the bullying.

Hmm.. I would have thought wanting to kill or harm a bully would make you just as big a bully as they are in the first place. Sure, bullies may not be able to be reasoned with, but if you don't resort to their tactics and either ignore them or walk away, they will grow tired sooner or later and look for a new target. Remember, the only reason that bullies start up is because they get a bite in the first place. Also, being told you can or can't have something is not bullying, it is practical advice.

You really don't know bullies.

Killing doesn't helped anyone. Remember the VA Tech Shooting as an example.

The war in Iraq is another good example.

ignoring them and walking away does NOT, repeat not, make them look elsewhere for a "New Target" and why should anyone have to be subjected to such treatment just because they are different. Whether you "bite" or not, they're still bullies. And by the way, this is just my opinion but where I'm from, harming a bully is called "Self-defense.

There is no duty to back down or flee from a bully. I'm certain that whoever invented such a "duty" was a bully himself.
